Endodontic Surgery: Specialized surgical procedures, such as apicoectomy, which involves removing the tip of a tooth's root. Management of Dental Emergencies: Prompt treatment for severe toothaches, dental abscesses, sensitivity to hot or cold, bite sensitivity, and cracked teeth. The clinic aims to make treatment as comfortable as possible for patients, using local anesthesia to minimize pain during procedures. They also provide post-treatment care instructions and work in coordination with patients' restorative dentists for follow-up restorations like crowns. The practice welcomes insurance and offers financing options like CareCredit, aiming to make specialized endodontic care accessible.
