Our practice is limited to Endodontics. Endodontists are dentists who specialize in maintaining teeth through endodontic therapy -- procedures, involving the soft inner tissue of the teeth, called the pulp. All dentists are trained in diagnosis and endodontic therapy, however, some teeth can be especially difficult to diagnose and treat. Endodontists have received advanced training in endodontics after dental school. As specialists, they only provide endodontic treatment which may vary from routine procedures to complex surgeries. Our office has the latest specialized technology, training, and equipment in the field of endodontics.

WHAT IS A ROOT CANAL?
The hollow space inside a tooth contains soft tissue called the dental pulp. Decay, repeated dental procedures, cracks, or trauma to the mouth can cause the pulp to become irritated, inflamed or infected. When this occurs, endodontic treatment is needed. If left untreated, the result can be pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, discoloration of the tooth, swelling, or a draining pimple on the gums. During endodontic treatment (a "root canal"), the damaged or infected pulp is removed. After carefully cleaning and shaping the inside of the tooth, this space is then filled and sealed.
This simple treatment can save your natural teeth, preventing the need for extractions, and replacement of teeth with dental implants or bridges.
​
When your root canal therapy has been completed, a record of your treatment will be sent to your general dentist. You should contact his or her office for a definitive restoration shortly after completion of treatment at our office. Click here to learn more.
