Detailed Introduction

Root Dental Specialists is a specialized dental clinic located in South Portland, Maine. The clinic's name clearly indicates its focus, as "Root" refers to the dental roots and the primary service provided is endodontics, which involves treating the pulp and root tissues of teeth. 🦷 The practice is led by Dr. Stephen Tangredi, a skilled and board-certified Endodontist. The clinic's core mission is to provide expert, compassionate care with a focus on saving patients' natural teeth. They achieve this by specializing in a variety of endodontic procedures, including: Root canal Treatment: This is the most common procedure performed to relieve dental pain and save an infected or damaged tooth. Endodontic retreatment: For cases where a tooth doesn't heal as expected after the initial root canal, this procedure gives the tooth a second chance. Root end surgery (Apicoectomy): This surgical procedure is used to remove an infected root tip and the surrounding inflamed tissue when a traditional root canal isn't sufficient. The practice prides itself on using advanced technology, such as specialized operating microscopes and 3D imaging, to ensure accurate diagnoses and precise treatment. They also offer various payment and financing options, including accepting many insurance plans and partnering with third-party financing companies like CareCredit, to make their services accessible to more patients. The clinic fosters a patient-centered environment, focusing on comfort and providing a gentle touch throughout the treatment process. They are committed to ongoing professional growth and staying at the forefront of endodontic care.

Came in for rootcanal on front upper tooth because of resorption. Did the anxiety medication program they offer. Eased a lot of my worries and they periodically checked in on me before the procedure. The actual procedure itself is similar to cavity filling. Dr did his best to make sure I was comfortable.

Honestly only rough part was the novocan shot but besides that it was a quick 30-40 minute procedure. Was worried about pain but didn't need Advil or Tylenol. Received a call today to check in on me. Overall a professional and painless experience!

Wasn’t stoked by the idea of a Root canal so I went to Dr. T for a 2nd opinion. Doc was able to do it that day under 40 min without any pain. After the root canal I felt great enough to go back to fishing and go about my day. Thanks Dr. T

Just yesterday I had an exceptional experience with Root. I started on a temporary-filling-leading-into-botched-root-canal adventure 7 months ago with a dental clinic that accepts MaineCare. I've been living with discomfort for that entire period, but things worsened two weeks ago when I went through a Root canal which took 2. 5 hours to complete and was poorly executed, resulting in even more pain. That clinic worked out an arrangement with Root Dental and I went in for what I was expecting to be another brutal, multi-hour, torturous experience.

But instead, Dr. Tangredi and dental assistant Tanya were so efficient, so kind, and so skilled. I wasn't even at Root Dental for 1. 5 hours total and the procedure itself probably took less than 45 minutes. The experience was as pleasant as possible, considering the nature of the visit.

I'm not saying I would volunteer to have one done every day, but if I had to do it, I'd choose these guys without hesitation. I wish I could see them for all my potential tooth complications in the future.
