Endodontics

Endodontics is the dental specialty focused on treating the pulp and root canals of teeth. When this inner tissue becomes inflamed or infected due to decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause severe discomfort and lead to tooth loss if left untreated. The most common endodontic procedure is root canal therapy, which removes the infection and preserves the natural tooth.

At The Dentists of Woodbridge, we provide complete endodontic services without referring you out to a specialist. Using 3D CT scanning, intraoral cameras, and advanced instrumentation, our team delivers efficient, accurate, and patient-focused care.

When Is Endodontic Treatment Needed?

You may need endodontic therapy if you experience:

• Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity
• Pain when biting or chewing
• Swelling around the gums
• A darkened or discolored tooth
• A pimple-like bump on the gum

Our team provides fast relief for urgent concerns, with emergency dental services available for patients in pain.

If the pulp of a tooth becomes infected, a root canal may be recommended. During this procedure, the inflamed tissue is removed, the canals are cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is restored often with a dental crown to protect it from future damage.

At our Woodbridge office, root canals are performed with precision and care. Many patients report that the procedure feels no different from getting a routine filling.

Endodontic Expertise Without the Referral

Many general dental offices refer patients out for complex root canals. At The Dentists of Woodbridge, we offer in-house endodontic care, including retreatments and apicoectomy procedures when necessary. If a tooth cannot be saved, we also offer tooth extractions and complete smile restoration options, such as dental implants and bridges.

What does an endodontist do?

An endodontist treats infections in the tooth’s pulp and roots. The most common procedure is a root canal.

How is an endodontist different from a general dentist?

Endodontists receive additional training and use specialized equipment to handle more complex root canal cases than a general dentist.

Why might I need endodontic treatment?

Deep decay, trauma, or infection can damage the pulp of the tooth. Endodontic care removes the infection and preserves your natural tooth.

Is endodontics the same as a root canal?

Root canals are part of endodontics, but the specialty also includes retreatments, surgical procedures, and complex diagnostics.
