Dr. Alexis completed her residency training at UCLA to become a ROOT CANAL SPECIALIST also known as an ENDODONTIST. At our dental office Dr. Alexis uses a surgical microscope to visualize your tooth and to provide the highest level of care to our patients with even the most complex root canal anatomy. We may recommend a 3D X-ray to see the complex anatomy of your tooth and also to assist in diagnosis and appropriate treatment for your dental condition. Traditional dental X-rays are only 2 dimensional, at our office we have CBCT CONE BEAM COMPUTED TECHNOLOGY which offers a high resolution 3D CT scan of your mouth. This technology allows us to provide the highest quality of care for our patients.

When to contact your Endodontist

Masking the pain by taking ibuprofen will only worsen your problem. If you experience recurring pain, contact our dentist immediately. Saving a tooth is always better than having it extracted and replaced with something artificial- nothing beats real enamel despite how far technology has come!

If we suspect your tooth's root is in danger, an x-ray can help us confirm that diagnosis. A root canal often takes two appointments to complete; during the first appointment (which lasts around an hour), we use various tools to clean out the infection from deep inside of your tooth and create a space for fillings or dental crowns which are capped onto most of what remains of many teeth after undergoing this procedure with barely anything left on them at all.

When your pulp becomes inflamed or infected, you will begin to feel symptoms. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, please call us to avoid serious complications.

Toothache

While toothaches can be passing, there are some symptoms that are not to be ignored. Sharp pain in the middle of the night leading to a generalized headache is a warning sign of a more serious issue with your tooth.
We are uniquely qualified as specialists; as husband and wife team we are known to take care of even the most complicated forms of toothache.

Abscess

Common symptoms of an abscess include jaw pain, bad breath, fever, and/or pus.

Sensitivity

Extreme sensitivity to hot and cold foods is a good indicator that you’re dealing with an infection.

Discoloration

Dark discoloration on the tooth points to a deteriorated pulp. This points to severe damage.

Feel free to call our office to learn more about the root canal procedure or any other services we provide. We will be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.
