Dr. Marta Orrego Rafla was born in Pereira, Colombia. She received her Doctorate in Dental Medicine, as well as her postgraduate certification in Endodontics from the University of Pennsylvania. Upon completion of the program, Dr. Rafla received the Outstanding Clinician Award. In 1993, Dr. Rafla joined Endodontic Associates, Inc.
Endodontics is an image guided field, for many years limited to 2-D technologies (regular dental x-rays) that in some cases did not render a clear image due to complex and overlapping structures. The CBCT provides highly accurate, 3-D radiographic images for the diagnosis, planning and treatment with minimal radiation to the patient, enabling a level of anatomical accuracy and patient care not possible with 2-D technologies (regular dental x-rays).We only use CBCT to provide diagnostic information that can not be obtained by lower dose imaging technology.
Your initial appointment will consist of a comprehensive examination to determine if root canal treatment is necessary and if the tooth is a good candidate for root canal treatment. In some cases, treatment can be done the same day of the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
Most insurance companies will respond within four to six weeks. Please call our office if your statement does not reflect your insurance payment within that time frame. Any remaining balance after your insurance has paid is your responsibility. Your prompt remittance is appreciated. Fees are due in Full at the time of service.

Excellent care from reception to prep all the way through the root canal procedure. Dr. Basseghi was just excellent. I was miserable for a few weeks waiting for my tooth to settle before deciding to go for a root canal treatment. They got me in quickly and 1 hour later I was very happy again!

The doctor who saw me was great. Her assistant was excellent and they made the experience less traumatic than the crown procedure I had somewhere else that sent me there for a root canal in the first place. The only reason I took a star off is because when I called a few days later to ask something the receptionist was not helpful. I simply told her that I wanted to know what the doctor thought about my primary dentist seeing me 7 weeks after the root canal to permanently close it and I wanted to know if the doctor thought it was too long and if I needed to see someone else sooner than 7 weeks. "Look, all we say is that you have to see someone between 4-6 weeks after, " that's all the receptionist said. And, she went on to repeat that.

I was never told that specifically by anyone and I just wanted to know of whatever is on my tooth would hold until then. So, she repeated it once more. I kinda lost my patience and said thank you and hung up. I mean, can you write down what I said and simply ask the dentist and give me a call back? I would 100% go back there for treatment because the people who treated me were professionals, but this call was not great.

After several endodontists told me that they would not be able to perform a root canal on my front tooth due to calcification of the root, I went to Dr. Rafla. Dr. Rafla used the Cone Beam x-ray to determine that there was a very small root canal left and she accepted me as a patient. Dr. Rafla was not only able to find my canal, a feat which seemed near impossible, she did it without any pain and in under an hour. I could not be more thrilled with the results. Thank you to Dr. Rafla for a job well done!

Let's put it this way, I looked like a bum after a skate session gone wrong. Front tooth was messed up. I came in looking for a root canal in prep for a crown. They went out of their way to give me a smile back. Still need a crown but they worked so hard to help me out made my tooth look quite normal. I appreciate them big time. 10/10 would recommend. Nice office too, with a view.

Dr. Basseghi and the staff were amazing! Made me feel comfortable and at ease about the procedure. I have had several root canals and this was the best pain free experience by far! Thank you

Dr Yasmine Basseghi was great. Very knowledgeable and provided me with a pain free root canal. I was experiencing a lot of pain before the procedure and she immediately took me in on an emergency call and took care of my tooth. The entire staff was awesome. 10/10 highly recommended for a pain free root canal. Thank you for everything Dr Yasmine Basseghi and staff.

A big thank you to all at Endodontic Associates. You responded to my request for a check up within 2 hours. I had an appointment 2 days later. My definitely best dental experience ever! Speaking as a reluctant dental patient, I appreciate the calm, relaxing surroundings and your professional approach. I will recommend you to friends.

I imagine that it's rare for someone to actually feel like they had a good experience leaving a root canal, but for someone who has had a root canal performed before, I can safely say that Dr Marta Orrego Rafla and her staff are a safe choice to have your procedure performed. I was referred by my current dentist after looking at a tooth with a heavy cavity from my filling that popped out over a year ago, and I wasn't sure what to expect from a specialist, but I'm happy i went to a specialist instead of a general dentist.

I was out of there in 90 minutes, vs my other root canal which took 2 visits totaling almost 5 hours (2 for the first visit, and 3 for the second). Even though i was referred to have my root canal done by my dentist, Dr Rafla took even more detailed x-rays and checked to make sure that a procedure was actually necessary which it definitely was. The staff explained all the charges, gave me a quote before hand, and walked me through each step before getting started to make me feel comfortable. I got a call the next day to check up on how i was feeling, which was unexpected. Overall a very good experience, given the circumstances.
