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.
