Dr. Shahrzad Sarram, DDS

Most dental practices in North Seattle handle routine cleanings and fillings, but Dr. Shahrzad Sarram, DDS specializes in the kind of precision work that saves teeth from extraction. Endodontics isn’t just about root canals—it’s about diagnosing tooth pain that general dentists might refer out, treating cracked teeth, and managing dental trauma. The practice operates in a professional suite at 11011 Meridian Ave N UNIT 309, a stretch of Meridian where medical offices cluster near residential pockets. This isn’t a walk-in clinic for quick fixes; it’s where complex cases, like retreatment of failed root canals or surgery for hidden canals, get resolved.

North Seattle’s dental scene leans toward family practices, so a specialist like this fills a distinct gap. While general dentists might handle straightforward pulp issues, endodontists train for years beyond dental school to master microscopic procedures inside the tooth. That extra expertise matters when a tooth’s anatomy is unusually complex or when infection persists after initial treatment. The area around Meridian and N 110th is quiet compared to the bustle of nearby Aurora Avenue, but it’s central enough for referrals from dentists across North King County.

Logistics are simple: questions about treatment options or insurance coordination can be directed to (206) 367-5500. For first-time visitors, the unit number (309) is key—it’s not ground-floor access. A quick check of the map confirms the entrance location before heading over. Endodontic work isn’t the kind of care people plan for, but when it’s needed, the right specialist makes a difference.
