Board-Certified Endodontist
A Richland High School alumnus, Dr. Nikhil Malhan brings advanced endodontic expertise back to the Tri-Cities. After earning his DMD from Boston University and a master's in Endodontics from the University of the Pacific, he became board-certified with a focus on microsurgical techniques and restorative preservation.
Known for his precision and calm chairside manner, Dr. Malhan collaborates closely with general dentists to deliver patient-centered care. He teaches at the University of Washington, will join Pacific Northwest University's faculty in 2026, and leads surgical training in Guatemala.
Two-dimensional dental X-rays cannot show everything happening inside a tooth or the surrounding bone. Tri-City Endodontics uses cone beam CT imaging in selected cases to identify missed canals, fractures, and lesions that conventional radiographs cannot reliably detect
Much of the anatomy inside a tooth is too small to see without high magnification. Tri-City Endodontics performs root canal therapy, retreatment, and surgery under a dental operating microscope, locating missed canals, cracks, and other features that determine whether a tooth heals
A tooth with an underdeveloped root and a dead pulp poses a problem conventional root canal treatment cannot fully solve. Tri-City Endodontics performs regenerative endodontic therapy in selected immature permanent teeth to support continued root development and preserve the long-term prognosis of the natural tooth
A pulp exposure does not always mean a tooth needs a root canal. Tri-City Endodontics performs pulp capping and pulpotomy to preserve the living pulp when decay or trauma is caught early, giving the tooth a chance to remain vital rather than requiring full canal treatment
A knocked-out or displaced tooth has the best chance of survival when treated within the first hour. Tri-City Endodontics accepts urgent trauma referrals and provides the long-term follow-up needed to monitor the pulp and supporting tissues as the injured tooth heals
A cracked tooth can produce sharp pain on biting long before the crack is visible. Tri-City Endodontics diagnoses the crack pattern with magnification and three-dimensional imaging, then recommends the treatment most likely to preserve the natural tooth
Some infections at the root tip persist even after a root canal has been completed. Tri-City Endodontics performs apicoectomy under a surgical microscope to remove the infected root tip and seal the canal end, preserving the natural tooth when conventional retreatment is not the right path
A root canal that has healed for years can still develop new trouble. Tri-City Endodontics performs retreatment to address missed canals, recurrent infection, and complex anatomy, giving a previously treated tooth a second chance before extraction is considered
Severe tooth pain rarely resolves on its own. Tri-City Endodontics reserves same-day appointments for urgent cases, identifying the source of pain and relieving pressure quickly so the natural tooth has the best chance of being saved
Pain inside a tooth signals infection or inflammation that will not resolve on its own. Tri-City Endodontics performs root canal therapy to remove diseased pulp, disinfect the canal system, and seal the tooth, allowing it to remain in function rather than being extracted
As a dedicated endodontic specialty practice, we combine advanced microsurgical technology with a calm, patient-first environment so you can save your natural tooth with confidence and comfort.

"100% recommend Dr Nikhil Malhan. He did amazing work on my 14yr old sons root canal on his right front tooth. I took him in as an emergency as my son woke up with a swollen upper lip that made his face look all swollen almost closing his eyes. Hansen Family Dental gave me 3 endodontics referral I called all three and just by the voice and beautiful spirit of the front desk lady who answered all my questions patiently from Tri City Endodontics I decided to take him there. What a beautiful vibe of that young lady. To top it off the most amazing endodontics doctor and team took such good care of my son and made my sons day! My 14 yr old gave Dr. Malhan the biggest hug for his caring attention to him. My son is so happy with no pain and a beautiful smile. When my son was 2yrs old he was playing rough and knocked out his tooth, he was toothless until his permanent tooth came in. At 7yrs old my again fearless daring gorgeous son riding his bike fell and chipped half of his tooth. Long story short took him in and they filled it in and made his tooth kind normal length. The filling was a more yellowish shade than his and was longer than his other front tooth. Anyways 7 yrs later my son’s same tooth gets infected from the trauma of it being knocked out at such an early age as it wasn’t fully developed and began getting a bit darker and had some bone loss which created an infection. Dr Malhan with such gentle good care drill that infection out and filled it in saving his tooth and also made it white and same size as his other tooth. My son walked out of there so happy and grateful he had to give him a big hug and of course I was a mess crying of joy for Dr Malhan’s and his dental assistants professional help. We have definitely found a great practice for all our future needs. Let me just tell you this office, it’s different, he is his own practice not a governed place and you definitely feel the difference in care. From the front office employee to his dental assistants and of course best doctor care. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One hundred starts for me."

"I rarely write a review but this experience was incredible. I read all the reviews and I was impressed with all the positive comments for Tri City Endodontics. I called on a Friday afternoon with a pretty bad toothache, just hoping to get in sometime the following week. But they didn’t want me to suffer over the weekend so Dr Malhan insisted on staying late to do my procedure. All the reviews are true. He is an excellent endodontist! He was so kind and so gentle and it was indeed a painless root canal. Even the deadening shot was amazingly gentle. I hardly felt it. He explained everything he was doing and was always attentive to my comfort. Their equipment is all state of the art and all the staff are just the nicest ever! They were so friendly and accommodating. They make you feel like you are their favorite person! They even put the football game on their TV for my husband to watch while I had my procedure. It was a win for all of us. 5 stars are not enough. One week later I’m doing great! A big thank you to Dr. Malhan and your amazing team!"

"If you’ve ever had a tooth that slowly turns on you, you’ll understand my saga with back molar #2. What started years ago as a hard-to-reach cavity turned into a crown… and then (cue ominous music) the dreaded words: “You need a root canal.” And wow—tooth pain. The kind where hot coffee feels like lava, cold water feels like betrayal, and even breathing wrong makes you question all your life choices. That “tiny nerve” was apparently auditioning for a heavy metal band. After a referral from my dentist, I went to an endodontist and was genuinely shocked at the estimate: $1,100 out of pocket even with insurance. Having just paid for a crown, I had to pause and do some homework. Cost matters—but so does quality, especially when someone is drilling into your face. I called around and found other local endodontists averaging about $1,000 less, which led me to dig into reviews. That’s when I stumbled upon Tri-City Endodontics in Pasco—and I’m so glad I did. Even though they’re a newer office in the Tri-Cities, they are incredibly well-equipped, reasonably priced, and clearly invested in doing things the right way. They use state-of-the-art technology, including CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) 3D imaging and laser-assisted root canal treatment. This isn’t your old-school root canal—laser treatment uses focused light to remove infected tissue, sterilize the canal, and reach areas traditional methods can’t. Translation: less pain, less swelling, faster recovery, and potentially better long-term results. And the best part? They got me in that same afternoon. 🙌 From the moment I walked in, everything was smooth and organized. The 3D imaging was fascinating (and reassuring), and once I was in the chair, the staff talked me through every single step. They were calm, kind, and genuinely focused on making sure I was comfortable—and confident that my tooth could be saved. Dr. Nikhil Malhan, a proud graduate of Richland High School, brings both advanced expertise and a real sense of community pride to his practice. It’s clear he cares deeply not only about his patients, but about education and the future of dentistry in the Tri-Cities. Let’s be honest—no one likes a root canal. But if you have to get one, this is exactly where you want to be. Tri-City Endodontics perfectly balances cost, cutting-edge technology, and exceptional care. They turned something I’d been dreading for years into an experience that was—dare I say—not that bad. Highly recommend. Your teeth, nerves, and wallet will thank you."

"Here’s a polished, clear Google review with a warm, professional tone: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dr. Mahan is an excellent endodontist, and I would definitely recommend him. He is professional, kind, and genuinely caring, as is his entire staff. I have had a lot of dental work over the years, and this office was a refreshing change from my past experiences. If you’ve been through extensive dental procedures, you’ll truly appreciate the level of care and comfort Dr. Mahan provides."

"This place is amazing. They are kind and comforting. The staff was so friendly, knowledgeable supportive and reassuring. I don't trust many dentists, many will recommend procedures even if it's not necessary, but not Dr Malhan. He performed thorough testing combined with complete scans/x-rays of my tooth and came to the conclusion that no root canal was needed. Putting my anxiety and mistrust to a rest. I was so relieved that I cried and he wouldn’t leave the room until I was consoled. I would trust him with my teeth a hundred times over. I can not express enough how wonderful my experience was with them. Thank you to you Dr. Malhan and your wonderful staff."
