Planned Services
Every service below is planned for the future practice. Merrick Endodontics is currently in development in Merrick, NY and is not yet accepting patients.
Planned
When the pulp inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected — from deep decay, a crack, or injury — root canal therapy removes the damaged tissue, disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it so the natural tooth can be kept. It is the treatment that relieves the pain rather than causing it.
Planned
A tooth that has had a root canal can sometimes become reinfected months or years later. Retreatment reopens the tooth, removes the previous filling material, addresses the source of the problem, and reseals it — often saving a tooth that might otherwise be lost.
Planned
When nonsurgical treatment is not enough, microsurgery treats the problem at the tip of the root. In an apicoectomy, the root end and surrounding infected tissue are precisely treated under the operating microscope, giving the tooth another path to healing.
Planned
Severe tooth pain, lingering sensitivity to temperature, pain when biting, swelling, or a traumatic injury to a tooth can all signal a problem inside the tooth. Prompt specialty evaluation is planned for urgent cases, working with each patient's general dentist.
The practice is being designed around the technology that defines modern specialty endodontics:
These are part of the vision for the practice now in development in Merrick, NY — described here so patients and referring dentists know what the practice is being built to offer.
