Endodontics in Vancouver

Endodontics

While most people won’t need to see an endodontist for root canal therapy and can have the procedure completed in our Vancouver dental office, there are some circumstances that may require specialized treatment. In these cases, we can refer patients to an endodontist in Vancouver, who can help treat tooth pain, save the natural teeth, and preserve a full, strong smile.

What is Endodontics?

Endodontics is a branch of specialized dentistry that deals with the inner portions of the teeth. Some of the structures inside the teeth that an endodontist may deal with include the tooth roots, tooth pulp, and other nerves, tissues, and blood vessels located under the hard surface of the tooth. Since the tooth roots are most usually associated with pain and sensitivity, endodontists are often responsible for treating “tooth pain.” One of the more common procedures an endodontist performs is root canal therapy, typically for more complex or severe cases.

How Can an Endodontist Help Me?

Our experienced dental team often provides root canal therapy for our patients; however, in cases of severe tooth decay, infections, or other issues, we may recommend you see a specialist. We can refer you to an endodontist in the Vancouver area so you can escape from tooth pain and get back to your daily routine.
