Why Choose an Endodontist?
Experience Matters
Endodontists complete a two year residency after dental school focusing solely on the scientific research and clinical aspects of endodontics. On average, endodontists perform nearly 25 root canal treatments a week. Dr. Sullivan has accumulated over 20,000 cases in his 21 years! Because they limit their practice solely to endodontic treatment, endodontists are able to provide efficient and precise treatment utilizing advanced state-of-the-art equipment. This equates to more comfortable visits and faster healing.
