5 Best Endodontists in Los Angeles (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Elara Kestrel, Health and Medical Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

Nobody goes looking for a root canal for fun, and the fear of the procedure is often worse than the procedure itself. The endodontists on this page have logged over 1,500 Google reviews between them in Los Angeles, and every single one sits at 4.9 or 5.0 stars, so the real decision here comes down to location and what specifically brought you in, not who is competent.

Short answer: Glendale Endodontics and Microsurgery leads with a perfect 5.0 stars across 353 reviews, the most of any name on this page, run by Dr. David Abdelmalak. West LA Endodontics and Purity Endodontics are close behind at 5.0 and 4.9 respectively. Several practices here, including Joshua Yadegar's Century City office, mention same-day emergency availability for sudden tooth pain.

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Every number on this page is pulled from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the practice’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many patients have actually left a rating, measured against the other endodontists on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 built on hundreds of reviews carries more certainty than one built on a smaller base. Recency reflects how recently patients are still leaving reviews. No practice can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a root canal cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

Root canal and endodontic pricing depends heavily on which tooth is involved, whether it’s a first treatment or a retreatment, and your insurance coverage. None of the practices on this page publish a specific price list we can cite, and one reviewer mentioned a prior quote elsewhere running roughly four times higher than what they ultimately paid at Purity, which shows how much quotes can vary. Always get a written estimate before treatment.

Serving all of Los Angeles

The endodontists above cover Los Angeles broadly, with practices in Glendale, West LA, Koreatown, and Century City. Searching for an endodontist near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number so you can check availability and whether they take your insurance or referral fast.

What to ask before you book an endodontist

  • Is this a first root canal or a retreatment of a previously treated tooth?
  • What imaging technology do you use to diagnose the problem?
  • Do you offer same-day appointments for urgent tooth pain?
  • What is the total cost, and does that include a follow-up visit if needed?
  • Do you accept my dental insurance or referral program?
  • What is the expected recovery time after the procedure?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these endodontists?

We started from every endodontist in Los Angeles with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

What does an endodontist do that a general dentist doesn’t?

An endodontist specializes in the inside of the tooth, mainly root canal therapy, retreatments, and apicoectomy surgery. General dentists often refer patients to an endodontist for these procedures, as several practices on this list mention handling referral cases.

Are root canals actually painful?

Reviewers across every practice on this page consistently describe the procedure as far less painful than expected, with several mentioning they felt little to nothing during treatment. Modern anesthesia and technique have changed this significantly from its reputation.

Can I get a same-day appointment for a painful tooth?

Several practices here, including Glendale Endodontics, Los Angeles Center For Endodontics, and Joshua Yadegar’s Century City office, mention same-day or emergency appointments in their reviews. Call ahead to confirm availability.

The bottom line

Glendale Endodontics and Microsurgery is the safest default on sheer volume and a perfect rating, while West LA Endodontics and Purity Endodontics are just as strongly reviewed for patients closer to those neighborhoods. If the pain can’t wait until morning, Joshua Yadegar’s Century City practice is built for exactly that.
