Lutz’ Premier Endodontist

General dentists sometimes perform root canals. As an endodontist, Dr. Joseph Breig actually specializes in them. He completed years of additional training after dental school focused on saving teeth. This is true of all endodontists. What makes Dr. Breig the premier endodontist in Lutz, FL is the way he treats you. He’ll make you rethink what to expect from your root canal treatment. From a modern, new facility to a fun welcoming atmosphere, he doesn’t cut corners when it comes to your comfort.

In fact, comfort comes standard here. During treatment, Dr. Breig offers multiple sedation options, minimally invasive equipment, and cutting-edge technology. He also works closely with your general dentist to provide hassle-free continuity of care. If you’ve been turned down for root canal treatment by other dentists or endodontists—he can provide extra comfort in the form of peace of mind. He has the experience and confidence to take on your case when others can’t or won’t. He won’t let you continue suffering with root canal pain, nor will he allow you to have a tooth extraction when he can provide a better alternative. See what redefining root canals really means.

Key Treatments and Technology

Root Canal
Treatment

When infection hits your tooth roots, it can be very painful. The good news is that Dr. Breig can relieve your pain without removing your tooth. Instead, he removes the infected tissue and reinforces the inside of the diseased tooth. This procedure is called a root canal. Afterward, he coordinates placement of a sturdy new crown with your general dentist. You keep your natural tooth roots. No extraction is necessary!

Root Canal
Re-Treatment

Root canal re-treatment is rare, but it can become necessary in some instances. If you had inadequate root canal treatment from a provider the first time around, you might need it. This is not always due to human error; often a complex root structure within the tooth is to blame. When you wait too long to get a new crown, that can also allow reinfection. Sometimes saliva can enter the tooth and cause contamination. Whatever the case, Dr. Breig has the skills and tools to successfully re-treat your root canals.

Advanced Dental
Technology

Imagine having dental imaging done with minimal radiation exposure. Imagine those highly-detailed images making your treatment faster and more effective. Imagine surgery without a scalpel! At Lutz Endodontics you don’t have to imagine these. Dr. Breig provides these advantages to his patients every day with advanced dental technology. Experience the benefits for yourself.
