Thank you for your interest in Raleigh Endodontics. We look forward to being of service to you. Our expert team, led by respected endodontic specialist Dr. Luke Dalzell, includes an experienced endodontic staff. We provide the highest standard of professional care in a friendly, comfortable environment.
We are dedicated to providing comfort and relief from your immediate symptoms as part of a comprehensive care approach. We don’t stop at treating symptoms but focus on finding the underlying causes and restoring health and quality of life for our patients.
We employ low radiation CBCT in the office for a variety of situations to obtain high quality 3D images of the tooth. In certain cases we apply CBCT to visualize canal morphology, diagnose root fractures, enhance early diagnosis of endodontic lesions, assess anatomical structures, plan surgery, visualize internal and external resorption defects, assess non-endodontic pathosis, and assess endodontic healing. The early diagnostic capability of CBCT can save you from unnecessary, invasive treatment. And, in many cases CBCT can improve treatment outcomes, thus helping to reduce treatment time and the number of treatment visits.
There are many guidelines that we follow to ensure the safety of the patient and staff. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. They enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and analyze the health of your bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.
Dental digital radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Instead of conventional radiographs, digital radiographs result in less radiation to you and provide a better understanding of your dental condition. Exposure time for digital radiographs is calibrated to be as low as possible while assuring the highest diagnostic resolution.
Digital imaging also allows us to store patient images electronically, and enables us to quickly and easily transfer them to your general dentist, other dental specialists, or insurance companies.
The introduction of the surgical microscope has revolutionized the field of Endodontic Microsurgery. Dr. Dalzell and staff are specially trained in microsurgical techniques that preserve natural tooth structure and enable us to precisely visualize each situation with confidence and efficiency. The combination of magnification and fiber-optic illumination are necessary in aiding to see tiny details inside your tooth allowing for exceptional diagnostic ability and treatment efficiency. Problems such as cracks, root fractures, and calcified canals can better be visualized and therefore treated. Microsurgical techniques help ensure conservation of tooth structure and help provide the highest quality of care available today.
Our success depends on us being able to see the minutest of details – you cannot treat what you cannot see.
Ultrasonic instruments are a wonderful adjunct to the operating microscope. They are very small instruments that vibrate at ultrasonic speeds to precisely and delicately remove tooth structure during the root canal procedure. Ultrasonic instruments allow Dr. Dalzell to precisely remove small amounts of tooth structure allowing him to clean the canals more effectively and efficiently. This conservation of tooth structure allows success in situations that were previously considered hopeless. They can also be used for passive ultrasonic irrigation, helping to agitate irrigants in the root(s).
Electronic devices capable of identifying the apex, or endpoint, of a tooth root. With an accuracy of more than 96 percent, this device makes it possible for an endodontist to administer root filling within 0.5mm of the apex.
