-
1
Numb first, then diagnose
Local anesthesia comes first. We combine clinical tests with digital X-rays and, when helpful, CBCT to pinpoint the source of pain.

2
Microscope-guided treatment
Rubber dam isolation keeps the field clean. Rotary NiTi files and activated irrigation help clean and shape the canal system precisely.

Seal and protect
Canals are sealed warm. You leave with a written plan and clear steps for the final restoration with your general dentist.
Tools that support safe, predictable care
Operating microscope
For canal location, calcifications, and crack detection.
Digital X-rays & CBCT
3D views for complex roots, retreatment, and apical lesions.

Do I need an endodontist
Lingering hot or cold
Temperature pain that lingers for a minute or more often points to inflamed pulp.
Bite pain or swelling
Pain when chewing, a bump on the gum, or facial swelling can signal an abscess.
Darkened tooth
Color change after an injury may benefit from root canal therapy or internal bleaching.
If you notice any of these signs, start with an evaluation. Many patients leave more comfortable the same day.
Serving Bergen County and nearby communities
Care for patients in Paramus, Hackensack, Teaneck, Ridgewood, Englewood, Fort Lee, Tenafly, Fair Lawn, and surrounding towns.
FAQ
How long does a root canal take
Many single-tooth cases finish in about 60 to 90 minutes. Complex molars and retreatments can take longer or be split into two visits.
Will I feel the procedure
You should feel pressure but not sharp pain once the tooth is numb. Tell the team if you feel anything and more anesthesia will be placed.
Do I need a crown afterward
Back teeth usually need a crown to protect them. Your general dentist places the crown after the canals are sealed.
Are antibiotics required
Antibiotics are used when there are signs of spreading infection or fever. Cleaning and sealing the canals is what resolves most toothaches.
