Why do we call ourselves Sarasota Endodontic Solutions?
The specialty practice of endodontics has changed dramatically over the last few years. This has been partly driven by the economy and partly driven by new technology. The fact is most root canal treatments are done by general dentists. What is left for the specialist are, in many cases, the extremely challenging teeth. Often, they are teeth that previously have had root canals that have failed for a variety of reasons. Or, they are teeth that present challenges because of calcified root canal systems, extremely curved roots, fractures, gum issues, patient management issues, TMJ issues, and so on. The point is, the treatment of these teeth requires more time, more patience, more technology (microscopes, CT scans), more knowlege of all phases of dentistry, and better communication skills. Sometimes endodontic solutions means that we need to do a CT 3D cone beam to decide if the patient may be better off doing microsurgical therapy, or perhaps, even an implant.
