Albany Endodontics PC

Endodontics" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium">Albany Endodontics PC is a dedicated dental practice located at 1467 Western Ave, Albany, NY 12203, specializing in endodontics. The term "endodontics" is derived from Greek words "endo" (inside) and "odont" (tooth), referring to the dental specialty concerned with the study and treatment of the dental pulp and the tissues surrounding the roots of a tooth. Endodontists are dentists who have completed an additional two to three years of specialized training beyond dental school, focusing intently on diagnosing and treating complex issues within the tooth's interior. The primary service offered by Albany Endodontics PC is root canal Treatment. This procedure involves removing infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then filling and sealing them to prevent further infection. They also perform Endodontic Retreatment, which is necessary when a previously treated tooth experiences persistent pain or new issues. Beyond root canals, endodontists at Albany Endodontics PC are skilled in various other procedures aimed at saving natural teeth. This includes treating traumatic Dental Injuries, which can often involve saving teeth that have been fractured, chipped, or even dislodged. They also handle cases of cracked tooth syndrome, and can perform Endodontic Surgery, such as apicoectomies, which involve removing the tip of a tooth root and sealing the canal when conventional root canal treatment is insufficient. A core philosophy of Albany Endodontics PC is patient comfort. They understand that visiting a dental specialist can be a source of anxiety for many and strive to create a warm and welcoming environment. They utilize cutting-edge technologies, including operating microscopes, which magnify the view up to 25 times that of the naked eye, allowing for exceptional precision and improved treatment outcomes. This advanced equipment, combined with their specialized expertise, enables them to efficiently manage a wide array of complex endodontic problems. The practice has a history of dedicated service, with Dr. Michael Landau, who retired in June 2024, having opened his practice in Albany in October 1987. The current team, including Dr. Tamanna Gandhi, continues to uphold the practice's commitment to high-quality, patient-centered endodontic care, with the ultimate goal of preserving patients' natural smiles and overall oral health.
