Endodontic Treatment
Our expert multi-specialty team prioritizes saving your natural tooth through advanced endodontic care. We specialize in relieving pain, removing infection, and restoring tooth strength, all while ensuring your comfort. From routine root canals to complex retreatments, we aim to make your experience smooth and stress-free.
Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a gentle yet effective procedure designed to alleviate pain and preserve your natural tooth. This treatment involves removing inflamed or infected pulp from inside the tooth, disinfecting the area, and then sealing it to prevent further issues. The outcome is a healthy, pain-free smile that lasts.
Root Canal Retreatment
In case a tooth that has already received treatment becomes painful again, retreatment may be necessary. Our Gaithersburg endodontist will meticulously extract the original filling, cleanse the canals, and reseal the tooth to address any remaining infection or structural concerns. This approach provides your natural tooth with a renewed opportunity for sustained health.
Apicoectomy
A Gaithersburg endodontic surgery (apicoectomy), or root-end surgery, can be a highly effective solution when a standard root canal isn’t sufficient to address persistent infections. This minor surgical procedure involves removing the very tip of the tooth’s root and any surrounding infected tissue. The area is then sealed to promote healing, which is a crucial step in saving a tooth that might otherwise be lost.

Frequently asked questions about endodontics
What is a root canal?
During the procedure, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed, and the canal system is meticulously cleaned, disinfected, filled, and sealed to protect the tooth. Following your root canal, our in-house experts will provide a custom dental crown or other permanent restoration. We’ll fully seal and protect your tooth, restoring its function and appearance, all conveniently under one roof.
Do I need a root canal?
You might need a root canal if you experience:
- Stubborn tooth pain
- Deep cavities or extensive decay
- Cracked or fractured teeth
- Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
- Trauma leading to tooth discoloration
Any of these issues can cause pulp inflammation or infection. It’s critical to treat this as soon as possible to prevent worsening pain, abscesses, or even tooth loss. Get in touch for a personalized consultation and expert care.
Is endodontic treatment safe?
What is an apicoectomy, and when is it needed?
When a traditional root canal isn’t enough to fully eliminate an infection, an apicoectomy, also known as root-end surgery, may be necessary. This specialized microsurgical procedure involves our expert endodontist gently removing the tip of the tooth’s root and the surrounding inflamed or infected tissue. The end of the root is then sealed to promote healing. Often the last step in saving a tooth, this treatment can prevent the need for extraction.
Can a root canal be redone if it fails?
