Finger Lakes Endodontics

Finger Lakes Endodontics is a dental practice specifically dedicated to providing specialized endodontic care. With locations in Ithaca and Elmira, New York, the clinic is led by respected endodontic specialists, Dr. Karpinski and Dr. Serebro, alongside an experienced endodontic staff. As specialist members of the American Association of Endodontists, they adhere to the highest standards of professional care. Their primary focus is on saving natural teeth and preventing the need for dental implants or bridges through a range of endodontic procedures. These services include, but are not limited to, Root Canal treatments, endodontic retreatment (for previously treated teeth that haven't healed or have developed new problems), and the management of Cracked Teeth and traumatic dental injuries. They also offer endodontic (root canal) surgery, such as Apicoectomy, to address issues like fractures or hidden canals not visible on standard X-rays, or to treat damaged root surfaces and surrounding bone. Finger Lakes Endodontics emphasizes a patient-centered approach, providing care in a friendly and comfortable environment. They are committed to transparency, offering up-front cost information and assisting with dental insurance claims. The clinic utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and advanced technologies, including digital radiography (which reduces radiation levels by up to 90% compared to conventional X-rays) and operating microscopes with fiber optic illumination for enhanced visibility during procedures. They also prioritize infection control, adhering to rigorous standards set by OSHA, the Centers for Disease Control, and the American Dental Association. For patients with dental anxiety, they offer clear communication about treatments and discuss dental sedation options. Their goal is to provide unsurpassed quality in a compassionate environment of professionalism and clinical excellence, aiming to exceed patient expectations.
