Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need of dental implants or bridges.
Cracked Teeth
Cracked teeth demonstrate many types of symptoms, including pain when chewing, temperature sensitivities, or even the release of biting pressure. It is also common for tooth pain to come and go, making it difficult to diagnose the cause of discomfort.
Surgical Retreatment (Apicoectomy)
When conventional root canal therapy fails to eliminate infection or if a tooth has persistent symptoms, an apicoectomy may be recommended.
Endodontic Retreatment
Endodontic retreatment is performed when previous root canal treatments have been unsuccessful. The primary reason for treatment failure is the continued presence of bacteria in the root canal or leakage at the coronal area after the procedure. With the appropriate care, your teeth that have had endodontic treatment will last as long as other natural teeth.
Traumatic Injuries
Injuries to the mouth can cause teeth to be pushed back into their sockets. The doctor may reposition and stabilize your tooth.

Patient Testimonials
My initial reaction of needing a root canal was one of fear and anxiety. However being in a lot of pain left me no choice as I needed some relief quickly. As soon as I spoke with Ms. Sue I knew I was in good hands. She assured me everything was going to be fine.
Ms. Dianne and Dr. McHugh made one hell of a team as they couldn’t have been more professional during the entire process. I told both of them they shattered my perception of a root canal. Flawless and painless!
Please go see them, the entire staff are the best!!!
I can’t thank Dr. Desai and his staff enough after my visit today. To say I am baby when it comes to anything dental would be a VAST understatement. They were so, so very kind, patient, understanding and accommodating. From the kind ladies at the front to the velvet touch’s in the back; everyone was very gentle, explained everything that would be happening and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. While no one ever *wants* to end up there, it’s an amazing place if you do.
I had my first visit to this dental office yesterday, and my experience was wonderful! Dr. Desai performed my root canal with great care and was very kind and gentle throughout the process. Amy conducted my initial workup and was both sweet and informative. Michelle took care of my check-in and was also very pleasant. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for excellent dental care!
Great establishment to get premium work done. Dr. Desai and his assistant is amazing! He did an amazing job on my root canal and didn't hurt me like my other experience. I will definitely be using them again and referring clients. I highly recommend this establishment!
I had a root canal with Dr. Desai and Amy, his technician. I've had root canals before and this experience was impeccable. I knew I was in very experienced hands in the way they treated me. They were obviously focused on the medical procedure they were performing but were equally focused on my understanding of every detail of it and of my comfort during it. The entire team made a 'holiday root canal' the best it could have been for me. I would happily recommend them and, actually, I am right now.
I was seen at this location for the 1st time and I must admit it was a very pleasant place.The staff at the front desk greet you with a smile.The process with Dr.Desai was quite smooth and fast and I didn't feel no pain.I would definitely recommend this location for anyone.
I had a root canal with Dr. Desai and his technician Amy today and with this being my first root canal I was naturally very nervous and anxious about the procedure. However from the start I was given everything I needed to know and wanted to know about the procedure, matching that with the professional care and service it took away all of my fears and concerns, this really was such a smooth and seamless procedure and I know that if I need any future procedures that I will choose Dr. Desai and his team because I know I am in good hands!
I have had a couple of root canals done by Dr. Desai and he has made it a great experience! Dr. Desai thoroughly explains everything in a gentile and caring manner. Amy is so supportive and pleasant during the entire process. From the minute you step into the office, you are greeted warmly and efficiently by Barb, Michelle, Bonnie and others....Carolina Endodontics makes root canals so easy to endure!
