This practice is absolutely wonderful. I'd almost have another root canal just so I could come back! (Or maybe not.)
I have had a lot of dental work in my life, and have learned that different practitioners have different manners and approaches and skill sets. The endodontist I saw here, Dr. Olson, was so kind, gentle, and friendly. I was scared to have my front tooth worked on, but it barely hurt at all. Moreover, when he was done he put on a temporary that blended very well with my other tooth so I didn't have to look awkward. Truly, he was so respectful and made a point of ensuring I was comfortable.
They offer a service called Gentle Wave that costs extra but apparently can clean the tooth well. I was okay getting it, but Dr. Olson decided I didn't need it. It's so nice to know they don't upsell you if you don't need the treatment. That alone shows such integrity.
I will definitely return here and would encourage you to. They are pretty easy to get an appointment with, have ample parking, and a light, clean office. 10/10

Very professional and friendly office. I appreciate how quickly I got an appointment and that they were up front with how much the procedure would cost.
I was referred to Dr. Olson for a root canal. On my first visit Dr. Olson reviewed my records and took x-rays and confirmed I needed a root canal.
During my second apt. He took a second look at my x-rays and told me he had thought a lot about what was going on with my tooth and was not convinced I needed the root canal after all. He took the time to do further tests and decided it would be better to adjust my bite and see if that corrected the pain I was having while biting on certain foods. He explained how and why this might be the case and then did what he thought was best. He said, “If you were my wife I wouldn’t do it just yet.” I appreciate his candor and conservative approach. He asked me to call if the issue wasn’t resolved.
I still may need to get the root canal but I really appreciate his willingness to think about my problem instead of just getting it done. If I do need the root canal, I will definitely be back to see him.

I’m a product of the first 15 years of life being treated by military dentist- if you know, you know. I am 65 years old now and have severe anxiety about dental procedures. My experience at Rocky Mountain Endodontics was amazing. I found them to be kind, very patient and empathetic. I really hope to never have to see them again but if I do have to I know I would be in great hands! Highly recommend

Dr. Olson was magnificent! Very gentle and caring. So glad I could get in so quickly under dire pain in my tooth and a mandatory root canal which saved my life, I believe. I feel so much better after his treatment and can’t believe how sick I really was. So very thankful!

Dr. Olson is an amazing doctor, gentle, personable, and attentive. I was nervous for my first root canal, but it went smoothly and I didn’t have any pain after the anesthetic wore off. Would highly recommend.
