Innovative Endodontics

Innovative Endodontics is a dedicated endodontic practice serving the greater Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, with offices located in Pittsburgh and Sewickley. The practice focuses exclusively on endodontic procedures, which involve the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries of the tooth pulp, often referred to as root canal therapy, as well as endodontic surgery such as apicoectomies. The core philosophy of Innovative Endodontics is to reverse the negative stigma associated with root canal treatments by providing a comfortable and virtually painless experience. They achieve this by incorporating the most advanced and proven techniques in the field of endodontics, ensuring successful outcomes for their patients. This commitment extends to using state-of-the-art technology, including digital radiography (which significantly reduces radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays) and operating microscopes with fiber optic illumination and video capabilities. These technologies allow the endodontists to visualize tiny details within the tooth, aiding in precise diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Michael E. Lisien, DMD, is a prominent endodontist at Innovative Endodontics. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics, a prestigious voluntary achievement that signifies a deep dedication to the specialty and requires passing rigorous exams and demonstrating exceptional clinical judgment. Dr. Lisien, who received his Doctorate of Dental Medicine and Endodontic residency certification from the University of Pittsburgh, is known for his professionalism, gentle approach, and commitment to patient education. Innovative Endodontics emphasizes patient well-being, striving to make the treatment process as smooth and pleasant as possible. They provide clear explanations of procedures, address patient concerns, and ensure patients are well-informed to make the best decisions for their oral health. The practice operates with strict adherence to infection control standards advocated by OSHA, the Centers for Disease Control, and the American Dental Association, utilizing autoclave sterilization and barrier techniques to eliminate any risk of infection. They aim to save natural teeth, believing that endodontic treatment is often a less expensive and more beneficial alternative to tooth extraction, which would require further interventions like implants or bridges.
