Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy removes infected dental pulp to relieve pain and save natural teeth. Our specialists use GentleWave technology for thorough cleaning, ensuring minimal discomfort. Patients benefit from restored tooth function and prevention of further infection, with most procedures completed in one visit.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry options include nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation to ease anxiety during endodontic procedures. Tailored to individual needs, these methods ensure a relaxed experience while maintaining safety through expert monitoring by anesthesiologists for complex cases.
Endodontic Surgery
Endodontic surgery addresses complications like persistent infections or cracked roots after root canals. Procedures such as apicoectomy remove damaged tissue and root tips, preserving teeth that traditional methods cannot treat. Advanced techniques minimize recovery time and enhance long-term outcomes.

Extremely professional and caring team. Root canals are the worst. That said, if you need one get it from the best!

Great experience. Barbara the assistant is very professional and friendly, making me feel comfortable right away. Dr. Stern is very skilled and has an excellent bed side manner. They both helped me through my dental anxiety, working with me patiently and gently. This is the best Endodontist office around!

I had my first appointment at worcester endodontics. I recently had a kidney transplant and the staff was friendly and sympathetic to my needs. I would definitely recommend this practice. You can't go wrong with Dr Stern, and Dr Nunez. Thank you Evelyn and Karen for your patience and especially Barbara for her inspirational talks.

I had the pleasure, yes pleasure, of having my root canal performed by Dr. Natali Nunez, who was assisted by Karen. To say I received caring and professional care would be an understatement, a disservice, to how I was cared for and treated. As I've had root canals in the past, I REALLY wasn't looking forward to another. However, Dr. Nunez made it almost pain free. I was comfortable listening to 50s and 60s music (I'm in my 60s) with both of them appreciating my choice of music and making sure I was comfortable.
The results of the procedure were greatly praised by my dentist, and others who saw the results. I highly recommend not only the Worcester Endodontics place of business, but more importantly, having Dr. Natali Nunez perform what is needed. The "bedside manners" and respect were incredible. Their service is second to none. Thank you Dr. Nunez and Karen for your incredible work and care. Respectfully, ken
