Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment in Miami


When you need a root canal in Miami, trust the specialists. Advanced Endodontic Group focuses exclusively on endodontic care — root canals, retreatment, and endodontic surgery — using surgical microscopes, 3D imaging, and Fotona laser technology to deliver the most precise, comfortable treatment available in South Florida.

Why See an Endodontist for Your Root Canal in Miami?


An endodontist is a dentist who has completed an additional two to three years of specialized training focused exclusively on diagnosing and treating problems inside the tooth. While general dentists perform root canals alongside fillings, cleanings, and other procedures, our entire practice is dedicated to endodontics.

At Advanced Endodontic Group, led by Dr. Ingrid Epelman-Dorra with over 25 years of focused experience, every root canal benefits from specialized training, specialized equipment, and the kind of precision that only comes from treating the dental pulp and root canal system every single day.

Our Miami patients consistently choose us because we offer what general dental offices cannot: surgical microscopes that magnify your tooth up to 25x, 3D cone-beam imaging (CBCT) that maps your tooth's anatomy in three dimensions, and advanced Fotona laser-assisted irrigation for superior disinfection.

What Happens During a Root Canal?


A root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside your tooth, thoroughly cleans and disinfects the canal system, and seals it with a biocompatible material to prevent future infection. The goal is always to save your natural tooth and eliminate pain.

Most root canal procedures at our office are completed in a single visit lasting 60 to 90 minutes. You will receive local anesthesia to ensure complete comfort — modern root canal treatment performed by a specialist is virtually painless. After the procedure, you will return to your general dentist for a permanent restoration, usually a crown.

If you are experiencing a dental emergency, we offer same-day emergency appointments at both locations. Do not wait — early treatment improves outcomes and prevents complications.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • Root canal costs vary depending on which tooth is affected and the complexity of the case. Front teeth are generally less expensive than molars. We accept most major dental insurance plans and offer flexible payment options including CareCredit. Our team will verify your coverage and provide a clear cost estimate before treatment begins. Visit our root canal cost page for more details.

  • Modern root canal treatment performed by an endodontist is virtually painless. We use effective local anesthesia to ensure complete comfort throughout the procedure. Most patients tell us the experience was far more comfortable than the tooth pain that brought them in. Learn more about our painless root canal approach.

  • Most root canals are completed in a single visit lasting 60 to 90 minutes. More complex cases — such as molars with multiple canals or teeth with unusual anatomy — may require additional time or a second appointment.

  • Yes. We offer same-day and next-day emergency appointments for patients experiencing severe tooth pain, swelling, or dental trauma. Call either office and let us know you need urgent care.

  • Saving your natural tooth is almost always the better long-term option. A root canal preserves your tooth, maintains your bite alignment, and is typically less costly than extraction followed by an implant or bridge. Read our detailed comparison: Root Canal vs. Tooth Extraction.

  • Common signs include persistent toothache, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling or tenderness in the gums, darkening of the tooth, or pain when biting. Sometimes there are no obvious symptoms, which is why professional evaluation matters. See our full guide: Signs You Need a Root Canal.
