Northeast Endodontics

Northeast Endodontics is a highly specialized dental practice located at 771 Old Norcross Rd Ste 125, Lawrenceville, GA 30046. The practice is helmed by two experienced endodontists, Dr. Peter Ok and Dr. Pil Kwon, who are dedicated to providing expert care in the field of endodontics. Endodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and injuries of the dental pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) and the surrounding periradicular tissues. The core mission of Northeast Endodontics is to save natural teeth that would otherwise be lost due due to decay, trauma, or infection. They offer a range of specialized services, including: Root Canal Treatment (Endodontic Therapy): This is their primary service, focusing on removing diseased or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then sealing them to prevent further infection. This procedure is crucial for preserving a tooth that has internal damage. Endodontic Retreatment: In cases where a previously root-canaled tooth fails to heal or becomes painful again, Northeast Endodontics can perform retreatment to address the underlying issues and save the tooth. Apicoectomy (Endodontic Microsurgery): When inflammation or infection persists in the bone around the end of a tooth after a root canal, an apicoectomy may be necessary. This surgical procedure involves removing the tip of the tooth root and sealing the area to prevent reinfection. Northeast Endodontics is committed to utilizing cutting-edge technology to enhance diagnosis and treatment outcomes. Their advanced equipment includes: Cone Beam CT (CS 8200 3D Neo Edition): This technology provides highly accurate, 3D radiographic images, allowing for detailed visualization of teeth, bone, sinuses, and surrounding structures with minimal radiation exposure to the patient. This enables precise diagnosis and treatment planning. Zeiss Surgical Microscopes: These high-quality microscopes provide unparalleled magnification and illumination, allowing the endodontists to see even the minutest details during surgical procedures, which is critical for successful outcomes. Digital Imaging (Dexis Titanium Sensor): Digital X-rays reduce radiation exposure by approximately 90% compared to traditional radiographs, while also providing high-quality images for accurate diagnosis and easy sharing with other dental professionals or insurance companies. The practice emphasizes a patient-centered approach, striving to provide care in a friendly, comfortable, and professional environment. They work collaboratively with referring dentists and physicians to ensure comprehensive and optimal dental health for their patients. Both Dr. Ok and Dr. Kwon are highly trained and experienced, with Dr. Peter Ok having specialized in endodontics at Harvard University and being a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics.
