First Visit

Your first visit with Dr. Koroni is designed to be comfortable, informative, and stress-free. We take the time to understand your concerns, review your dental history, and explain every step of your treatment plan.

What to Expect:

  • A warm welcome from our staff
  • Review of your medical and dental history
  • Digital X-rays or imaging (if needed)
  • Thorough examination and diagnosis
  • Discussion of treatment options
  • Answers to all your questions

Aftercare Instructions

Following your treatment, proper aftercare is essential for comfort and healing. Here are general guidelines to support your recovery:

After Root Canal Therapy:

  • Mild soreness is normal for a few days
  • Take over-the-counter pain medication as recommended
  • Avoid chewing on the treated side until fully restored with a crown/filling
  • Maintain gentle brushing and flossing around the area

After Apicoectomy (Microsurgery):

  • Apply an ice pack to reduce swelling (10 min on, 10 min off for first 24 hours)
  • Eat soft foods and avoid chewing near the surgical site
  • Take prescribed antibiotics or medications as directed
  • Avoid strenuous activity for 24–48 hours
  • If you experience severe pain, swelling, or fever, contact our office immediately at 713-645-8822.

Insurance & Financing

We believe financial concerns should never stand in the way of necessary dental care. Our office accepts most major dental insurance plans and our team will gladly assist you in understanding and maximizing your benefits.

For patients without insurance, we provide flexible payment solutions, including financing options, to make high-quality endodontic care accessible and affordable.

Our goal is to give you peace of mind — so you can focus on your comfort and recovery, not the paperwork.
