No. A root canal doesn't hurt — the infection that makes it necessary is what hurts. Dr. Tiapa works with precise local anesthesia and under the operating microscope, so the procedure is more accurate and far more comfortable. Most patients are surprised by how easy it feels.

Because you can't treat what you can't see. The inside of a tooth is a tiny, dark space with details invisible to the naked eye. The microscope magnifies 10 to 20 times, revealing extra canals, microscopic cracks, perforations and infected tissue that would otherwise be missed. With it, Dr. Tiapa treats exactly what he sees.

It's a minor endodontic microsurgery used when a conventional root canal can't fully clear the infection. Dr. Tiapa accesses the root tip surgically, removes the infected tissue and seals the tip. The procedure is done under local anesthesia and the operating microscope.

It means reopening a tooth with a previously failed root canal to resolve it correctly. Dr. Tiapa performs this under the operating microscope, which is essential for locating untreated canals, leftover material or hidden infection the original treatment missed. Many patients come to DensCare specifically for this.
