Endodontics is the specialty of dentistry that is concerned with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases and injuries to the tooth's pulp (nerve) and supporting structure, made up of the gums and bone.

An endodontist is a dentist who has completed two or more years of intensive study in endodontics, in addition to obtaining a four-year degree in dentistry (DDS or DMD), and he/she practices endodontics exclusively.

To provide high quality endodontic (root canal) treatment in a caring and professional manner. To alleviate pain and suffering caused by dental emergencies such as toothaches and trauma to the teeth.

Your dentist will refer you to an endodontist when he/she believes that your present condition requires the services of a specialist. An endodontist is an extension of your dentist's skill, care and judgment. Dr. Langan and his staff are trained to provide root canal treatments comfortably and predictably. Upon completion of your endodontic treatment, you will be reunited with your family dentist until you need our special services once again.
