Services
Root Canal Treatment
Our root canal treatments remove infected pulp tissue while preserving tooth structure. Using advanced microscopes and digital imaging, we clean and seal root canals to eliminate infection. This procedure relieves pain and prevents tooth extraction, allowing patients to maintain their natural smile with proper restoration.
Apicoectomy
This surgical procedure removes infected root tips and surrounding tissue when conventional treatment fails. We access the affected area through gum tissue, excise the damaged portion, and seal the root end. It offers a second chance to save teeth with persistent infections at the root apex.
CBCT Imaging
Our cone beam CT technology creates detailed three-dimensional images of teeth, jawbones, and surrounding structures. This low-radiation imaging system enables precise diagnosis of complex cases and accurate treatment planning for endodontic procedures and surgical interventions.
Dental Trauma Care
We specialize in treating traumatic dental injuries including cracked teeth, dislodged teeth, and root fractures. Immediate evaluation and intervention help preserve tooth viability. Treatment may involve splinting, root canal therapy, or regenerative procedures depending on injury severity and patient needs.
Regenerative Endodontics
This innovative approach stimulates natural healing of damaged pulp tissue in immature permanent teeth. Using biocompatible materials and growth factors, we encourage continued root development and strengthen tooth structure. This preserves tooth vitality and supports long-term dental health in younger patients.

Dr. Ly and her team were exceptional! As someone who does not look forward to having a root canal she handled everything with patience, composure and expertise. Highly recommend if you're nervous or have had a bad experience in the past at a different clinic.

I had a root canal performed by Dr. Gilad Dr. Gilad was extremely knowledgeable, competent and kind. He also took extra measures to ensure I did not experience any pain during the procedure. My last root canal was over 30 years ago and required 2 visits. It's amazing how the technology has changed. The entire procedure was completed in less than an hour.

Date of review 7-25-2019 On 6-24-2019 Dr Jack Gilad performed a root canal on me. I've never had one before. I am Very disappointed and concerned! From this procedure it has either Caused or triggered something where I get terrible pain in opening my mouth. I have called several times and returned Twice! I am Not confident they can even diagnose what is wrong with my mouth. I have barely even heard back from them - A Month later! I wish I had Not gone and do Not plan to return! Scott.
