ENDODONTIST (ROOT CANAL SPECIALIST)
An Endodontist is a dentist who specializes in root canal treatment. In addition to dental school, those who choose to specialize in endodontics attend another two to three years of schooling in the field. All dentists are trained on how to diagnose and treat pulp related issues, but when teeth are exceptionally difficult to treat, patients are referred to an Endodontist. Our endodontists, Dr. Akbar Khaiat is able to perform difficult and very complex root canal procedures, including endodontic surgery and treatment of traumatic dental injuries.
