Meet Your Endodontist
Dr. Kelvin Chou
Dr. Chou is a board-certified endodontist, which means he specializes in treating infected teeth and their complications. His favorite part about his specialty is seeing patients get out of pain and smile proudly again.
As a conservative and restoration-focused endodontist, Dr. Chou also always looks to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible. He and our team will also work closely with your general dentist to ensure a smooth, fast, and simple tooth restoration process after your endodontic treatment.
Root Canals
If you have an infected tooth, a root canal is the best way to save your smile. During your root canal, Dr. Chou will remove the infected material, fill up your tooth, and prepare it for a restoration such as a dental crown. The process is fast, painless, and prevents further complications due to tooth infections, such as tooth loss.
Endodontic Surgery
Along with routine root canals, we offer a variety of other endodontic surgeries including deep margin elevations, apicoectomies, and more. No matter how difficult your case may be, Dr. Chou combines his 15 years of experience with advanced dental technology to deliver the best possible results.
Retreatment
Root canals can fail if the infection isn’t completely eliminated the first time, a restoration like a dental crown fails, or for a few other reasons. If this happens, root canal retreatment may be necessary to clean out the tooth, restore it, and ensure that it stays infection-free in the future.
