At Endodontics and Dental Implants of Oklahoma, we specialize in diagnosing and treating complex conditions affecting the interior of the tooth. Our endodontist provides high-precision, evidence-based care designed to relieve pain, eliminate infection, and save natural teeth whenever possible.

What Is Endodontics?
Endodontics is the dental specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases or injuries affecting the dental pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth), root canals, and surrounding periapical tissues. These procedures are often necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to decay, trauma, or deep restorations.
Rather than extracting a damaged tooth, endodontic treatment allows us to preserve your natural dentition and restore normal function.
Signs You May Need Endodontic Treatment
- Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity to hot and cold
- Pain when biting or chewing
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Discoloration of the tooth
- Abscess or pimple on the gums
- History of dental trauma or deep cavities
If you experience any of these symptoms, a consultation with our endodontic specialist is strongly recommended.
Endodontic Services We Provide
Root Canal Therapy
Removes infected or inflamed pulp tissue, cleans the canal system, and seals the space to prevent reinfection. One of the most common and effective ways to save a tooth.
Endodontic Retreatment
Performed when a previously treated tooth becomes reinfected or fails to heal properly. The old filling material is removed, the canal is disinfected, and the tooth is sealed again.
Apicoectomy (Root-End Surgery)
A surgical procedure used when standard root canal therapy is insufficient. The infected root tip is removed and sealed to eliminate persistent infection.
Cracked or Fractured Tooth Management
Early detection and treatment of cracked teeth to prevent further damage and tooth loss.
Emergency Endodontic Care
Same-day treatment available for urgent cases involving pain, swelling, or dental trauma.
