Led by Dr. Fred Zargar, our practice focuses on helping patients overcome tooth infection or damage without requiring extraction. Whether you’re experiencing persistent sensitivity, swelling, or unexplained dental pain, our team delivers the focused, professional care you need.
What Is Endodontics?
Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the inside of the tooth—specifically the dental pulp, nerves, and root canals. The most common endodontic procedure is the root canal, which removes infected or inflamed pulp to save a tooth that might otherwise require extraction.
Endodontic treatments may include:
- Root canal therapy
- Retreatment of failed root canals
- Treatment of dental abscesses
- Surgical endodontics (apicoectomy)
Why Endodontics Matters for Phoenix Patients
Preserving your natural teeth matters—not just for function, but also for aesthetics, comfort, and confidence. Endodontic care allows us to maintain your natural smile while eliminating pain and infection at the source.
Key Benefits of Endodontic Treatment:
- Tooth Preservation: With successful root canal therapy, your natural tooth can remain in place for years—even decades—without needing implants or bridges.
- Pain Relief: Infected or inflamed pulp can cause severe, constant pain. Endodontic procedures remove the source of the pain and restore comfort quickly.
- Efficient and Minimally Invasive: Modern root canals are safe, efficient, and far less invasive than many patients expect. Recovery is usually quick and uneventful.
- Aesthetic and Functional Stability: Saving a natural tooth preserves your ability to chew, speak, and smile normally without changing your bite or appearance.
Our Endodontic Process at Tatum Dental Care
When choosing Tatum Dental Care for endodontic services, you select a streamlined, patient-centered approach from the first call to final recovery.
Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation
If needed, Dr. Zargar begins by examining your tooth and surrounding tissue using digital X-rays and CBCT imaging. This helps determine the severity of infection or trauma.
Step 2: Personalized Treatment Plan
If endodontic care is recommended, we explain your options clearly. You’ll know exactly what to expect, including cost, timeline, and aftercare.
Step 3: Gentle, Thorough Treatment
We use advanced equipment and proven techniques to clean the infected root canals, disinfect the area, and seal the space to prevent future issues. The process usually takes one or two visits.
Step 4: Tooth Restoration
After treatment, we place a crown or filling to strengthen and protect the tooth. This ensures long-term stability and a natural appearance.
