Dr. Antonio Bertos completed his dental training in Madrid, Spain, where he received a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (B.D.S.) degree in 2005. Previously, from 2003 through 2006, he attended Dr. Maria del Carmen Navarro (Odontopediatric dentist) and Rafael Miana (Endodontist) private practice, in Madrid Spain, for Clinical Observation and Assistance. After he practiced general dentistry for one year, his mentor, Dr. Rafael Miana, one of the founders of the Spanish Association of Endodontics, realized how passionate Dr. Berto was about Endodontics, and encouraged him to continue his education in endodontics in the United States. In 2006 Dr. Berto became a Fellow in the Department of Endodontics Texas A&M Health Science Center Baylor College of Dentistry. He continued his studies at BCD and in 2009 he was awarded a Certificate in Endodontics. His research on Physical and Chemical Properties of New-generation Endodontic Materials received a grant from the American Association of Endodontics and was presented in Orlando at the Annual meeting of the American Association of Endodontics and also in the DFW Metroplex Endodontic Society. Dr. Bertos research was published in the Journal of Endodontics, published by the American Association of Endodontics. He also authored multiple articles in professional journals and publications, and has lecture both nationally and internationally. His research interest is in the area of anatomy of root canal system, dental traumatology and dental and pulp regeneration. Dr. Berto has won multiple international awards, the most recent ones the Rodriguez Carvajal for the best clinical case published in the Spanish Association of Endodontics official Journal in 2013, and in 2014 he was awarded the first place on Gutta-core Challenge, for the best clinical case. Dr. Berto is Board eligible of the American Board of Endodontics since 2009 and one of his goals is to become a Diplomate.

Dr. Berto is married to Michelle and has a son Antonio and a daughter Ana.
The field of endondontics is constantly evolving, with new technologies becoming increasingly available. Advanced endondontic technology leads to more accurate diagnosis and a more thorough treatment. Some equipment even allows patients to become more involved in the examination and treatment planning process by providing in-depth views into the source of oral diseases and complications.
CT scans have long been associated with traditional medicine, but computerized tomography of the hard and soft tissues within the face and mouth is also beneficial in the endodontists office. With CT technology, an endodontist can take acquire imaging from multiple viewing angles for a better understanding of how a particular patients tissues are interconnected.
Digital radiography, or digital x-rays, carries much lower radiation levels than their traditional counterparts. Furthermore, digital radiography eliminates the need for film, as all images are loaded directly onto a computer screen for the endodontist and patient to view. The images are saved into a digital patient file for easy reference or office-to-office transfers.
The WAND is transforming patient comfort treatment experiences with advanced computer-regulated anesthesia. Patients generally experience less anxiety in offices using WAND technology, and they experience very little to no discomfort during the anesthetizing process. The WAND delivers a consistent flow of anesthetic to the gums with managed volumes designed to prevent discomfort.
Microscopes have long provided glimpses of that which is not normally seen by the human eye. In the endodontic field of dentistry, magnification of diseased areas of the teeth and gums is an advantage not previously available to dentists and patients.
For an endodontist, the apex locator is one of the most invaluable technological advances available. The apex locator uses electrical currents to help identify to location of a tooths apical foramen with as much as 80 to 90 percent accuracy. This allows an endodontist to better determine how long the root canal space will be prior to treatment.
Ultrasound uses sound waves to provide imagery of the bodys tissues at varying depths. However, endodontists can now use hand-held ultrasound technology, in which powerful ultrasonic waves are used to not only detect the surface locations of canals, but also to prepare the tooth root for a retrograde filling and to removed composite resins, calcified canals, and posts. Use of endodontic ultrasound has been prevalent for many decades, but only recently has it become useful for endo-restorative and microrestorative work.

The exam rooms were very clean and I was very comfortable thru the entire root canal procedure with Kara and Dr. Witherspoon. Very friendly office staff.

Called to make an appointment for an extremely sore tooth ache and they got me in the same day! I was very impressed with Dr. Regan, who spent a lot of time answering all of my questions, explaining what was wrong with the tooth, and how a root canal would be the best choice of treatment. Dr. Regan and his assistant were very friendly and put any fears I had to rest. 24 hrs after the root canal, my tooth was actually pain free. I would definitely come here again for a root canal and request to see Dr. Regan.

Unforftunately I have needed several root canal proceedures. Dr. Witherspoon is fully equipped with the skills and the tech - when I leave his chair, I always hurt LESS than when I arrived.

From the first day of my consultation with Dr. Regan made me feel completely at ease, that I was in excellent hands assuring me the results of my Root Canal will be successful, and not painful at all! I was impressed by his dental assistant Kelly, who was very kind, and most professional,, as well as the front desk associates!

Dr. Sivie referred me to North Texas Endodontic Associates. Although a root canal was not on my list of things to do that day, I had a great experience there with Dr Regan and his assistant. She explained all the steps they would take to determine the necessary treatment. Unfortunately that meant the root canal but Dr Regan calmed my fears and did a great job. Dr Regan has a great bedside manner and sense of humor which helped to lighten the mood during the procedure. High tech imagery was used before and during the procedure to determine exactly what needed to be done and where. Dr Regan, his assistant and the front office staff were all very nice and friendly. I definitely recommend Dr Regan and this office if in need of their services.

Called late in an afternoon with jaw pain. They had me in for an appointment within the hour. They quickly diagnosed me and were able to complete the procedure during that appointment. So grateful! Dr. Witherspoon and Kelly were informative and efficient. They were even able to save my brand new crown! The front office was pleasant and very welcoming. They were very clear about the cost of my procedure and what I can expect from my insurance. Would 100% recommend!

I had a root canal performed by Dr. Berto and Tylan (I'm probably spelling his name wrong but he was awesome). They took their time explaining exactly what was to be done and what I could expect - even going to great lengths to make sure I was adequately numb, which I appreciated due to a mild bout of dental anxiety. The procedure was painless, the post-procedure care instructions were clear, and the remainder of the staff are considerate and polite. Great experience overall, highly recommend having dental work done here.

I'm here today for my third root canal. This is a great business for dental work. My Doctors have been top notch, professional and efficient. My last two visits have been with Dr. Berto, I like how quick and efficiently he works. No excessive chit-chat. He gets the work done and gets out of mouth, I like that. The assistants are always efficient, and nice.
