​Our root canal specialists are dedicated to providing exceptional endodontics in a compassionate and caring environment. We understand the word "root canal" can cause fear and anxiety. At our office, we strive to provide gentle, comfortable care tailored to your needs. Using the latest technology, we are committed to providing high-quality diagnosis and treatment through digital x-rays, surgical microscope and 3D Cone-Beam CT imaging. With these tools, we can perform advanced endodontics and surgical procedures to help you save your teeth. ​

IV, Oral & Nitrous Sedation

Dental anxiety or phobia is a very real challenge for many patients. Often negative past experiences, severe gag reflexes, or fear of needles and drills can hold a person back from seeking treatment. Our root canal specialists can work with your specific needs to overcome your anxiety and complete treatment. Prior to treatment, a thorough evaluation is performed to assess your treatment needs and provide comfortable care with either IV, Oral or Nitrous sedation as needed. Please inquire when scheduling your appointment.

​Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment)

​Our primary goal is to save your natural teeth whenever possible. Endodontics is the specialized treatment of the pulp and surrounding tissues. A root canal treatment cleans and fills the pulp canal system to save your tooth. 

​Retreatment

​Occasionally, a tooth that was treated months or years ago may fail to heal or continue to have pain. In these cases, you may have another chance to save the tooth with a second endodontic procedure called a retreatment.

​Endodontic Microsurgery

​In some cases, it may be necessary to surgically remove the infected root tips and nearby tissue to treat the infection. This procedure is called an apical surgery or apicoectomy. The affected root tip is resected and sealed and the infection is cleaned. Sutures are removed about 1 week later. Most patients will have some minor swelling and occasional bruising with some numbness in the first few weeks. 

​Cracked Teeth

​Signs of a cracked tooth can include pain when chewing, temperature sensitivity or pressure sensitivity. The pain often comes and goes which can be difficult to identify the problem. With chronic irritation overtime, the tooth pulp will become damaged sometimes leading to increasing pain and spreading infection into the surrounding gum and bone. 

​Dental Trauma

Dental injuries such as a fracture, displacement or knocking a tooth out often require observation and treatment by an endodontist to save the tooth. Getting a root canal specialist on board from the beginning can improve the chances of saving your tooth as dental injuries require prompt specific treatment depending on the severity such as splinting, medication, root canal treatment, or other procedures. Careful monitoring of the traumatized tooth is needed to ensure healing occurs as expected.
