Why See an Endodontist? | Dentist in 60090

Dentist Wheeling

60090 Dentist

Whether you were referred by your general dentist or looking for a second opinion on a recommended treatment, we’re here to help. An endodontist is a dentist with specialized training and experience in performing root canal treatment and preserving natural teeth.

Why is an endodontist different from a general dentist?

An endodontist has two or more years of advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of issues involving your tooth roots and connected tissues. Unlike a general dentist who provides a wide range of services, our office specializes in endodontic treatments exclusively. Our dentist in Wheeling, IL is an expert in root canal therapy, dental trauma, endodontic surgery, and similar treatments.

When should I see an endodontist?

You may want to see our doctor for a variety of reasons. Some of these include:

  • Being referred by your general dentist for endodontic treatment
  • Wanting a second opinion on a tooth that was recommended for extraction
  • Trauma affecting your tooth root
  • Root canal treatment recommended by your dentist
  • You have a painful and/or infected tooth

Since our practice is solely focused on endodontic care, office is equipped with advanced technology for your comfort and high-quality treatment. If you have had dental trauma, are experiencing tooth pain, have been advised to have root canal treatment, or would like to see if a tooth can be saved, contact our dental office in Wheeling, IL.
