Endodontic Specialists of Missouri

Specialized Endodontics in St. Louis, Missouri

Endodontic Specialists of Missouri is a practice dedicated to endodontics with over twenty years of experience in root canal treatment, retreatments, cracked teeth, and traumatic injuries. The clinic presents itself as a referral center for complex cases, with the message that its patients have been sent to the best place.

Root Canal Treatment and Retreatments

The main service is root canal treatment, which involves removing infected soft tissue from inside a damaged tooth to alleviate pain, prevent infection, and save the tooth. The clinic also addresses retreatments, necessary when a tooth becomes reinfected or develops new decay, as well as cracked teeth, a situation that can result from chewing hard foods, bruxism, or trauma and, if left untreated, carries a risk of nerve damage or tooth loss.

Complex and Regenerative Endodontics

The practice states that it handles complex endodontic cases that standard root canal treatment cannot resolve. Its regenerative procedures are aimed at helping damaged or underdeveloped roots heal and grow, with the goal of giving young teeth the opportunity to maintain a full and healthy life.

Teaching Practice and Patient-Centered Approach

The clinic defines itself as a teaching endodontic practice, meaning that the latest techniques, research, and standards of care are integral to its work. It notes that the more problematic a case is, the more invested they are in solving it. Additionally, it highlights that its patients leave knowing what happened, why it mattered, and what to do next.

Additional Services and Patient Resources

Services and resources listed on its website include apicoectomy, traumatic injuries, post-operative care instructions for root canals, apicoectomy, and extractions, patient forms, appointment information, financing and insurance, as well as a referral form and materials on endodontic case assessment, treatment planning options, and regenerative procedures.

Insurance and Coverage Network

The clinic is part of the Careington network and the dental insurance companies listed on its website. It recommends that patients, when contacting their insurance company, ask for the list of in-network endodontists who participate with Careington in their area.

Two Locations in the Metropolitan Area
