Endodontics
Specialized treatment of tooth pulp and root canal infections — saving teeth that would otherwise need extraction.
What is Endodontics?
Endodontics is the dental specialty focused on the inside of the tooth — the pulp, nerve, and root canals. At Amores Dental in Miami, we perform root canal therapy, root canal retreatment, and apicoectomy (root-tip surgery) to eliminate infection, relieve pain, and save your natural tooth. Our team uses modern rotary instrumentation and digital imaging so most root canals are completed comfortably in a single visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Modern endodontic treatment is performed under local anesthesia and is comparable in comfort to getting a filling. Most patients say the pain that brought them in was far worse than the procedure itself.
