Can Every Root Canal Be Done at Your Office?

No.

Many root canals can be completed comfortably in our office, but some situations require additional equipment or advanced techniques that are better handled by an endodontist.

For example, severely curved roots, very small canals, previously treated teeth, or certain complex infections may benefit from specialty care.

If we recommend referring you, it’s because we believe that’s the best way to give your tooth the greatest chance of long-term success.

We’ll explain exactly why we’re recommending the referral and continue working with your specialist to coordinate your care.
