When to See an Endodontist
An endodontist is a dental specialist trained to diagnose and treat pain and infection inside the tooth (the pulp and root canal system). You may benefit from an endodontic evaluation if you have:
- Severe tooth pain, especially lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
- Pain when biting or chewing, or a tooth that feels "high" when you close
- Gum swelling, drainage, a bad taste, or concern for an abscess
- A tooth that already had a root canal but symptoms returned
- A suspected cracked tooth or deep restoration close to the nerve
- Dental trauma or a tooth that changed color after injury
Services we Provide
Our practice focuses on tooth-saving endodontic care whenever appropriate:
- Root canal treatment (initial therapy)
- Root canal retreatment (redo root canal) for select previously treated teeth with persistent symptoms or reinfection
- Endodontic microsurgery (apicoectomy) when indicated for certain cases
- Cracked tooth evaluation and treatment planning coordinated with your restoring dentist
- Urgent evaluations for severe tooth pain, swelling, and suspected infection (availability varies)
What to Expect at Your Visit
A specialty endodontic visit is designed to identify the cause of symptoms and clarify the most appropriate options. In most cases, you can expect:
- A focused review of your symptoms and dental history
- Diagnostic imaging (digital X-rays, and CBCT imaging when clinically appropriate)
- Diagnosis and discussion of options, including benefits, limitations, and alternatives
- Coordination with your general dentist for the final restoration (such as a crown) when needed
Modern Diagnostics and Magnification
Endodontic outcomes depend on accurate diagnosis, careful planning, and attention to tooth anatomy. When clinically appropriate, we use magnification and advanced imaging to help evaluate complex anatomy, reinfection risk factors, suspected cracks, and periapical disease patterns. Not every case requires CBCT; imaging and treatment recommendations are based on clinical findings.
Referrals Welcome (and patients may also call directly)
We coordinate closely with your referring general dentist for the overall treatment plan and the final restoration after endodontic care. If you do not have a referral, you may still contact our office directly. Insurance requirements vary, and our team can help clarify what your plan needs.
Cost and Insurance
Fees vary based on tooth type, anatomy, diagnosis, and whether retreatment or microsurgery is indicated. We can review expected fees after an evaluation and help you understand insurance benefits and payment options.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a root canal doctor and an endodontist?
"Root canal doctor" is a common term. An endodontist is a specialist with advanced training focused on diagnosing tooth pain and performing root canal treatment, retreatment, and microsurgery when indicated.
Do I need a referral to see an endodontist?
Referrals are helpful for coordination, but many patients contact us directly. Some insurance plans have referral requirements.
Do you treat patients from Walnut, Chino Hills, Rowland Heights, or Pomona/Phillips Ranch?
Yes. Many of our patients come from nearby cities around Diamond Bar due to our central location and specialty focus.
How do you decide if I need a root canal, retreatment, or apicoectomy?
Recommendations are based on symptoms, clinical testing, and imaging. If the tooth is restorable, we discuss options and the expected benefits and limitations of each approach.
Is CBCT always needed?
Not always. CBCT may be used when clinically appropriate to clarify anatomy or evaluate specific findings; many cases can be managed with standard diagnostic imaging.
Do endodontists extract teeth or place implants?
Endodontists focus on saving natural teeth. Extractions and implants are typically performed by general dentists, oral surgeons, or periodontists, and we coordinate referrals when needed.
Are you a root canal specialist in Diamond Bar?
Yes. Biocrede Endodontics is an endodontic specialty practice in Diamond Bar, CA. Endodontists are the dental specialists who focus on root canal treatment, retreatment, and tooth-saving procedures, and we coordinate with your general dentist for the final restoration when needed.
What symptoms suggest a tooth infection or abscess?
Common signs include swelling of the gum or face, drainage or a bad taste, throbbing pain, tenderness when biting, or a pimple-like bump on the gum. Some infections can have minimal pain, so an evaluation with testing and imaging is important to confirm the source and determine the safest next step.
Do you treat cracked teeth?
We evaluate suspected cracked teeth and determine whether the tooth is likely restorable and whether root canal treatment may be beneficial. Cracks vary widely, and long-term success often depends on the final restoration, so we coordinate with your general dentist on the restoration plan.
Can a previously treated tooth be saved if it hurts again?
Often, yes. Pain or reinfection after a prior root canal may be addressed with retreatment or, in select cases, endodontic microsurgery (apicoectomy). We determine candidacy based on symptoms, testing, imaging findings, and whether the tooth is restorable.
Do you always complete treatment on the first visit?
It depends on the diagnosis, the tooth involved, and clinical complexity. Some visits are evaluation-only, while others may include same-visit treatment if appropriate. We focus on making the correct diagnosis first and then recommending the safest, most predictable plan.
What is a “root canal therapist”?
Some patients use the phrase “root canal therapist,” but the standard term is “endodontist” or “root canal specialist.” Endodontists are trained to diagnose tooth pain and treat infection inside the tooth using root canal treatment, retreatment, and microsurgery when indicated.
Is root canal treatment considered surgery?
Standard root canal treatment is typically considered a non-surgical endodontic procedure performed through the biting surface of the tooth. Endodontic microsurgery (apicoectomy) is a surgical procedure performed when indicated, usually for select cases with persistent infection or anatomy-related limitations.
Do you coordinate with my dentist after treatment?
Yes. We communicate findings, diagnosis, and treatment performed to your referring general dentist so your final restoration (such as a crown) can be completed appropriately. Restoration quality and timing are important factors in long-term tooth survival.
