SAVING NATURAL TEETH Specialized endodontic experience and advanced technology make today’s root canal treatments fast, comfortable, and effective.

Before having a painful tooth pulled, consider having our specialty team at Brock Endodontics evaluate it. We practice the art of saving teeth and in many cases are able to provide an alternative to replacing a tooth with the option of keeping your natural tooth with root canal therapy.

Endodontists, doctors who specialize in performing root canal treatment, undergo advanced training in this very specialized area of dental medicine. We are able to prevent and manage pain and infections related to the nerves inside your teeth.

With a team of over 40 years of combined experience in endodontic specialty diagnosis, root canal therapy, root canal surgery, and retreatment care of failed root canals, we at Brock Endodontics are able to achieve superior results with a focus on long-term optimal oral health. Our training, expertise and technology allow us to work efficiently, while maintaining the highest quality of care with superb communication. Most teeth are treated in a single, short comfortable visit.

Along with our commitment to relieving pain and saving teeth, our team takes time to honor the community through outreach projects that serve those most in need and have no regular access to dental care, both locally and internationally.

Brock EndodonticsHIGH-TECH/LOW RADIATION Among the sophisticated equipment in our paperless office are cone beam computed tomography, which provides 3-D views of tooth details not visible on 2-D X-rays; fast digital imaging that uses 90 per-cent less radiation than traditional X-rays and high powered oral microscopes together with fiber optic lights to allow thorough inspection and treatment of delicate and complex tooth anatomy.

SPA-LIKE COMFORT At Brock Endodontics, you are offered amenities designed to make your appointment as relaxing as possible. A tranquil reception area with waterfalls and salt water aquarium, cushy pillows and blankets for the dental chair, noise reduction headsets and a movie screen mounted above the chair all assist in maximizing your comfort.
