Endodontist in Brooklyn, NY — Save Your Tooth. End the Pain.

Standard root canal therapy cleans infected pulp tissue from the canals inside the tooth root, disinfects thoroughly, and seals the space to prevent reinfection. The tooth is then typically restored with a crown. Molar root canal treatment is more complex because molars have multiple roots and canals — our 3D imaging maps these precisely before treatment, reducing the risk of missed canals that can cause retreatment failures.
When a previous root canal fails — whether because of a missed canal, reinfection, or a crown that allowed bacteria back in — endodontic retreatment reopens the tooth, removes the old filling material, and re-treats the canals more thoroughly. In cases where the infection is in the bone at the root tip and cannot be resolved through the crown, an apicoectomy surgically removes the root tip and seals it from below — a procedure that saves teeth that might otherwise need extraction despite successful prior treatment. Our cracked tooth treatment addresses one of the most difficult diagnostic challenges in dentistry: a crack that causes pain but is often invisible on X-rays. We use transillumination and dye testing alongside 3D imaging to locate and treat cracks before they propagate.
