ROOT CANAL TREATMENT STEP BY STEP
Need a root canal? Don't be anxious. This informative video will
walk you step-by-step through the procedure and explain how our
endodontists, the root canal specialists, can save your teeth.
Our Endodontists (Root Canal Specialists)
Dr. Cha and Dr. Jiang are
Endodontists - "Specialists in Saving Teeth through Root Canal
Treatment". While all endodontists are dentists, less than 3% of
dentists are endodontists. Just like a doctor in any other field,
endodontists are specialists because they’ve limited their practice
to endodontics after completing an additional two or more years of
training beyond dental school. Our endodontists work very closely
with your referring general dentist who will place the final
restoration after the root canal treatment is completed. Both of
our endodontists are clinical faculty members at the University of
Connecticut School of Dental Medicine and certified by the American
Board of Endodontics. Their advanced training focuses on diagnosing
dental pain and performing root canal treatment based on scientific
knowledge using the latest technology. In the vast majority of
cases, a diseased tooth can be saved with endodontic treatment with
a high degree of success. More than 40 million teeth are extracted
in the U.S. every year and many of these extractions are
unnecessary. Nothing can truly replace your natural teeth.
3D Micro Root Canal Technology
Using CBCT Imaging and Microscope
Using 3D CBCT Imaging and Dental Operating Microscope (DOM), our
endodontists provide root canal treatment with increased safety and
accuracy which results in a predictable outcome.
3D Cone Beam radiograph allows viewing the root canal space and
the anatomy of the jaw bone in 3D, which helps endodontists to make
more accurate diagnostic decision, establish improved treatment
planning and enhance their performance during the treatment
procedures. Learn More

Carol
The entire root canal took a little over an hour - and that's it. A few hours of rest and time for the anesthetic to wear off, and now there's hardly any discomfort at all. I am truly amazed.
Geoff
Dear Dr. Cha, Thank you so much for the heroic repair of my molar. Your patience and kindness in caring for me will always be remembered and appreciated.
