An endodontist is a dentist who specializes in saving your natural teeth as much as possible, especially at the root level. Endodontists treat tooth pain. Dr. Gankin uses his specialized training to minimize discomfort and provide long-lasting tooth pain relief from root canals to fixing traumatic emergencies.
When the pulp (the soft tissue inside the root canal of a tooth) gets infected or inflamed, a root canal can save a badly broken, cracked, or decayed tooth. However, if it is not treated right away, it can cause pain or an infection in the tooth. After the tooth is fixed, it works like any other tooth. With good oral hygiene, the fixed tooth could last for the rest of your life.

EndodonticsDr. Gankin will perform an Apical surgery on your gums to access the underlying bone and remove inflammatory or infected tissue. The root is also cut off quite close to its tip. The root canal's exit point is sealed with a tiny filling, and the gums are stitched or sutured to promote appropriate healing.
Apical SurgeryWhether from an injury or normal wear and tear, a cracked tooth can cause a wide range of uncomfortable symptoms, from sporadic pain when chewing to abrupt agony when exposed to extreme heat or cold. It may be difficult to pinpoint the source of the pain, especially if the pain is intermittent. Seeing Dr. Gankin quickly is recommended if you suffer these symptoms or suspect a cracked tooth, as his specialized training in cracked teeth offers the best chance for relief.
Cracked TeethDental trauma treatment relies heavily on the promptness of therapy to save the tooth. Because of this, all dentists must know how to identify and treat the most typical dental injuries. In the acute care setting, this is of paramount importance. Dr. Gankin works in tandem with general dentists, pediatric dentists, or oral surgeons to properly handle dental trauma and ensure the pulp, pulpal space, and root of the tooth are preserved. A concerted and well-informed effort from all team members achieves the best possible care for the patient.
Traumatic InjuryOur ability to plan and execute therapy with more precision and conservatism is largely thanks to the data provided by the 3D scan. Knowing the precise locations of problem areas helps us treat them with the utmost confidence, allowing us to save as much of the natural tooth as possible.
3D ImageryDr. Gankin and his team want to ensure you get relief and access excellent care without a financial burden or barrier.
This is why he works with in-network PPO and HMO insurance and will even help you navigate payments through Care Credit. The goal is to care for the patient. That is our number one priority.
Sedation dentistry levels vary depending on your specific needs. The level of anxiety, length of your treatment, health history, and personal preferences are all factors. Dr. Gankin offers two options to all his patients: Nitrous oxide, also referred to as "laughing gas," and oral conscious sedation, which involves your dentist administering sedative medication (typically in pill form) around an hour before your procedure. Your comfort is of utmost importance when it comes to your teeth.
“I want to put any other patient's mind at ease when thinking of having a root canal. Dr. Gankin and his team are amazing. They made me feel so comfortable. The appointment went so quickly, and I didn't have any pain. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Gankin if you need a root canal. I feel great now.”
