Detailed Introduction

Dr. Charles Clarke - Advanced Endodontics is a premier endodontic practice serving the South County and Festus areas of St. Louis, Missouri. The clinic is spearheaded by Dr. Charles Clarke, a highly experienced and Board Certified Endodontist with over 35 years in the field. He graduated from the University of Toronto / Faculty of Dentistry in 1985 and holds the highest level of recognition in his specialty, being the only Board Certified Endodontist in the region. The practice is dedicated to providing comprehensive endodontic care, focusing on treatments to alleviate dental pain, infection, and disease, and to save teeth that might otherwise be lost. Their core services include root canal therapy, endodontic retreatment, endodontic surgery (such as apicoectomies), and emergency dental care for issues like toothaches, dental abscesses, and cracked teeth. Dr. Clarke and his team utilize state-of-the-art technology to ensure the highest quality of care and patient comfort. This includes 3D imaging (Cone Beam 3D Imaging/CBCT) for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, and Zeiss Surgical Microscopes for enhanced vision during procedures, which contributes to more precise and faster treatments. They also employ specialized tools like the "Wand" syringe for comfortable anesthesia delivery and offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for anxious patients. For patient convenience, TVs are installed on the ceiling with headphones during treatment. The clinic prides itself on a patient-focused approach, aiming to make the root canal experience as comfortable and pain-free as possible. Patients consistently praise the compassionate and professional staff, as well as Dr. Clarke's gentle technique, clear explanations, and ability to make patients feel at ease, even during complex procedures. The practice is known for its efficiency, often completing procedures in a single appointment, typically within 45 minutes, and accommodating emergency appointments promptly.

My husband had a root canal done today by Dr Clarke. He was able to get an appointment quickly. The staff are fantastic, helpful and very upbeat. My husband said the only thing he felt was the first shot. Dr Clarke was very comforting, gentle and reassuring. Procedure took less time than I thought it would. If he would need another root canal he would certainly return to Dr Clarke.

Dr. Clarke’s office is amazing. I have seen him twice and both times were great. I am terrified of root canals and other dental procedures, but they make the process easy and as calming as a dental procedure can be. From the office staff, to the assistants, and especially Dr.

Clark, they go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. He explains every step of the process and makes sure you are good throughout the procedure. I would not go anywhere else but Dr. Clarke’s for a root canal.

The best experience I’ve ever had with dental work. Dr. Clarke and his entire staff far exceeded my expectations. They explained everything thoroughly and answered all of my questions.

I have extreme dental anxiety and had absolutely zero pain during the entire procedure. The nitrous calmed my nerves so much that the procedure flew by and I was shocked that it could have been over so quickly. Highly recommend! Thank you to the entire team for such a great experience.

Dr. Clark attempted to do a root canal on me when I could still feel pain. I was not fully numb and he appeared irritated that I was crying and complaining of pain. It was horrific! Never offered an option to stop. Said if we didn’t finish I would be in pain later. He chose to try to make me feel like I had no choice. Who would try to continue a root canal when the patient is not fully numb? I couldn’t take it anymore and told him to stop.

He told me if we could get to the root, he could numb me directly on the root. Why would I want him to get to my root while I can still feel it?? No thanks! He was condescending and rude. How awful to violate someone’s trust and leave them so vulnerable and in pain in your care. The tooth had to be pulled and he likely knew that after viewing my images. He even said the root canal may not work but proceeded anyway. At the time I wasn’t knowledgeable enough to understand what was happening. He wanted the $$ and was willing to torture me to get it.

I ran out crying and traumatized. Had to go to an experienced oral surgeon for care. Be very careful with this one. Profits over patients.
