As always, I received an excellent cleaning from Hygienist, Jessica Ross, along with a thorough explanation of anything she observes. In addition to her dental care proficiency, her wonderful good nature and humor make my visit enjoyable and constructive.
I was able to get an appointment the same week even though they’re super busy. Selda did my dental cleaning and did an excellent job. I had a ton of staining from coffee that she took the extra time to completely get rid of! She had an excellent bedside manner and didn’t rush through things. They have an orthodontist that works there on Mondays too which is nice. They accept most insurance companies too. I was able to add on a fluoride treatment for $45 (insurance doesn’t cover this) to further protect my teeth too. Will continue to come back!
Friendly and knowledgeable staff explained all of the procedures and steps. The attending Doctor was professional, kind, and patient, given dentists are most certainly not in my comfort zone. Would highly recommend across the board.
Brief introduction to the significance of specialized root canal treatment and the benefits of choosing experts.
Choosing a specialist for your root canal treatment ensures you receive the highest level of care and expertise. Our Boston endodontists bring years of advanced training, extensive clinical experience, and a strong focus on patient comfort. With a commitment to precision and compassion, we tailor each treatment to your needs, using the latest techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes in a calm, supportive environment.
We provide a full range of advanced endodontic treatments designed to preserve your natural teeth and restore your oral health.
This common procedure removes infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth, relieving pain and preventing the need for extraction. It’s a reliable way to save natural teeth and restore full function.
If a previously treated tooth has not healed properly or becomes reinfected, endodontic re-treatment may be necessary. We carefully evaluate the tooth and perform a second root canal to ensure long-term success.
For complex cases, surgical options such as apicoectomy may be required. These procedures address issues that aren’t visible on X-rays or treat persistent infections near the root tip.
We offer sedation options to help you feel at ease throughout your treatment. From nitrous oxide to oral sedation, we tailor our approach to match your comfort level and medical needs.
We provide prompt care for teeth affected by accidents or trauma, helping to stabilize and preserve the tooth structure while minimizing long-term damage.
We utilize the latest advancements in endodontic technology to deliver precise, efficient, and comfortable care. Our office is equipped with 3D Cone-Beam CT imaging and digital X-rays, allowing us to diagnose issues with exceptional accuracy and develop highly targeted treatment plans. This technology enhances both safety and success rates, ensuring the best outcomes for our patients.

Using advanced techniques and gentle care, we ensure a comfortable experience while effectively treating infected or damaged tooth pulp.

You may need a root canal if you experience persistent toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, discoloration of the tooth, swelling or tenderness in nearby gums, or pain when chewing.
Thanks to modern anesthesia and techniques, root canal treatments are usually no more painful than getting a regular filling. Most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure and may experience mild sensitivity afterward.
A typical root canal appointment lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. The duration can vary depending on the tooth’s condition and complexity of the infection.
Root canal treatments have a high success rate—around 90-95%—especially when performed by experienced endodontists and followed by proper dental care.
Many dental insurance plans cover root canal therapy either fully or partially. It’s best to check your specific plan details or contact your insurance provider to understand your coverage.
After the procedure, avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it’s fully restored. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly, and attend follow-up appointments to ensure healing and restoration.
