Pain-free Root Canals | NYC

Expert endodontic care that saves your natural tooth comfortably and precisely.

Microscopic root canal therapy is used to “save” a tooth when the nerve becomes infected or the pulp is damaged. Without treatment, the alternative is usually extracting the tooth. For the best outcome, root canals are often performed by specialists called endodontists. Endodontists complete at least two additional years of training beyond dental school, focusing on diagnosing tooth pain and performing root canal therapy and other procedures related to the interior of the tooth. We’re proud to have an endodontist on our team, so you can see a specially trained provider at an office you already know and trust.

What to expect

From diagnosis to recovery, our goal is to make every step comfortable, precise, and stress-free.

  • For new patients, your first visit will either be a limited exam and x-ray with a general dentist, or a 30-minute consultation with our endodontist. In both cases, our goal is to provide an accurate diagnosis and determine whether a root canal is the right treatment for you. If you’re in pain, we’ll take steps to help you feel better right away and then schedule your treatment. If time allows, we may even be able to begin treatment the same day.

  • Your provider will carefully remove the nerve and pulp of the tooth, then clean and seal it to stop infection and restore health. We use a high-powered microscope to make the procedure as precise and minimally invasive as possible. While root canals are often thought of as scary, our modern techniques and gentle approach make the experience surprisingly easy. Your comfort is always our top priority.

  • Following your root canal, we’ll likely recommend protecting the treated tooth with a crown. Because the nerve and blood supply have been removed, the tooth becomes more fragile. A strong, natural-looking crown helps restore full function and improves the long-term success of the tooth by up to six times.
