Endodontic Services Offered
Cracked Teeth Treatment
Tooth cracks can manifest in various forms, whether visible on the surface or hidden beneath the gums. Utilizing a 3-dimensional scan (CBCT scan) and a microscope ensures accurate diagnosis, facilitating a thorough discussion of suitable management options for the cracked tooth. Depending on the severity of the crack, recommendations may include root canal treatment, crown placement without a root canal, or extraction.
Resorption Treatment
Dental resorption is a process where the body breaks down the structure of a tooth, occurring on the surface or within the root canal. Causes may include trauma, orthodontic treatment, or unknown factors. While symptoms like tooth discoloration, sensitivity, or pain may occur, many resorptions show no signs. Advanced tools such as CBCT scans and microscopic exams are used to precisely diagnose the type and extent of resorption. Treatment options vary but aim to save the tooth and address the underlying cause, which may involve root canal therapy, surgery, or other methods. In some cases, cautious monitoring without immediate intervention may be recommended to optimize the long-term survivability of the tooth.
Single Tooth Whitening (Internal Bleaching)
Internal bleaching is a dental procedure used to whiten teeth discolored or stained from within, often due to trauma. This treatment, typically performed alongside root canal therapy, offers a conservative solution for tooth discoloration that may indicate infection, while restoring a brighter smile. Usually, one session suffices, although multiple treatments may be needed for optimal results.
Dental Trauma Management
Dental trauma can occur from sports-related injuries or other sudden impacts. This can include fractures, chips, or dislodgement of teeth, as well as injuries to the soft tissues in the mouth. Unexpected dental trauma demands immediate attention for optimal oral health outcomes. Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the trauma and may include root canal therapy, dental bonding, or splinting to stabilize affected teeth. Follow-up appointments are crucial for ensuring recovery and the long-term survival of the affected dentition.
Regenerative Endodontics & Vital Pulp Therapy
Regenerative endodontics aims to stimulate pulp regeneration through stem cells, while vital pulp therapy involves removing the affected pulp to preserve tooth vitality in the remaining pulp. These approaches can be excellent choices for suitable cases, although their application may not be universal. We utilize these well-established technologies, customizing our approach to meet individual needs for the best possible outcomes.
I had my very first root canal done by Dr. Yoo. I was extremely nervous after hearing some horror stories about root canals. All I can say is wow this doctor was fast and efficient during this procedure. I had pain before the root canal and after the pain was literally GONE! No soreness, no sensitivity, no swelling… I was amazed. He and his assistant worked very well together to speed the entire process up. I highly recommend this doctor.

From the moment I arrived, they were courteous and helpful. Dr. Yoo is amazing, he explained the procedure and proceeded to complete the best Root Canal I've ever experienced. Dr. Yoo was thorough and made sure I was comfortable. The entire team was very professional but friendly. Excellent place and I will recommend it to my friends and family.

So painless and comfortable that I fell asleep during a procedure! Legit-dreaming and all. This practice was able to conduct an emergency root canal on a tooth that already had a crown from a prior root canal. They are extremely professional and very state-of-the-art. Microscope, scans, and all kinds of science that gets you fixed up and back up and running.

Outstanding Dentist! I was in need of a root canal. The process of scheduling an appointment was painless. Dr. Yoo was great at explaining the process and options to my situation. He was very thorough and took the time to get it right. I was very glad that he was able to save my tooth. He has great bedside manners during and after the procedure. He even personally called me the next day to check in (Most doctors let the front office take care of this). He goes the extra mile- and it shows. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Yoo to friends and family.

I was in tremendous pain in one of my teeth. The pain was so much, my brain couldn’t even process it. I called my dentist and he recommended this place. Even though it was super last minute the receptionist (thank you so much!!!) managed to get Doctor Yoo on the phone. As soon as he realized how much pain I was in he told me to come in.
Once I came in, they took me right away. Super professional, clean, friendly, efficacious - did an amazing job!!!!! And most importantly very human, treating me with care.
Thank you to the entire office team, Dr Yoo and Dr. Yoo’s assistant - you guys make a difference in the world ❤️.

The treatment and service by the entire staff and especially Dr. Yoo was excellent. I would without reservation highly recommend him for anyone needing endodontic dental services. He was especially thorough with the explanation of what procedure he was about to perform but was very precise and thoughtful with his call the morning following the treatment to check on my condition.
