Root canal treatment, often simply called a root canal, is a procedure performed to save a tooth that is severely decayed or infected. Dr. Gray performs root canals with precision and care, ensuring minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.
We use advanced imaging technology to visualize the root canals clearly and clean them thoroughly, thereby reducing the chances of repeat treatments.
Sometimes a root canal alone is not sufficient to save your tooth, and a surgical procedure known as an apicoectomy is necessary. During an apicoectomy, the endodontist removes the very tip of the tooth’s root, then fills the resulting cavity to seal off the root canal.
Dr. Gray’s specialized training and experience, paired with advanced surgical technologies, allow him to perform this procedure with high success rates, ensuring you retain your natural tooth for as long as possible.
Accidents happen, but when they involve your teeth the damage can be severe. Whether it’s a knocked-out tooth, a loosened or displaced tooth, or a fractured tooth root, it’s crucial to see us right away. These types of injuries can lead to serious complications if not properly treated in time.
If you experience anxiety or fear about dental procedures, we can help you relax and feel comfortable during your treatment. Depending on the procedure and your comfort level, we can recommend sedation options including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, or IV sedation.
I was referred here by my dentist to check on the viability of a root canal for a cracked molar. Dr. Gray was very reassuring and explained the procedure very well. Initially, when I called to schedule, their appts were going out a month. I was in a lot of pain because of an infection associated with the fracture in the tooth. The desk staff were wonderfully empathetic and worked to find an appt for me that week. Once the procedure was performed 2 weeks later (I had it done under sedation, which explains this delay), the whole process was an experience that couldn't have gone any better. Everyone I encountered in this office during both trips to see them were so friendly and compassionate, which helped me to be as relaxed as I could be under the circumstances. I would definitely recommend Rochester Endodontics to anyone needing this dental work.

This group of people were amazing!!! From walking in the front door to the completion of the root canal - complete professionalism and concern for me as a patient. I have had little dental work done and was quite worried before the procedure. Not only was the procedure less painful than I thought it would be, but it was also much quicker!! It wasn’t until the root canal was done that I realized how much pain I was really in. Should I have to have any other work done, I definitely won’t wait so long.

I had a double root canal procedure, and to my surprise, aside from the novocaine; it was absolutely painless. Like zero.. No pain!!! This is a huge deal for me, as I have severe dental anxiety. DR. Grey and his assistants were very understanding of my anxiety, and excellent at communicators during the procedure. Very calm environment. And for the first time in my life I actually got numbed!! They equipment they have is current and high quality. This location does provide orbital and standard x-rays. Good views of the river. Procedure skill for all staff is very VERY high! Pricing was average Waiting room is standard with a Tuscan furniture theme and comfortable chairs throughout. There is free wifi and there was freechapstick on the way out. There is no TV All in all a very pleasant experience.

I would highly recomend Rochester Endodontics to anyone!! I was very nervous about getting a root canal and they were efficient and comforting and kind from the minute I walked in until the minute I left. The experience was pain-free and took less than an hour. Dr.Gray took time to talk and answer any questions I had.

I've had two Root Canals addressed at Rochester Endodontics. It's a good feeling leaving the office knowing that it was done right. Highly Recommended they're courteous and staff is personable, fun to talk with. They're good at what they do and use new advanced technology like 3-D imaging for the work you're getting done instead of the 2-D imaging you receive with normal dental X-rays. Doctor Gray is the best dentist Ever. Period.
