Expert endodontic care
to save your natural tooth

Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is a common, minimally invasive procedure that removes infected pulp to save your natural tooth and avoid the need for extraction, implants, or bridges, with a success rate of about 90%.

Learn More
Endodontic Retreatment

Endodontic Retreatment

Endodontic retreatment reopens, cleans, and reseals a previously treated tooth when healing has stalled or new problems like decay or a failing crown have developed, giving your natural tooth a second chance at long-term function.

Learn More
Apicoectomy

Apicoectomy

An apicoectomy is a minor surgical procedure that removes the infected root tip and surrounding tissue to save a tooth when a standard root canal isn't enough, allowing the bone to heal naturally and restore full function over time.

Learn More
Cracked Teeth

Cracked Teeth

Cracked teeth cause unpredictable pain that's often hard to pinpoint, and treatment depends on the type and depth of the crack, ranging from a simple crown for a fractured cusp to root canal therapy for deeper cracks, with early detection being critical to saving the tooth.

Traumatic Injuries

Traumatic Injuries

Traumatic dental injuries require prompt care to save the tooth, whether that means repositioning a dislodged tooth, reimplanting a knocked-out tooth kept moist in milk or saline, or using specialized procedures like apexogenesis or apexification to preserve an injured tooth in a child.

Sedation

Sedation

Advanced Root Canal Specialists offers oral sedation with Halcion and nitrous oxide sedation to help anxious patients receive comfortable, stress-free endodontic care under strict safety protocols and continuous monitoring.

Your root canal
questions, answered

Root canal therapy is a straightforward procedure. After numbing the area completely, your endodontist removes the infected or damaged pulp, cleans and shapes the canal system, and seals it to prevent reinfection. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the experience is.
Our specialists are known for gentle, nearly painless procedures. We use advanced anesthesia techniques and take every step to ensure you are fully comfortable before we begin. Many patients tell us the procedure was far easier than they expected. If you have anxiety about treatment, ask us about our comfort amenities, including weighted blankets and Bose headphones.
Most patients come to us through a referral from their general dentist. If your dentist has recommended endodontic care, we make the transition seamless and will coordinate directly with your dental office. You are also welcome to call us at (410) 772-9600 to schedule an evaluation.
In most cases, root canal therapy is completed in a single visit. More complex cases, such as endodontic retreatment or an apicoectomy, may require an additional appointment. Our team will give you a clear treatment timeline during your initial evaluation so you know exactly what to expect.
A root canal treats a tooth for the first time by removing infected pulp and sealing the canal. Endodontic retreatment addresses a previously treated tooth that has not healed properly or has developed new problems. During retreatment, the old filling material is removed, the canals are thoroughly cleaned, and the tooth is resealed.
An apicoectomy is a minor surgical procedure recommended when non-surgical root canal treatment is not sufficient to save a tooth. It involves removing infected tissue and the very tip of the root to eliminate the source of infection. Our board-certified endodontists perform this procedure with precision and care. Please call us at (410) 772-9600 to find out if this treatment is right for you.

For patients with out-of-pocket costs or no insurance, we offer transparent pricing and flexible payment solutions including CareCredit financing. Our goal is to make expert endodontic care accessible, so you can focus on saving your tooth rather than worrying about cost.
