Root Canals
Root canal treatment removes infected dental pulp to save natural teeth. Our specialists use advanced 3-D imaging and microsurgical tools for precise cleaning and sealing of root canals. Patients benefit from reduced pain and preserved dental function with success rates exceeding 95% when performed by experienced endodontists.
Endodontic Retreatment
This procedure addresses previously treated teeth that develop new infections. We employ specialized microscopes and modern techniques to remove existing filling material and thoroughly clean the root canal system. Retreatment offers a second chance to save teeth that might otherwise require extraction.
Endodontic Surgery
When nonsurgical methods aren't sufficient, microsurgical procedures like apicoectomy can save damaged teeth. Using operating microscopes and ultrasonic instruments, our specialists remove infected tissue and seal root ends. This precision approach preserves teeth that might otherwise be lost.
Cracked Teeth Treatment
We diagnose and treat various tooth fractures using specialized magnification equipment. Treatment options range from bonding to root canals depending on crack severity. Early intervention prevents further damage and maintains natural tooth structure when possible.
Endodontic Consultations
Comprehensive evaluations determine the best treatment for tooth pain or damage. Our specialists use digital imaging and clinical testing to diagnose pulp health. Patients receive personalized recommendations with clear explanations of all available options for managing dental trauma or infection.

Dr. Bal explained everything before we started. During the procedure I felt absolutely no pain or discomfort of any kind. Dr. Bal told me through the process if I would hear a particular sound or feel pressure, but the entire experience was incredible. I can't say enough positive about Dr. Bal and the entire staff.

Dr. David Keating is a miracle worker. I was out of town on vacation and started to develop an ache in my tooth. Unfortunately, the pain continued thru-out the next 5 days on vacation to the point where I was not able to sleep and no amount of pain medication would help. Upon return from vacation, I immediately saw my dentist who identified the problem and so I went to Dr. Keating to have a root canal.

He tells me this was a severe case of infection and helped me to understand every step of the process to my recovery. He was professional, kind, and communicative. I went from not sleeping and intolerable pain (10) to amazing results with pain subsiding immediately. This was my first (and hopefully only) root canal in my 60 years; however, if the misfortune were to occur again, there is no doubt I would return to Dr. Keating. He is amazing!

Dr. Bal and Razia were awesome. Very grateful for the care received. My root canal was painless; absolutely no discomfort. I was even starting to fall asleep during the procedure.
