Frequently Asked Questions

An endodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on diagnosing tooth pain and performing treatments inside the tooth, such as root canal therapy. Dr. Branton has completed advanced specialty training in Endodontics and uses modern technology to provide precise, comfortable care focused on saving natural teeth.

Modern root canal treatment is designed to be comfortable. At Branton Endodontics, we understand many patients feel nervous about treatment, so we focus on creating a calm experience using advanced techniques and technology to minimize discomfort and help you feel at ease.

Many root canal treatments can be completed in one visit. In cases involving significant infection or added complexity, Dr. Branton may recommend a second appointment to ensure thorough cleaning, proper healing, and the best long-term outcome.

Branton Endodontics uses advanced technology including CBCT 3D imaging, a 4K endodontic microscope, and laser irrigation. These tools allow for more accurate diagnosis, enhanced precision, and improved disinfection to support predictable and successful results.

In some cases, a previously treated tooth may require root canal retreatment. Dr. Branton can carefully evaluate the tooth, remove previous filling materials if needed, and disinfect the canal system to help resolve infection and preserve the natural tooth.

Dental trauma and cracked teeth often require prompt evaluation. Dr. Branton will assess the tooth using advanced imaging and recommend the most appropriate treatment to relieve discomfort, protect the tooth, and prevent further complications whenever possible.

Many patients are referred by their general dentist, but referrals are not always required. Whether you are experiencing tooth pain, have been referred for treatment, or simply have questions, our team is happy to help guide you through the next steps.
