Dr. Tam Trinh

He takes the time to learn about your individual needs and concerns, and finds it deeply gratifying to devise a customized treatment plan personalized to address them.

Dr. Trinh has always enjoyed problem-solving and working with his hands, but it wasn’t until he attended a summer program at UC San Francisco that he became interested in a career in dentistry.

I Need a Root Canal

Do you have a severe toothache or a tooth that may be infected? Root canal treatment may be the right solution. This treatment involves creating a small opening in the enamel to remove bacteria and the infected areas of the teeth. Then, our endodontic team near Wheeling will clean, fill, and seal the tooth closed. We will likely also place a dental crown for additional protection. By treating your tooth with a root canal now, you may be able to prevent an extraction later on!

I've Had a Root Canal, But Need a Re-Treatment

Most of the time, root canal treatment is a success and lasts for a lifetime! However, on occasion, the tooth may require retreatment. This sometimes happens if the dental crown wasn’t placed soon enough, your tooth sustained additional damage, or your oral hygiene hasn’t been consistent. If you think your treatment tooth may need to be looked at, our Wheeling team can help!

I Am Nervous/Scared of the Dentist

Does the thought of going to the endodontist near Wheeling make you feel anxious? We know that dental anxiety is very common – especially for those needing root canal treatment. That’s why we offer sedation options to help our patients feel more at ease during their appointments. We offer nitrous oxide sedation, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation depending on your level of anxiety.

I Am in Pain & Need Help

Dental emergencies can happen out of the blue or as a result of an unresolved dental issue that has worsened over time. If you have a painful toothache, we’d be happy to help. We offer same-day emergency dental appointments, so you don’t need to wait to get some relief! Just give us a call so we can get to the root of the problem.

We Welcome Dental Insurance

Although it can be difficult to locate a dental specialist who welcomes your dental insurance, at MeTa Endodontics, we do things a little differently! We not only welcome many major dental insurance plans, but we’re also in-network with some of the most popular providers, including Delta Dental, Aetna, Humana, MetLife, BlueCross BlueShield, and more. To see if your plan is included, or to verify your coverage, contact our friendly dental insurance team for more information!

We Happily Accept Flexible Financing

For patients who would prefer to break up the cost of their treatment into multiple, low-to-no-interest monthly payments, we are pleased to welcome payment plans through two trusted third-party lenders, CareCredit and Cherry. Participating in these plans can be the difference between getting urgent endodontic care now or having to wait until the problem has gotten worse, which can ultimately increase the total.
