Endodontics P.C.

Endodontics P.C., also known as Endo PC, is a well-established endodontic practice that has been dedicated to serving the Greater Des Moines and central Iowa area since its inception in 1974. This specialized clinic focuses entirely on endodontic care, which is the branch of dentistry concerned with the study and treatment of the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of a tooth. Their primary mission is to diagnose and alleviate tooth pain, and perform procedures aimed at saving natural teeth, most notably root canal treatments. Endodontics P.C. operates across multiple convenient locations, including Ankeny (1201 SW State St Suite 104), West Des Moines, and Waukee, ensuring accessibility for a wide range of patients. The practice distinguishes itself through a team approach, comprising several highly qualified endodontists who are specialist members of the American Association of Endodontists. These specialists, including Dr. Jeffrey Lilly, Dr. Thomas Becker, Dr. Gary Matt, Dr. Lindsey Meder, and Dr. Benjamin Nashleanas, have completed an additional two or more years of specialized training beyond dental school, making them experts in their field. The services offered by Endodontics P.C. include comprehensive endodontic procedures such as initial root canal therapy, endodontic retreatment for teeth that have not healed properly or developed new issues, and various forms of endodontic surgery, including apicoectomy (root-end resection). They emphasize the use of advanced technology, such as digital imaging and 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), to ensure precise diagnosis and effective treatment. Patient comfort and quality care are central to their philosophy. They strive to provide unsurpassed quality in a compassionate environment, prioritizing the patient's individual needs. By limiting their practice solely to endodontic treatment, they maintain efficiency and precision, leading to positive patient experiences and faster healing. Referrals from general dentists are common, as Endodontics P.C. collaborates closely with referring dentists to coordinate the finest endodontic care possible, with the ultimate goal of preserving natural teeth. They also offer emergency-based services, highlighting their commitment to saving teeth in urgent situations.
