As an endodontic patient, what should I expect?

A comprehensive examination to diagnose orofacial pain and pulpal disease, and determine if the tooth is a good candidate for endodontic therapy.

Non-surgical endodontic treatment is sometimes recommended to eliminate the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed.

Under certain circumstances, microsurgery may be indicated. We are experts in performing this procedure, and utilize sophisticated equipment to ensure the best result.
