Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with diseases of the dental pulp and the surrounding tissues of the root. 

Endodontists are specially trained to restore health and thereby save your teeth in a functional situation.   The alternative treatment would be extraction of the diseased tooth.

Most of our procedures take approximately one and a half hours.  Some procedures can be completed in one appointment while others require a follow-up appointment.  Each case is unique and we base our treatment plan on the most appropriate procedure(s) for your long-term dental health.

Our role as specialists is to treat you for your endodontic needs and to refer you back to your dentist.  Even though we will relieve you of your discomfort, your treatment is not complete until you return to your dentist for any necessary restorative treatment.

For more information about our services, please see the Links page that will allow you to link to the website of the American Association of Endodontics.  There you will find general information on root canal treatment as well as information on endodontic retreatment and surgery.
