Why Choose an Endodontist

Reason 1: Experience

Endondontists typically complete a 2-3 yr specialty residency after graduating dental school with a masters degree and/or certificate to become licensed as a specialist. On average, endodontists perform nearly 30 root canal treatments a week, while general dentists perform less than two.

Reason 2: Efficiency

Because they limit their practice solely to endodontic treatment, endodontists are efficient and precise. This equates to positive experiences and faster healing.

Reason 3: Availability

Most endodontists offer tremendous flexibility in accommodating emergency cases, so delays in treatment are kept to a minimum and patients can be relieved of dental pain quickly.

Reason 4: Advanced Technology

Many endodontists use state-of-the-art technology such as operating microscopes, CBCT (cone beam computed tomography), digital imaging, ultrasonic instrumentation and fiber optics, to treat their patients quickly and comfortably.

Today, getting root canal treatment is often no more uncomfortable than having a filling.
