What should you expect at LA Endodontist? Here are some of the offerings that our highly trained professionals can provide you with.
Exam and Diagnosis

X-Rays
We can take x-rays right here at LA Endodontics. X-rays are part of regular dental checkups, but your doctor might recommend an x-ray if you are experiencing a toothache to check for any cracks that could be causing you discomfort. Once again, these services help identify issues that could turn in to more serious (and expensive) problems if left untreated.
Emergency Services
Chipped a tooth eating popcorn? Experiencing pain when you eat hot or cold foods? Sometimes even patients who are diligent about their regular cleanings will need an emergency visit.
Here’s a more detailed look at what happens during an endodontic evaluation:
1. History and Symptom Assessment: The endodontist will ask about your medical history, dental history, and the specific symptoms you’re experiencing, such as pain, sensitivity, and any potential triggers.
2. Clinical Examination: This includes a visual inspection of the tooth, assessment of your bite, and potentially tests like percussion (tapping) and palpation (feeling) to determine the extent of any inflammation or damage.
Expert Endodontic Care Focused on Comfort and Results
At our endodontic practice, preserving your natural teeth and ensuring your comfort are at the heart of everything we do. We specialize in advanced root canal therapy and endodontic procedures, offering expert care for even the most challenging cases.
Why Choose an Endodontist for Your Root Canal?

Precision Tools & Techniques: We use the latest diagnostic and treatment technology to ensure accuracy, comfort, and long-term success.
Cutting-Edge Technology for Accurate Treatment
