Weve performed over 36,000 root canals since 1988. So when your dentist refers you to Endodontic Specialists, its because he or she wants you to have a pleasant experience with expert treatment and the healthiest smile possible. They want you to be treated in one visit, not multiple visits. They dont want your root canal to be slow and painful. Here, its quick and virtually pain-free. We work together as part of your dental team, making you healthy and pain-free again.
Your dentist has sent you here because he or she cares about your dental health. We work together as a team to offer whats best for you. We send back a complete report within 24 hours so your dentist knows exactly what weve done and how to maintain it. Our Web-based reporting allows referring dentists to log into our website for instant access to this information, and we also provide professional reporting via e-mail and conventional mail.
The entire team here at Endodontic Specialists is dedicated to bringing patients the benefits of every advance in technology that can offer faster, more comfortable and more effective treatment. Digital X-rays, for example, are fast and accurate, and they use just one-tenth the radiation of traditional X-rays. An operating microscope allows us to closely inspect crowns, locate cracks, repair perforations and perform intricate surgical procedures. And our expertise gives you options, like intentional tooth replantation, an advanced procedure Dr. Terry performs to repair a natural tooth and reimplant it to extend the life of your natural smile.

'Throughout my career Ive made it a priority to keep abreast of advances in technology. Any technique or equipment that can make endodontics more effective, longer-lasting or more comfortable allows me to offer patients a higher standard of care. After all, helping people is why I became an endodontist in the first place. In the end, my favorite thing is to hear my patients say Everything Ive heard about root canals is a lie.'
Dr. Terry lives in Wayne, PA, with his wife, Susan; his daughter, Caroline; his son, Henry; and his golden retriever, Scout. When hes not working, he enjoys woodworking and home renovation, as well as backpacking, horseback riding and bicycling. Originally from Los Angeles, Dr. Terry says he loves the open area of Western Montgomery County.
'I always knew I wanted to pursue a specialty career in dentistry, and I find it just as rewarding today. I like being in the business of helping people save their teeth. Even though the procedures are similar, every case is different. Thats what keeps it interesting for me nearly 25 years later. I enjoy the advances in materials and instruments that continue to make the care I provide gentler and more effective.'
Dr. Silberg is married with 3 children who all love sports. She is a true soccer mom, football mom, baseball mom and lacrosse mom. When she is not working or spending time with her children, she enjoys running, skiing, hiking and working out at the gym.
General dentists often perform endodontic treatment in their offices and refer patients to a specialist only when the case is difficult or complex. We perform these procedures all day, every day, so were usually able to do them faster and much more comfortably than a general dentist can.

I had a great experience here. Dr Terry did a touch up on my root canals. Dr Terry is very skilled and he and his team are very kind. He did a great job with my teeth and was very thorough in his explanations. Thank you Dr Terry and team.

Both Dr.Silberg and Dr.Terry are amazing! I went in for a root canal. Dr. Silberg spent over 15 mins explaining the process and answered all my questions. I was pleasantly surprised to see everything I shared with the staff while scheduling the appointment was communicated to the doctor and she came prepared to address my concerns eliminating the need to repeat myself. More importantly, she communicated with me throughout the entire procedure that really helped calm my nerves and anxiety! This practice has its sh*t together and the staff is very empathetic and helpful! I would highly recommend!

Highly recommend Dr Susan Silberg and her staff. I had a consultation today and Dr Silberg spent so much time with me, explaining everything, answering all my questions and was very understanding of my dental phobia. She took all the time I needed until we came up with a plan of action we were both comfortable with. I cannot recommend her and her kind professional staff enough. Thank you!!

I can't believe I am writing a review for a ROOT CANAL, but here we are. I had an appointment with Dr. Silberg yesterday and I must say the experience was a pleasant suprise. The office staff started the process by making me feel safe. They are going to the extra mile to protect the patients and the staff. Dr. Silberg performed the ROOT CANAL and took the time to tell me everything that was happening during the procedure. I don't remember that happening the last time I had this done. At the end she showed me the X-RAY of my tooth and what I should expect. Special shout out to the TECH who assisted, she kept checking in and making I was ok. Sorry, don't remember her name, but she was great. I even received a followup phone call this AM to make sure I was fine. WOW! I so appreciate their professionalism and care, I would highly recommend them. Thanks again!

Dr. Silberg performed two root canals for me about a month ago and she did an excellent job! She was extremely attentive during my initial consult, answered all my questions, and I just had a good feeling about her. The procedure itself was quick, relatively painless except for the novacaine, and fortunately she caught the extra root on my molar which tends to be genetic. I could not be happier with the process and how everything is healing up. Hope I never have to do it again... but if I do, I'll be going back to Dr. Silberg!

I've had 3 root canals performed by Dr Terry. The gentleman did a fantastic job on all 3. No fuss, no mess and each was completed in less than an hour. None were repeats and I've not been back since. Root Canals is what they do - all day long. I highly recommend Dr. Terry.

I cannot rave about Dr. Terry as much as he deserves. I was in the most excruciating pain of my life and the office fit me in immediately. I had part one done of root canal, then part two done a week later... never felt a thing. I'm so grateful for the infection that was found and treated. Office and staff are extremely professional, polite, and accommodating. I will recommend Dr. Terry to everyone I know.

I don't usually write reviews, but I was in yesterday (2/7/19) for a root canal with Dr. Silberg. No one looks forward to a root canal, but I can honestly say after my experience, I would not hesitate to come back to your office without reservation. I know your office performs hundreds, if not thousands of root canals a year, but I was made to feel as if my experience was the most important one. Specifically, the way Dr. Silberg took the time to explain what was happening step by step and took the time to answer any questions I had. I am also happy to report I am pain free today! Thank you, and I WILL be telling everyone I know where to go based on my treatment. Sincerely, Geoff Ball

I had excruciating pain during my root canal with Dr. Silberg. I screamed in pain it was so bad. She unapologetically described it as a "hot tooth". This is not supposed to happen. She also chit chatted with her assistant during most of the procedure. I felt she wasn't paying attention to the task at hand. Very unprofessional. I emailed Dr. Silberg and Dr. Terry about my dissatisfaction two days later and never heard back from either of them. I would definitely not recommend Dr. Silberg. Two months later I needed a second root canal on another tooth. I went to Dr Maria Concepcion in Paoli. She was excellent. Absolutely no pain and very attentive to me.

I got a root canal done here. A few months went by and my pain came back! I finally went to get it checked out when the pain became unbearable again. It was confirm that I needed to REDO the Root Canal!!!. It was so stressful and pricey to get this root canal finally done, and to realize it's not over is just so disappointing. I went to a real Clinic this time and they stated it was done poorly and did not go down to the end of the root; therefore, I had inflammation all over that area and the neighboring tooth, which also need a root canal too! SIGH.
