EXPERTS IN THEIR SPECIALTY

Endodontists have all of the schooling and training that a general dentist has, plus two additional years of training in the specialty of treating dental pulp problems. In their practice, they focus specifically on these issues, which means they have a lot more experience in performing procedures such as root canals. 

Whereas a traditional dentist will perform maybe 2 root canals in a week, an endodontist is performing them more routinely. You can expect an endodontist to perform about 25 root canals per week. 

A root canal is a more complex procedure which is why many dentists will refer people to endodontists if they don’t feel comfortable doing it themselves. With more experience and training performing these procedures, you can expect a higher level of quality and safety.

LESS WAITING TIME

When experiencing problems with your tooth’s pulp, you’re likely in a lot of pain and discomfort. Traditional dental practices are often booked and unable to accommodate people on short notice. While they may offer some dental emergency appointments, it’s unlikely you could be treated on the same day and may have to wait until they have an opening.

In contrast, endodontists offer more flexible appointments as they relate to root canals, microsurgeries, repairing teeth that have undergone trauma, and much more. An endodontic practice limits itself exclusively to performing these sorts of procedures, so they will be more likely to fit you in.

If you are in pain and require an emergency endodontic treatment, an endodontist will put you at the front of the line because that is their exclusive focus. General dentists perform many other procedures with a more broad scope and may not be as flexible or have enough space to fit you in.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY & SUPERIOR TECHNIQUES

Endodontists utilize cutting-edge advanced technology that produces the best results. This results in shorter recovery times and less pain following the procedure. They use advanced microscope technology which is extremely efficient at locating disease that is deep inside of the tooth’s root. 

Other advanced technology that endodontists have access to include:

• Digital radiography
• Electronic apex locators
• Ultrasonics
• Sedation
• Surgical microscopes
• Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Scanner
