Expert Care to Relieve Pain and Save Your Natural Teeth

At Midtown Endodontist NYC, we offer advanced endodontic procedures in NYC designed to protect and restore your natural teeth. Whether you require urgent treatment for severe tooth pain or a complex surgical procedure, we utilize the latest techniques and technology to ensure a comfortable and successful outcome.

What Is an Endodontist?

An endodontist is a dentist with two or more years of additional specialty training focused exclusively on diagnosing and treating problems inside the tooth and at the root. While general dentists provide a wide range of services, endodontists:

  • Perform root canals and related surgeries every day
  • Treat complex or emergency cases referred by other dentists
  • Use specialized equipment, such as dental microscopes or diagnostic pulp testers, for greater precision

If you have tooth pain, infection, or an injury affecting the tooth root, an endodontist has the skills and technology to save your tooth when possible.

When Should You See an Endodontist?

You may need specialized endodontic care if you have:

  • Severe tooth pain, especially when chewing or touching the tooth
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
  • Swelling or tenderness in the gums
  • A cracked or injured tooth
  • A failed or painful previous root canal
  • If your general dentist has referred you to an endodontist for specialized evaluation or treatment

Endodontic Procedures at Midtown Endodontist NYC

We offer a comprehensive range of advanced endodontic procedures in NYC, each tailored to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the dental pulp and root structures. Our treatments are aimed at preserving the natural tooth, alleviating pain, and restoring function and integrity to compromised teeth.

Root Canal Treatment

Removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside your tooth, cleans and shapes the canals, and seals them to prevent reinfection. Often completed in a single visit using microscopic precision for the best results.

Root Canal Retreatment

If a tooth with a previous root canal becomes painful or reinfected, retreatment can correct the problem and avoid extraction.

Calcified Root Canal Treatment

Special care for teeth where the canals have narrowed or hardened over time, requiring advanced tools and techniques to treat successfully.

Apicoectomy (Root-End Surgery)

A minor surgical procedure to remove the tip of the tooth root and seal it, often used when a standard root canal alone can’t resolve the problem.

Cracked Tooth Treatment

Diagnosing and treating cracks early helps prevent further damage and tooth loss. [2] Treatments may include bonding, crowns, or root canal therapy, depending on the severity.

Traumatic Tooth Injuries

Specialized treatment for teeth that are chipped, fractured, or knocked out due to accidents or sports injuries, with the goal of saving the natural tooth whenever possible. [3, 6]

Emergency Endodontic Care

We offer same-day appointments for severe tooth pain, swelling, or infection. Prompt treatment can stop discomfort and prevent the need for more invasive procedures.

Sedation for Comfortable Care

We understand that dental treatment, especially root canals or oral surgery, can make some patients anxious. That’s why we offer sedation to help you relax during your visit. From gentle oral sedation to local anesthesia, we’ll work with you to choose the option that keeps you comfortable and stress-free during your procedure.

Digital X-Rays for Precise Imaging and Diagnoses

We use advanced digital X-ray technology to take clear, detailed images of your teeth and the surrounding areas in just seconds. [9] This allows us to spot problems such as cracks, infections, or hidden issues that might not be visible during a regular exam. Digital X-rays also use much less radiation than traditional film, making them a safer option for patients. Because the images appear instantly on our screens, we can review them together and explain your treatment options right away.

An endodontist is a dentist with advanced specialty training focused on diagnosing and treating problems inside the tooth and around the root. Endodontists handle complex cases and use specialized equipment for greater precision.
When should you see an endodontist?
You may need specialized endodontic care if you have persistent tooth pain, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling or tenderness in the gums, a cracked or injured tooth, ongoing pain after prior dental treatment, or a referral from a general dentist.
What endodontic procedures are offered?
Endodontic care can include treatment for infection or inflammation inside the tooth, retreatment of previously treated teeth when symptoms return, apicoectomy (root-end surgery), cracked tooth treatment, treatment for traumatic tooth injuries, emergency endodontic care, and sedation options for patient comfort.
What is an apicoectomy?
An apicoectomy, also known as root-end surgery, is a minor surgical procedure that removes the tip of a tooth root and seals it when nonsurgical treatment alone cannot resolve the problem.
How is a cracked tooth treated?
Treatment for a cracked tooth depends on the severity of the damage and may include bonding, a crown, or other procedures to address damage involving the inner tooth.
Do you offer emergency endodontic care?
Yes. Same-day appointments may be available for severe tooth pain, swelling, or infection, depending on scheduling and the urgency of symptoms.
Do you offer sedation for endodontic procedures?
Yes. Sedation options may be available to help patients relax during treatment, along with local anesthesia for comfort.

Why choose Midtown Endodontist NYC?
Patients choose the practice for specialist-led care, advanced technology designed for precision and comfort, convenient scheduling options, and a patient-focused approach.
How much does it cost to see an endodontist?
The cost of seeing an endodontist varies based on the type of visit, diagnostic imaging needed, and the complexity of the case. Many practices can provide an estimate after an evaluation.
Are endodontists more expensive than dentists?
Endodontists are specialists, and specialist care is usually priced differently due to more advanced education and more extensive expertise. The result of treatment you get with an endodontist is likely to have a more predictable and longer lasting outcome than with a general dentist. In addition, we see a number of patients following care by general dentists where additional canals were missed. Extra canals are not very common and often require special equipment to locate them. Such equipment is quite expensive and typically is not utilized by general dentists.
Do endodontists charge for consultation?
Typically yes, however, most of our endodontic specialists do not charge for consultations, unless you require a same day emergency appointment. Whether you have dental insurance or not, take advantage of a free consultation with our endodontic specialist.
Are endodontics covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans include benefits for endodontic care, but coverage varies by plan and procedure. Patients should verify benefits and any expected out-of-pocket costs.
