About Us
Report
When you experience severe toothache caused by painful breaks, fractures, or infection that impact the innermost layers of your teeth, you need an endodontist with specialty training in caring for the interior parts of teeth. The most common procedure performed by endodontists is the root canal which significantly relieves the discomfort associated with the infection of the inner layers of teeth known as pulp.

Nonsurgical Root Canals
Report
Endodontists are dentists who specialize in treatments for the inner parts of teeth, specifically root canal therapy. After completing undergraduate studies and earning a doctoral degree in dentistry, an additional two to three years of endodontic study is required. This advanced education and hands on training allows an endodontist to perform even the most advanced endodontic procedures.
What is an Endodontist
Report
Your average dentist may perform about two root canal procedures a week, if at all. However, there's a good chance that they'll refer you to an experienced endodontist such as Dr. Bishop instead. This is because when it comes to treating and stopping infections that have taken root deep inside the dental structure, an endodontist will have far more training and experience to help them in the process of saving your smile.
How Do I Know I Need Root Canal Therapy
Report
No one really looks forward to having root canal therapy performed, but it's important to recognize when it might be necessary. If you delay treatment for too long or leave the issue unidentified, the consequences could be a permanent loss of teeth and an infection that spreads to other parts of your body.
