Services
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment removes infected dental pulp to save abscessed teeth. Our specialists use operating microscopes and digital imaging for precise cleaning and filling. Patients benefit from preserved natural teeth and relief from pain, with most treated teeth lasting as long as other natural teeth when properly restored.
Endodontic Retreatment
Retreatment addresses failed previous root canals through advanced techniques. We handle complex cases involving undetected canals or new infections using specialized tools. This procedure offers a second chance to save teeth that develop problems months or years after initial treatment, maintaining dental function.
Apicoectomy
Apicoectomy removes infected root tips to resolve persistent issues. Our surgeons access the root through gum tissue, sealing the end with biocompatible materials. This microsurgical option effectively treats areas inaccessible through conventional methods, promoting bone healing around the treated root over several months.
Dental Trauma Care
We specialize in urgent treatment for knocked-out or cracked teeth. Immediate intervention following trauma increases tooth survival chances. Our team provides replantation procedures and stabilization techniques, emphasizing rapid response to preserve dental structures and prevent complications.
Cracked Tooth Repair
Diagnosis and treatment of cracked teeth involves specialized imaging and testing. We employ magnification tools to identify fracture lines and determine appropriate interventions. Timely treatment prevents progression of cracks that could lead to tooth loss, restoring structural integrity through targeted endodontic approaches.

I had a root canal preformed the same day of my initial visit and was amazed by the quality of work. I had the impression it was supposed to hurt and was surprised that the most painful thing was probobly holding my mouth open. Literally will never fear a root canal again. I recommend this place as prompt with care and very highly skilled.

I've received 2 root canals in the space of a year and a half from Dr. Howard and they have both gone smoothly and successfully. He is very expert but also kind and careful. Thank you very much for the good work you do so I can again be pain-free in my mouth. I definitely recommend Dr. Howard!

I was referred to Dr. Howard for a root canal and boy am I glad I was! Fastest and best (weird, I know) root canal ever. Everything was so simple and easy. Dr. Howard and everyone working with him listened to me, understood my pain and concerns and took care of me immediately. I hope I don't have ti come back (because that means I don't have more dental issues) but if I need a root canal, i know where I'm going! I'd recommend coming here if you need to or are referred here. You are in good hands.

I was referred to Dr. Howard by my regular dentist because of and Root Canal issue. Everyone in the office was helpful and professional. My initial visit was informative and after learning a surgery was needed Dr. Howard offered to do it the same day in the evening, which didn't work for me. After scheduling the initial surgery I had to reschedule. The office was very helpful in doing so. Dr. Howard and his assistant did a great job getting me prepped.
The actual surgery went well and he was able to repair the issue in a timely manner and smoothly all things considered. During the surgery my lower lip accidentally was buggered up with one of his tools. That isn't necessarily a positive, but accidents do happen. That said, they were more than gracious in helping me deal with that, which let me know they really cared about me as a patient. I'd recommend them.

Hands down the best dental/endodontics clinic I have been to. The staff were very friendly and professional. They let me know all payment options/prices up front, no beating around the bush or hidden information. I requested an emergency appointment because I was in pain and the office manager was able to squeeze me in next day. I then received a dental procedure I have never had and it went flawlessly without pain (yay). Definitely suggest them for any dental procedures needed.

Just had a root canal from Dr Howard. I had the worst experiences as a kid and hate dentists so getting a root canal was insult to injury in my mind. Dr. Howard was awesome. Made me feel comfortable from the second he walked in. Didn't feel a single thing. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs a root canal! If you've been putting one off just schedule with him already. You won't regret it.

Dental work was done great. Was seen the same day I went in for a consult. I had a root canal that had been started at my dentist and had been redone a couple times and it would not quit hurting so I was referred here for an apicoectomy. Everything was explained and It was done in an hour. I was very comfortable during the procedure.
