Endodontists are the Superheros of Saving Teeth
Specialists in Root Canal Therapy.
Endodontists are partners in patient care that work in concert with your general dentist to give you the best care possible. After dental school, endodontists receive two to three years of additional training where they learn to perform root canals and related procedures. Practices like Beacon Endodontics focus solely on these procedures.
Many dentists are capable of performing root canal therapy, but endodontists perform 25 to 30 each week! Dentists refer patients to Endodontists because of our extensive training and specialized equipment. They know their patients will get a great result.

Endodontists: the Superheroes of Saving Teeth
Learn how endodontists’ advanced training, specialized techniques and superior technologies make them the best choice for root canal treatment to save your natural teeth. This video was produced by Dr. Kevin Kuo, endodontic resident at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine.
Why Choose an Endodontist?
Years of study and extensive experience make an endodontist the right choice to get relief, comfort, healing — and save your tooth!
Endodontists have a wide breadth of experience in treating diseased and painful teeth. This experience comes not only from their 2 years of specialized residency training, but also comes from solely focusing their practice on root canal therapy and related procedures. Endodontists typically perform 25-30 of these procedures a week, a number which quickly builds experience, and with which it is hard for a general dentist to complete.
The treatment process itself becomes very efficient because our practice is set up solely for these procedures. In addition to our experience, the fact that we don’t focus on other types of treatment generally leads to quicker appointments with more positive patient perceptions.
We set up our scheduling to accommodate emergency patients, often the same day, because we understand that tooth pain can be debilitating.
All of the equipment that we use is geared just for endodontic treatment. Because of this, we are able to use most cutting-edge technology to deliver your care. These technologies include surgical operating microscopes, ultrasonic instruments, digital and 3-D imaging and single-use instruments.
All of these things contribute to an incredibly high level of care which is provided in a comfortable environment. These treatments are not the same that your parents and grandparents received!
