Led by Endodontist Dr. William Nudera, Root Canal Care Center provides precise, microsurgical treatment using advanced imaging and techniques to deliver predictable, long-term outcomes.

CAN THE INFECTION COME BACK AFTER TREATMENT?

While uncommon, reinfection can happen. If it does, there are further treatment options available to help preserve the tooth.

What If I Don’t Have Any Pain — Do I Still Need Treatment?

It’s very common for damaged teeth to have little or no pain. This video explains why it’s still important to have the tooth assessed before the problem progresses.

Will I Be Numb During the Treatment?

Yes, treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic to keep you completely comfortable. We use advanced techniques to ensure even sensitive teeth can be fully numbed.

WHAT IS ROOT CANAL SURGERY, ALSO KNOWN AS AN APICOECTOMY?

A Root Canal Surgery is a minor surgical procedure used to remove infection at the tip of a tooth’s root when conventional root canal treatment alone is not sufficient. By accessing the root end directly, the source of infection can be carefully removed.

The end of the root is then cleaned and sealed with a small filling to help prevent further infection and support long-term healing. This approach allows us to preserve the natural tooth while addressing more complex or persistent issues.

What to Expect During Root Canal Surgery

Root Canal Surgery is a minor surgical procedure designed to remove infection at the tip of the tooth’s root when conventional treatment alone is not sufficient. The procedure is performed with precision using advanced microsurgical techniques to ensure accuracy and comfort.

During your visit, the area will be carefully numbed before a small access is made to reach the root tip. The infected tissue is removed, the end of the root is cleaned, and a small filling is placed to seal the canal and prevent further infection.

Following treatment, the area is allowed to heal naturally. Most patients find the procedure well tolerated, with a straightforward recovery and a return to normal activity shortly after.

Expertise Dental Digital Design Clinic
I was referred to this Endodontic Group through my primary dentist and I give this group a 5 star. They are very up front on their fees and they check with your dental insurance and they have no hidden fees. If you need a root canal make an appointment with them for a consultation and you will be glad you did because they are very reasonable and very nice. Thank you Dr Nudera and Dr Kim.

Expertise Dental Digital Design Clinic
When I asked my primary dentist who the most gentle and knowledgeable endodontist was, he immediately recommended Dr. Nudera and he was absolutely right. Dr. Nudera is incredibly talented and performed every procedure with precision and care, explaining each step along the way. He takes the time to listen, discuss options, and truly focuses on preserving your natural teeth. The staff is equally amazing, welcoming, helpful, and attentive throughout the entire experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Nudera to anyone, even if you have to travel—it’s worth it.

They are experts in the field and teach other dentists how to excel at doing root canals. They treat every patient like they are family and deliver outstanding care. Consider yourself lucky if you have to get a root canal by Dr. Nudera
