Endodontic Retreatment: Addressing cases where a previously treated tooth has not healed properly or has developed new problems. Endodontic Surgery (e.g., Apicoectomy): Surgical procedures, such as root-end resections, to remove persistent infections, locate fractures, or treat hidden canals that are not visible on X-rays. Emergency Treatment: Providing prompt care for sudden and severe tooth pain, cracked teeth, and other urgent endodontic issues. Management of Traumatic Dental Injuries: Addressing injuries to teeth that may affect the pulp. The clinic emphasizes patient comfort and aims to provide a compassionate and caring environment.

Digital Radiography: Reducing radiation exposure by up to 80% compared to traditional film X-rays and providing faster, more diagnostically useful images. TDO Software: A specialized endodontic software system used for managing patient records, facilitating paperless operations, and enabling secure communication with referring dentists. Patient testimonials frequently highlight Dr. Chae's expertise, the staff's welcoming and kind demeanor, and the clinic's ability to provide comfortable and pain-free treatment experiences, even for complex procedures like root canals.
