Commonwealth Endodontics

Commonwealth Endodontics is a prominent dental clinic specializing exclusively in endodontic procedures, a branch of dentistry focused on the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of a tooth. "Endo" means "inside" and "odont" means "tooth," indicating their expertise in the internal structure of teeth. The clinic operates across multiple locations in Central Virginia, including Richmond, Charlottesville, Chester, and Mechanicsville, demonstrating a broad reach and accessibility for patients. Their team comprises highly skilled endodontists who have undergone at least two to three additional years of specialized training beyond general dental school. This advanced education and concentrated practice (performing an average of 25 root canal treatments per week compared to a general dentist's two) contribute to their profound expertise and efficiency in managing complex endodontic issues. Commonwealth Endodontics is committed to utilizing state-of-the-art technology to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes. This includes advanced tools such as CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) imaging for precise 3D views of the tooth and surrounding structures, and the EdgePro LASER for minimally invasive treatments. These technologies allow for more accurate diagnoses and more comfortable, effective procedures. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of endodontic services aimed at alleviating tooth pain and preserving natural teeth. Their primary services include: Root Canal Therapy: To treat infected or inflamed dental pulp and save the tooth. Endodontic Retreatment: To address teeth that have undergone a previous root canal but are experiencing renewed pain or infection. Endodontic Microsurgery (including Apicoectomy): Surgical procedures to treat infections or issues that cannot be resolved with non-surgical methods, often involving the removal of the root tip. Treatment for Traumatic Dental Injuries: Addressing cracked teeth, avulsed (knocked-out) teeth, and other dental traumas. Sedation Endodontics: Various sedation options, including nitrous oxide and deep sedation, are available for patients with dental anxiety or those undergoing extensive procedures, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free experience. Commonwealth Endodontics prioritizes patient comfort and care, offering same-day emergency appointments for urgent cases to quickly alleviate pain. They have garnered numerous positive reviews, including being voted "Best Dentist" by Virginia Living magazine, and boast over 1500 five-star online reviews, reflecting their commitment to patient satisfaction and high-quality care. Their practice is also noted for its diverse ownership, being woman, Hispanic, and veteran-owned.
