Patient Reviews
Upon entering the office, the atmosphere was very welcoming. Staff was as friendly in person as was on the phone making my first appointment. Dr. Campbell not only listened and offered options, but was very detailed in explaining his concern for his patients as to what service is best for the individual. In addition, the staff took pride in covering what was payable regarding your insurance and focused only on one patient at a time. Money counts and they make sure you spend your coins wisely!
- Endodontic Associates Patient
My oral surgeon was determined to make sure he got to the root of the problem. The first time I visited the office I was in so much pain I couldn’t think straight. After my x-ray he went straight to work relieving the pressure that I was feeling. The second visit he went back in to make sure the area was completely clear so that root would not be a reoccurring problem. Thank you so much!
- Endodontic Associates Patient
Everyone was very friendly and helpful from the front desk to clinical staff and the Dr. Costa. He and Rosa kept me laughing through the whole experience which eased my anxiety about the procedure. Dr. Costa also explained everything clearly from start to finish so there was no confusion about the problem or my treatment plan. Great job.

Non-Surgical Root Canal Therapy
OUR PRIMARY GOAL IS TO SAVE YOUR NATURAL TEETH WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
Our practice specializes in Endodontics, commonly referred to as root canal therapy. Endodontics is the treatment of the pulp and surrounding tissues of a tooth. When root canal therapy is performed the pulp chamber of the tooth is removed and then filled with a suitable filling material.
-
Endodontic Re-treatment
OCCASIONALLY A TOOTH THAT WAS TREATED MONTHS OR YEARS AGO MAY DEVELOP NEW PROBLEMS.
In some cases a tooth that has received endodontic treatment fails to heal or continues to have pain. You may have another chance to save the tooth with a second endodontic procedure.
-
Apical Surgery
IN SOME CASES IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE INFECTED ROOT TIPS OR APEX AND THE NEARBY TISSUE.
This is known as a apical surgery or an apicoectomy. The area around the apex of the tooth that is infected is cleaned, and the tip of the root is resected and sealed. Sutures are placed and an ice pack is applied. Medication is prescribed to help alleviate any pain or discomfort and it is best to plan to rest for the remainder of the day.
-
Traumatic Dental Injuries
TRAUMATIC DENTAL INJURIES OFTEN OCCUR IN ACCIDENTS OR SPORTS-RELATED INJURIES.
Chipped teeth account for the majority of all dental injuries. Dislodged or knocked-out teeth are examples of less frequent, but more severe injuries. Treatment depends on the type, location and severity of each injury. Any dental injury, even if apparently mild, requires examination by a dentist or an endodontist immediately.
-
Cracked Teeth
SYMPTOMS OF A CRACKED TOOTH ARE VARIED AND MAY INCLUDE PAIN WHEN CHEWING, TEMPERATURE SENSITIVITY OR PRESSURE SENSITIVITY OR A COMBINATION OF THESE.
Because the pain often comes and goes, it can be very difficult to recognize what is causing the problem. It can sometimes even be difficult to identify exactly which tooth is causing the discomfort.
