What Is Specialty Endodontic Care

The complexity of your teeth may require more specialized treatment. This is the reason your general dentist may have referred you to our office. Your natural teeth are worth saving and nobody is more equipped for the job than our endodontists.

With two to three years of specialty training beyond dental school, endodontists are highly skilled in diagnosing and treating tooth pain. They perform various forms of root canal treatment with incredible precision. Utilizing the most advanced technologies available, we will provide you with a thorough yet efficient treatment experience.

Endodontics is a branch of dentistry concerned with treating the inside (-endo) of the tooth (-dont), specifically the pulp tissue- or dental pulp. An endodontist removes the inflamed or infected tissue, carefully cleans and shapes the inside of the root canal, then fills and seals the space to promote healing of the surrounding tooth surfaces. Endodontic treatments aim to repair teeth instead of replacing them. 

Not all tooth pain requires an endodontist. That’s why we take the time to get to know you and diagnose the underlying cause to address your primary concern. After your endodontic evaluation, our root canal specialists will recommend the best course of treatment to retain your natural tooth. 

Dental endodontic therapy and treatment procedures are performed to relieve the pain of toothaches caused by inflammation or infection. Thanks to advances in root canal treatment and anesthetics, the majority of patients do not feel the procedures and the results are extremely effective.
