What Is an Endodontist?
Endodontics is a specialty area of dentistry that treats diseases and injuries of the soft tissues inside a tooth.
An endodontist's education involves at least two years of additional specialty training beyond dental school. All endodontists are dentists; however, less than three percent of dentists have earned the distinction of being called endodontists.
What Services Does an Endodontist Provide?
You may also hear an endodontist called a root canal specialist. While general dentists can perform root canals, at Curtis Endodontics, all focus exclusively on endodontic treatment.
The benefit of choosing a specialist is that they have devoted their career to this specific area of dentistry, which translates to a higher level of expertise and experience when performing such services as:
- Root canal treatment
- Root canal retreatment
- Endodontic microsurgery (apicoectomy)
- Resorption treatment
- Dental trauma management
- Cracked teeth treatment
At Curtis Endodontics, we use highly-specialized technology that most general dentists do not. This ensures that your treatment is comfortable and efficient. We believe this results in the highest potential for long-term success.
Comfortable, Stress-Free Root Canal Treatment
It's no surprise that people feel anxious about having a root canal, considering all the myths and stories they've heard. The fact is that root canal treatment has a high success rate and very often eliminates tooth pain. In many cases, it is also the only treatment that can save a natural tooth.
Even so, we understand that fear around the procedure is real. So, we do everything we can to demystify the process and help our patients understand that it may not be as complex as they might believe.
Drs. Darrell and Shane Curtis are very kind and easygoing and want you to have a comfortable experience. They review your 3-D cone beam ct scans with you while carefully explaining the proposed treatment, so you understand what it involves. They also provide you with alternative treatment options, so you are fully informed before you make a decision.
We Look forward to Serving You!
Whether your general dentist refers you for treatment or you come to us directly, you can expect a comfortable experience and genuine concern for your needs.
We look forward to meeting you and helping you regain your healthy smile. If you have questions or concerns, please call us at (717) 550-4040, and we will be happy to assist you.
