They also employ CBCT scans for higher accuracy in diagnosing root canal issues and identifying conditions like root fractures that might be missed with conventional X-rays. Patient testimonials frequently praise Dr. Ceresa and his staff for their excellent care, informative approach, and the comfortable, virtually painless experience they provide, even for procedures like root canals. The clinic aims to dispel fears associated with endodontic treatments. Dr. Ceresa, a native of Peru, Illinois, is actively involved in the community and enjoys exercise, traveling, and competing in Obstacle Course Races (OCR) in his free time.

Dr. Ceresa cares deeply for his patients. When I was told I needed a root canal and was given 2 options of endodontist in the area, I didn't hesitate to go to Dr. Ceresa as he had previously performed a root canal on me 10 years ago.

He had left such a good impression on me and gave me a positive memory. He explained the procedure and put me at ease from start to finish. All of the staff went above and beyond to put me at ease. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Dr. Lee Ceresa. He and his staff are so warm, personable, and friendly - as if they know you personally. If you want a pleasant root canal experience, choose Dr. Ceresa! I did not experience any pain at all during the procedure and Dr. Ceresa explains in nice detail what takes place. My fear of ever needing another root canal is gone!

I have some past trauma with going to the dentist and very bad anxiety. So being told I needed a root canal was terrifying. However this procedure was one of the easiest I ha r ever experienced. Everyone was absolutely amazing.

They will talk you through things and make sure you understand what's going on. During the procedure they would periodically check in on me and do whatever they could to make me comfortable. The numbing was done so well I didn't even feel anything at all! If you ever need a root canal this is the place to go. Everyone is extremely kind and is great at their jobs!

As a child I had a nightmare root canal that was extremely painful and was terrified when I found I needed to get two more now as an adult. Dr. Ceresa and his team were all kind, skilled, and professional. He made absolutely sure I was fully numb before going to work and constantly checked on me throughout both procedures.

I also have a bad gag reflex which can be annoying to some providers, but the team here rolled with it and gave me space to reset when needed. Have already recommended his office to several providers that I work with if they need to have endodontic work done as I was able to go right back to work with no pain immediately following both root canals.
