Dr. Timothy Talbott and Dr. Scott Shwedel
When a tooth's nerve is infected, injured, or decayed, a general dentist often refers patients to an endodontist for specialized treatment. Endodontists complete additional years of training focused solely on saving teeth, and use advanced imaging and techniques to treat pain and infection while preserving your natural tooth.

"Exceptionally professional, friendly — explained each step prior and during the root canal. Left with a feeling of certainty they and Dr. Shwedel cared. Would highly recommend."
"Strange as it may sound, the entire experience was unbelievably painless and pleasant. Dr. Shwedel was most impressive — very competent, gentle and soft spoken."
"Dr Shwedel and his Dental Technician worked as a superb team. The root canal process was extremely smooth, and it followed the schedule of actions that Doctor Shwedel detailed to me before the process started. He is OUTSTANDING!"
"Dr. Shwedel was excellent, my root canal was pain free during and after the procedure. His staff was very caring and they followed up the next day to see if everything was alright."
"I needed a root canal after not seeing the dentist for years due to an extreme dental phobia. Dr. Shwedel and his staff were kind, patient, empathetic, professional, and so gentle."
