Endodontics in Manhattan, NYC
Advanced Tooth Preservation & Internal Structure Care
Preserving your natural teeth is always the priority—especially when it comes to damage or infection that originates inside the tooth. At Madison Dental Loft in Midtown and Concierge Dental Design in the Financial District, our endodontic services are designed to treat the internal tissues of your teeth, relieve pain, and prevent the need for extractions whenever possible.
This specialized area of dentistry focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the pulp and roots of your teeth—critical structures that support function, esthetics, and long-term oral health.
What Is Endodontics?
Endodontics is the dental specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases or injuries involving the tooth pulp (nerve tissue), root canals, and surrounding structures. The goal of endodontic care is to save natural teeth that would otherwise need to be removed due to infection, trauma, or structural compromise.
While root canal therapy is the most well-known endodontic treatment, the field includes several other procedures that address complex internal conditions, such as:
- Pulpal diagnosis and testing
- Root end surgeries (apicoectomy)
- Cracked tooth management
- Internal resorption treatment
- Tooth trauma and injury evaluation
Our offices use precise digital diagnostics and minimally invasive techniques to ensure that these conditions are detected early and treated effectively.
Signs You May Need Endodontic Care
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
- Severe tooth pain when chewing or applying pressure
- Swelling or tenderness near the gums
- Discoloration of the tooth
- Presence of a draining lesion or abscess
- History of trauma or cracked teeth
Early intervention can make all the difference. If you're experiencing symptoms, it's important to schedule an exam before the issue progresses.
How Endodontic Treatment Supports Long-Term Oral Health
Endodontic procedures are vital in helping patients retain their natural teeth. Preserving the natural root maintains jawbone integrity and prevents the shifting of adjacent teeth. When paired with advanced dental restorations, such as crowns or inlays and onlays, the results are both functional and esthetically pleasing.
In many cases, endodontic treatment is part of a broader plan that may also include digital diagnostics and restorative procedures tailored to your individual case.

What’s the difference between endodontics and root canal treatment?
Endodontics is the specialty focused on diagnosing and treating internal tooth conditions, and root canal treatment is one of several procedures within that specialty.
Can all teeth be saved with endodontics?
Not all teeth are candidates, especially if damage is too extensive. However, early diagnosis greatly increases the success of endodontic procedures.
Is endodontic treatment painful?
With modern techniques and anesthesia, most procedures are as comfortable as getting a standard dental filling.
Will I need a crown afterward?
In many cases, yes—especially for back teeth. A dental crown helps restore full function and protect the tooth from future damage.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is required. Both of our offices are equipped to perform diagnostics and treatment planning in-house.
