Who is an endodontist? Here's the specialist guide. An endodontist is a dentist plus two to three extra years of specialty training beyond dental school. Endodontists are focused entirely on saving teeth: root canals, retreatment, and microsurgery. Experience matters. Look at the average number of root canals performed each week: a general dentist does around 2, while an endodontist does around 25. They also rely on advanced technology. Surgical microscopes reveal microscopic details inside the tooth, and 3D CBCT imaging provides advanced scanning for precise diagnosis and treatment. A referral to us is a good sign, not a bad one. It means your dentist wants you to have the highest level of specialized care. Silicon Valley Endodontics & Microsurgery. Sunnyvale, California.
