Root Canal Specialist in Miami
Not all root canals are the same — and not all providers are equally equipped to perform them. At Advanced Endodontic Group, endodontics is all we do. Our team of specialists brings decades of focused experience, advanced technology, and a commitment to saving your natural teeth.
Why See an Endodontist Instead of a General Dentist?
An endodontist is a dentist who has completed an additional two to three years of residency training focused entirely on diagnosing and treating problems inside the tooth. While many general dentists perform root canals, they do so alongside dozens of other procedures — fillings, cleanings, crowns, extractions. An endodontist performs root canals and related procedures exclusively, every day.
This specialization matters. Endodontists are trained to handle the most complex cases — curved canals, calcified canals, teeth with unusual anatomy, retreatment of failed root canals, and endodontic surgery. They also use specialized equipment that is typically not found in general dental offices, including surgical microscopes, CBCT 3D imaging, and laser-activated irrigation systems.
When your general dentist refers you to an endodontist, they are ensuring you receive the highest level of care for your specific situation.
Meet Our Endodontic Specialists
Advanced Endodontic Group is led by Dr. Ingrid Epelman-Dorra, a senior endodontist with over 25 years of focused endodontic experience. Our team also includes Dr. Lauren Mitchell, Dr. Denise Dorra, and Dr. Bianca Magallanes — each bringing specialized training and a commitment to the highest standard of patient care.
Our doctors share the same ethics and professional values: thorough diagnosis before treatment, transparent communication with every patient, and a dedication to saving natural teeth whenever possible. We work closely with referring dentists across Miami-Dade County to ensure coordinated, seamless care.
Our entire team is bilingual in English and Spanish, so you can communicate comfortably about your symptoms, treatment options, and aftercare in the language you prefer.
Advanced Technology in Every Procedure
Every root canal at Advanced Endodontic Group is performed with the full suite of advanced endodontic technology:
Surgical Microscopes — Magnification up to 25x provides a level of visual detail that is impossible to achieve with the naked eye, allowing our endodontists to identify cracks, hidden canals, and complex anatomy that standard equipment cannot detect.
CBCT 3D Imaging — Three-dimensional imaging maps the exact anatomy of your tooth and surrounding structures, providing information that traditional two-dimensional X-rays miss.
Fotona LightWalker Laser — Our dual-wavelength dental laser uses SWEEPS® and SSP technologies to achieve superior canal disinfection through laser-activated irrigation.
Ultrasonic Instrumentation — Precise ultrasonic tools allow for delicate removal of obstructions and thorough canal preparation.
Digital Radiography — Low-radiation digital X-rays provide instant, high-resolution images for diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
