Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy removes infected pulp from inside a tooth, preserving its structure and function. Our specialists use advanced microscopes and 3D imaging to ensure precision. Patients benefit from reduced pain and restored oral health with long-term success rates exceeding 95%.
Endodontic Surgery
Endodontic surgery addresses complex cases where conventional treatment is insufficient. Using digital radiography and microsurgical techniques, we target infections at the root tip. This procedure saves teeth that might otherwise require extraction, maintaining natural dentition.
3D Cone Beam Imaging
3D cone beam imaging provides detailed cross-sectional views of teeth, nerves, and bone structures. This technology enables accurate diagnosis of cracks, infections, and anatomical complexities. Enhanced visualization reduces treatment risks and improves procedural efficiency for better patient outcomes.
Digital Radiography
Digital radiography delivers high-resolution images with 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays. These images help diagnose decay, infections, and root abnormalities. Immediate digital access allows for faster treatment planning and real-time patient education about their condition.
Post-Operative Care
Post-operative care includes detailed instructions for managing discomfort and promoting healing after endodontic procedures. Our team provides follow-up guidance to prevent complications. Patients receive personalized protocols to ensure smooth recovery and long-term treatment success.

Dr Feltman is my hero! His kindness and concern for my comfort was a big deal for me. The entire office staff greeted me with genuine smiles and were very professional and efficient. I hope to see them all again under better circumstances.

Had my first root canal this morning. What an uneventful experience! Dr Feltman was so reassuring, as he knew I was nervous. I had ZERO pain and was in/out in 45 minutes. I couldn't believe it! I highly recommend him, and can't say enough good about him. -Lisa

Report
Let me start by saying that Dr. Feltman is a super nice guy! I feel very at ease going into the root canal and I've never been nervous about going to the dentist. As soon as the numbness wore off the pain was excruciating! I immediately drove 40 minutes back, only for them to file down the filling and take off half the inside of my tooth with it, which was then cutting my tongue, but I figured it was fine, getting a crown.
They put me on pain meds. A few days later it was just as bad if not worse. I went back. Dr. Feltman was very short with me, didn't even look. He explained to me that it was the empty cavity filling itself in, whatever that means. A week later, still in pain, I called my regular dentist who sent me to another specialist who had to end up pulling the tooth! My husband had a root canal there and his still hurts! Don't go here!
