Saving Teeth… Pain-Free
Endodontist Julian Gabbay, DDS combines CBCT-guided diagnosis, microscopic precision, and a calm chairside manner to stop pain and preserve your smile.
Procedures
Root Canal
A root canal gently removes the infected or inflamed nerve tissue inside a tooth, disinfects the tiny canals, and seals them so bacteria can’t return. The result is quick pain relief, preservation of your natural tooth, and protection against the infection spreading to neighboring teeth or bone.
If a tooth that already had a root canal begins to ache or shows new infection on an X-ray, retreatment gives it a second chance. We reopen the tooth, remove the old filling material, find any hidden or missed canals, clean everything, and reseal the tooth. This approach resolves lingering infection and lets you keep the tooth instead of having an extraction.
Apicoectomy
When infection persists at the tip of a root after conventional treatment, a minimally invasive surgery can solve the problem without disturbing your existing crown. Through a small incision in the gum, we access the root tip, remove the infected end, and place a tiny seal to block future bacteria. The procedure is quick, most patients return to normal activity the next day, and the surrounding bone is free to heal.
Vital Pulp Therapy
For teeth with deep decay or recent trauma—especially in children or young adults—we can often save the living nerve rather than remove it. By taking out only the irritated portion of the pulp and placing a calcium-rich healing material, we keep the tooth alive, allow natural root development to continue, and avoid a full root canal.
