Endodontists are dental specialists with specialized training beyond dental school. An endodontic residency is 2-3 years of additional training andallows a practitioner to learn every facet of providing exceptional care.
On average, endodontists perform nearly 25 root canal treatments a week, while general dentists perform less than two. In fact, Dr. Eliot has performed well over 8,000 endodontic procedures! He and his team havetruly hasmastered the art of providing exceptional root canal therapy.
Because they limit their practice solely to endodontic treatment, endodontists are efficient and precise. We have all heard horror stories of root canals taking 2, 3, or 4 + hours. We stay with you during the treatment, dont bounce around from room to room, and make sure it is done quickly, painlessly, and most importantly well. This equates to positive experiences and faster healing.
Most endodontists offer tremendous flexibility in accommodating emergency cases, so delays in treatment are kept to a minimum and patients can be relieved of dental pain quickly. We have relationships established with great referring offices; if an excellent referring office asks us to see an emergency patient, we usually see them the same day or very next day.
We use state-of-the-art technology such as operating microscopes with high definition cameras, 3D digital imaging, electronic apex locators, ultrasonic instrumentation and fiber optics to treat patients quickly and comfortably.
