Southern Arizona Endodontics

Southern Arizona Endodontics: endodontics in Tucson since 1984

Southern Arizona Endodontics is a clinic dedicated exclusively to endodontics, that is, to root canal treatment. Its activity is centered on Tucson and southern Arizona, where it treats both patients referred by other professionals and those seeking relief from dental pain. The clinic has been operating since 1984 and its team is made up of eight endodontists: Drs. Tung Bui, Timothy Cross, Daniel Funk, Justin Hughes, Jeffery Keippel, Thomas Kramkowski, John Smith and Ryan Martin.

Exclusive specialization in root canals

The center states that complex root canal procedures are routine for its team because it is the only activity they perform. Its goal is to preserve the natural tooth, since, according to its approach, no denture, bridge or implant matches the look, feel or function of your own tooth. The clinic maintains that advances in dental technology allow these treatments to be performed with precision and comfort, and that the procedure is not as painful as it is often thought to be.

Four locations in southern Arizona

The clinic operates in four locations. The Central location, at 1011 N Craycroft Rd, Suite 107, Tucson, AZ 85711, and the Northwest location, at 7493 N Oracle Rd, Suite 217, Tucson, AZ 85704, keep hours Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 17:00, with Saturdays by appointment only. The Green Valley location, at 512 E Whitehouse Canyon Rd, Suite 120, Green Valley, AZ 85614, and the Southeast location, at 7395 S Houghton Rd, Suite 126, Tucson, AZ 85747, operate as satellite locations with varying hours, so the clinic indicates that it is necessary to call to find out current availability. The contact phone numbers are (520) 322-0800 for Central and Southeast, (520) 202-5394 for Northwest and (520) 625-6167 for Green Valley.

Emergency care and patient resources

The clinic emphasizes its willingness to handle emergencies, with the message that pain is not on your schedule but time to care for you is on ours. Among its patient support services, it offers online access for patients and for referring doctors, information on payment options and insurance, a frequently asked questions section about root canal treatment and a section with patient reviews. It also has a careers page and another about what to expect during the visit.

Team profile and philosophy of care

The team presents itself as highly skilled and committed to careful and compassionate care. The clinic states that patients are the reason for its activity and that each person receives personalized treatment, with informed decisions about treatment options. Among the values it highlights are kindness, compassion and respect. A review from a Tucson patient, dated April 2019, mentions the efficiency of the staff, the comfort of the waiting area and the speed of care, lasting less than an hour and with no pain.
