Meet Our Root Canal Specialists: Endodontists
Our practice is proud to have Dr. Cha and Dr. Jiang , who are board-certified endodontists – specialists dedicated to root canal therapy. While all endodontists are dentists, only a small percentage pursue the intensive additional training to specialize in endodontics, making them true experts in this field. Think of them as specialists, much like doctors in other medical fields who focus on specific areas of the body.
Endodontists complete two or more extra years of specialized training after dental school. This advanced education is centered on diagnosing tooth pain, understanding the intricacies of the tooth’s inner structures, and mastering root canal procedures using the most current scientific knowledge and cutting-edge technology. Our root canal doctors collaborate closely with your general dentist, who will handle the final restoration of your tooth after the root canal treatment is complete. Both of our endodontists are also clinical faculty members at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine and are certified by the American Board of Endodontics, further demonstrating their commitment to excellence and expertise.
The primary goal of our root canal doctors is to save your natural teeth whenever possible. In fact, endodontic treatment boasts a high success rate in treating diseased teeth. It’s worth noting that millions of teeth are extracted annually in the United States, many of which could be saved with timely and effective root canal treatment. Preserving your natural teeth is always the ideal option for maintaining your oral health and overall well-being.
