The practice has a history of over 60 years, during which it has built a reputation for clinical skill and a commitment to patient comfort. Their mission is to preserve natural teeth whenever possible by offering advanced, minimally invasive treatments. The clinic is staffed by a team of board-certified endodontists who have completed additional years of specialized training beyond dental school.

They are "root canal doctors" and are uniquely qualified to handle complex cases, including failed root canals, dental trauma, and pain of unknown origin. North Shore & Brookline Endodontics emphasizes a patient-centric approach. They understand that endodontic procedures can be a source of anxiety, and they go to great lengths to ensure a comfortable and relaxed experience. This includes offering various sedation options, such as oral conscious sedation and intravenous sedation, to help patients with dental anxiety. They also provide comprehensive evaluations, clear communication, and personalized treatment plans. The clinic's staff is frequently praised in patient testimonials for their professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness. The practice is at the forefront of dental technology, utilizing state-of-the-art tools to achieve accurate diagnoses and precise treatments. This includes digital X-rays, 3D Cone-Beam CT imaging for a detailed view of tooth structures, and high-powered surgical microscopes for delicate procedures. Their services include: Root Canal Therapy: The most common procedure, which involves removing infected pulp to save a damaged tooth and alleviate pain. Endodontic Re-treatment: A procedure to address a failed root canal where a previous treatment did not heal properly or new problems arose. Endodontic Surgery (Apicoectomy): A minor surgical procedure to remove the tip of the root and the surrounding infected tissue. Sedation Endodontics: Options for patients with high dental anxiety to ensure a comfortable and safe experience. Treatment of Cracked Teeth and Traumatic Dental Injuries: Specialized care for complex dental injuries. Diagnosis of dental pain: Expert evaluation to pinpoint the source of a patient's pain.
