Services
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment addresses infected or inflamed tooth pulp caused by decay or trauma. Our specialists remove damaged pulp, disinfect root canals, and seal the tooth to prevent reinfection. Modern anesthesia and advanced techniques ensure minimal discomfort, with most procedures completed in one visit. Preserving natural teeth maintains jawbone integrity and avoids more invasive replacements.
Endodontic Retreatment
Endodontic retreatment resolves complications from prior root canal treatments. We remove existing fillings, clean infected areas, and reseal canals using bioceramic materials. This procedure addresses missed canals, persistent infections, or structural failures while preserving tooth structure. Success rates exceed 90% when performed by experienced specialists using microsurgical tools.
Endodontic Surgery
Endodontic surgery treats complex root issues inaccessible through conventional methods. Apicoectomy removes infected root tips and seals canal ends to prevent reinfection. Microsurgical techniques with operating microscopes achieve precision in narrow or calcified canals. Most procedures complete in under 90 minutes with rapid recovery using post-operative care protocols.
Dental Trauma Treatment
Dental trauma treatment addresses cracked, fractured, or avulsed teeth from injuries. Immediate intervention preserves pulp vitality through pulp therapy or reimplantation procedures. Specialists assess damage using 3D imaging and stabilize teeth with splints or bonding. Timely care within 30-60 minutes of injury significantly improves long-term tooth survival rates.

Questions
Does insurance cover endodontic services?
Most dental plans provide partial or full coverage for root canals and trauma treatment. Our office verifies benefits and explains out-of-pocket costs before treatment.
Are root canals painful?
Modern anesthesia makes root canals comfortable, with most patients reporting less discomfort than a dental filling. Post-treatment tenderness typically resolves within 48 hours.
Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?
Reimplanting a tooth within 30-60 minutes offers the best prognosis. Store the tooth in milk or saliva and contact our emergency line immediately for best results.
What happens if I delay endodontic treatment?
Untreated infections can spread to jawbone and bloodstream, potentially requiring extraction. Delayed care increases treatment complexity and costs compared to timely intervention.

Dr. Tittle is amazing! He was the on call Endodontist when I had an emergency with an abscessed tooth. He was fantastic! He came in on the weekend to take care of me. He really worked to get all of the infection out and I know that saved me multiple return trips to my own Endodontist. He is one of the best, & Im usually terrified of dental work because of a childhood facial dog bite. He made sure I was comfortable the whole time! I highly recommend him!

Made me feel very comfortable and reassured me that it would be ok. Dr. Tittle made me feel like family immediately. I trusted him within minutes and he was able to work very quickly and they got me in the same day I was referred.

I'm absolutely terrified of the dentist let alone a specialist. I had a tooth flare up and try to kill me (yes I'm dramatic) and it was an urgent situation I had no time and was in too much pain to turn on my anxiety so I bravely sat there and Dr Tittle made me feel so comfortable and was able to do what he needed to do with a few extra numbing shots here and there. I may have white knuckled the chairs for the solid 48 min but I DID IT.
He was able to get into an infected tooth that was a 10/10 pain for me complete the work he needed to do. Normally I need to be sedated, gassed or even Valium just for a filling. This time I braved a redo of a rootcanal on my own. SAY WHAT. All because of Dr Tittle and his amazing assistant. They staff was so kind too. He validated all of my feelings and explained that some of it was suppose to hurt a little due to my swelling. Understanding this will helped me tough it out. I'm happy to say that it was a very pleasant experience. If you have any fears and need help definitely go here!
