WHY AN ENDODONTIST?
An endodontist is a dentist who has undergone a minimum of 24 months of additional specialty training after dental school. This training is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of the root canal system and the supporting structures of teeth. An endodontist deals exclusively with the root canal system. This specialization allows the highest level of care possible.
In residency, an aspiring endodontist learns the latest techniques in root canal diagnosis and treatment. An endodontist has undergone this training to develop the skills necessary to treat even the most difficult cases.
Our endodontists utilize a dental operating microscope for every tooth they treat. This allows them to see fine detail inside the tooth. With the image magnified up to 20x by the microscope, extra canals and roots can be located and treated. In addition, decay and cracks under crowns or inside teeth can be diagnosed and effectively managed.
There are many reasons your dentist may refer you to one of our endodontists. We focus solely on performing root canals and related procedures inside your teeth. Our endodontists are partners with your dentist. They work together to relieve your pain or swelling, save your teeth, and restore and happy, healthy smile.
