cutting-edge technology

EdgePro Laser.

We are proud to utilize the cutting-edge EdgePro laser in our endodontic treatments. This advanced laser technology allows us to perform root canal therapy and other endodontic treatments with unparalleled accuracy and comfort. One of the key benefits of the EdgePro laser is its ability to precisely target infected or damaged tissue while preserving healthy surrounding areas. This means less trauma to the tooth and surrounding tissues, resulting in reduced discomfort and faster healing times for our patients.

Furthermore, the EdgePro laser promotes greater efficiency during endodontic procedures. Its advanced technology allows us to perform tasks such as removing obstructions and shaping the root canal with greater ease and accuracy. This translates into shorter treatment times, fewer appointments, and an overall smoother experience for our patients.

Patient Testimonials

Super office. When your dentist says go see them, stop what you are doing and go here immediately -- if you want your tooth saved. Love the technology at this office, paperless and electronic records. Oh, did I mention staff super professional all around.

My root canal experience couldn’t have been better! I was in quite a bit of pain. Dr. Martinez and his staff were outstanding! I would highly recommend Dr. Martinez for his kindness, attention to detail and his pain free methods for preparation! I literally didn’t feel a thing which is extremely comforting knowing I may need this treatment again in the future. I know where I would return! Thanks again for such outstanding service.
