Endodontics (Root Canal Care) in Brooklyn, NY

Endodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on the interior of the tooth, specifically the dental pulp and the root canal system. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental procedures, endodontic treatment is needed to save the tooth and eliminate pain. At Bensonhurst Dental Care, endodontic care is designed to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, sparing patients from extraction and the more involved replacement options that follow.

Dr. Alena Manzon earned her DDS at NYU College of Dentistry and completed a postdoctoral certificate in endodontics at NYU. Her work centers on root canals and restorative care, with an emphasis on explaining each step so patients know what to expect. Whether the case involves a straightforward root canal or a more complex retreatment of a previously treated tooth, patients are in experienced hands.

The endodontic services at Bensonhurst Dental Care cover the full spectrum of pulp-related conditions. Cracked tooth treatment addresses fractures that compromise the inner tooth structure. Apicoectomy provides a surgical solution when standard root canal treatment is not sufficient. Internal bleaching restores the natural shade of teeth that have darkened following endodontic treatment. And for patients experiencing acute dental pain, emergency pain treatment is available to provide rapid relief and stabilize the tooth until definitive care can be completed.

Saving a natural tooth is almost always preferable to removing it. Endodontic treatment preserves the tooth’s structure, maintains the integrity of the surrounding bone and gum tissue, and avoids the cost and complexity of replacement with an implant or bridge. At Bensonhurst Dental Care, every effort is made to keep natural teeth healthy and functional for as long as possible.
