Procedures
Our office is dedicated to preserving your natural teeth. Our expertly trained staff have specialized in the field of endodontics. Endodontic procedures include root canal treatment, root canal re-treatment, and root end surgery.
We are also involved with vital pulp treatments, bleaching, extraction/re-implantation and regenerative procedures.
Diagnosis
Signs that you may need a Root Canal include: pain, swelling, a "gumboil" (pimple of the gums), difficulty chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold foods/drinks, discolored, cracked or broken teeth.

As much as we love doing Root Canals, we only want to do the ones that need them.
