L/A Endodontics

L/A Endodontics is a specialized dental clinic located at 626 Main St in Lewiston, Maine. The practice is dedicated to the field of endodontics, which focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the dental pulp—the nerves, blood vessels, and tissues inside the tooth. The clinic is led by a team of professionals, including Dr. Tina Kell, who specializes in endodontic care. The clinic's services are centered around procedures designed to save natural teeth and alleviate pain. This includes a full range of endodontic services such as root canal therapy, which is the most common procedure performed to treat inflamed or infected dental pulp. They also offer root canal retreatment for cases where a previous root canal has failed or become reinfected, and endodontic surgery (apicoectomy) to address infections at the root tip. L/A Endodontics also handles fractured tooth management and provides emergency endodontic services for patients experiencing severe pain. L/A Endodontics distinguishes itself by using advanced technology and techniques to ensure effective and comfortable treatment. They utilize high-powered dental microscopes to magnify the internal anatomy of the tooth, allowing for minimally invasive procedures that preserve more natural tooth structure. The practice also employs 3D CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) imaging to get a detailed, three-dimensional view of teeth and surrounding structures, which aids in diagnosing complex issues like hidden canals or fractures. They also use digital X-rays to reduce radiation exposure and offer nitrous oxide sedation ("laughing gas") for anxious patients. The clinic's philosophy is to provide expert care in a compassionate, patient-centered environment, collaborating with general dentists to ensure a coordinated and comprehensive approach to their patients' oral health.
