Our Dental Services
You have been referred to us because your dentist feels that you will benefit from the expertise of an Endodontist (root canal specialist).

We will then recommend the treatment options that will best suit your needs.

Most of these procedures are performed in one visit, although a second visit may be required in some cases depending on the presence or extent of certain infections.
What is an Endodontist?
An Endodontist (root canal specialist) is a dentist who pursued an additional 2-3 years of post-doctoral training specific to diagnosing and treating dental infections and pain. The specialty of endodontics mainly comprises treatments which can save compromised teeth as a preferred alternative to extraction (tooth loss).
History of Our Practice
The practice of Best Endodontics was started by Dr James Best in the mid 1950’s as a practice limited to endodontics in Evanston, Illinois. This was prior to the American Dental Association recognizing endodontics as a specialty.
