An endodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on diagnosing tooth pain and performing procedures related to the interior of the tooth, known as the dental pulp. While all endodontists are dentists, they complete an additional two to three years of specialized training beyond dental school.

This advanced education focuses on technologies and techniques to treat complex tooth problems, save natural teeth, and provide expert care for the soft tissues inside the tooth.

You may be referred to an endodontist by your general dentist if you are experiencing severe tooth pain, have a cracked tooth, or need a root canal. Endodontists are experts in managing dental pain and have the specialized equipment, like operating microscopes and 3D imaging, to perform intricate procedures with a high degree of precision and success.

At ReGen Endodontics, our specialists are dedicated to relieving your pain and preserving your natural smile.

ReGen Endodontics provides a full spectrum of advanced endodontic treatments for our patients from Durham. Our primary goal is to alleviate pain and save your natural teeth. Our services include:

• Root Canal Therapy: A procedure to treat infection or inflammation within a tooth’s pulp, relieving pain and preventing tooth loss.
• Endodontic Retreatment: If a previous root canal fails to heal or becomes reinfected, our specialists can perform retreatment to resolve the issue and save the tooth.
• Apicoectomy (Root-End Surgery): A microsurgical procedure to remove the tip of a tooth’s root and surrounding infected tissue when traditional root canal therapy is not sufficient.
• Cracked Tooth Treatment: We use advanced diagnostics to identify and treat cracked teeth, often saving them with root canal therapy and appropriate restoration.
• Emergency Endodontic Care: For sudden and severe tooth pain, swelling, or dental trauma, we offer prompt emergency services to provide immediate relief.

Board certification represents the highest level of commitment to the specialty of endodontics. A board-certified endodontist, also known as a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics, has demonstrated exceptional knowledge, skill, and expertise through a rigorous three-part examination process. This voluntary certification goes beyond the mandatory educational requirements to practice as an endodontist.

Choosing a board-certified endodontist like Dr. Alabbas Hussain or Dr. Sarah Hussain means you are being treated by a specialist who is dedicated to excellence and continuous learning in their field.

They have been thoroughly vetted by a panel of experts and have proven their ability to handle both routine and highly complex endodontic cases with superior proficiency. This certification is a mark of distinction that reflects a deep commitment to providing the best possible patient care.

Your first visit to ReGen Endodontics is focused on accurately diagnosing your issue and developing a personalized treatment plan. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by our friendly staff, who will help you with any necessary paperwork.

You will then meet with Dr. Alabbas Hussain or Dr. Sarah Hussain for a comprehensive evaluation. This will include a review of your medical and dental history and a discussion about your symptoms.

To get a clear picture of your tooth’s condition, we will likely take advanced diagnostic images, such as a high-resolution 3D CBCT scan. This allows us to see the intricate anatomy of your tooth and surrounding structures in detail. After the examination, your endodontist will explain the findings, discuss your diagnosis, and outline the recommended treatment options.

We believe in clear and transparent communication, so we encourage you to ask any questions you may have. Our goal is for you to leave your first visit with a full understanding of your condition and a clear path toward pain relief.

At ReGen Endodontics, patient comfort is at the core of our practice philosophy. We understand that many people experience anxiety about dental procedures, especially root canals. Our team is trained to create a calm and reassuring atmosphere from the moment you walk through our doors.

We use effective local anesthesia to ensure that your treatment is pain-free. Our doctors are known for their gentle and compassionate approach, and they will communicate with you throughout the procedure to make sure you are comfortable.

For patients who need extra help to relax, we offer various sedation options. We also utilize modern, minimally invasive techniques and advanced technology, which often result in a more comfortable experience and a smoother, faster recovery.

From our soothing office environment to our patient-centered care, every aspect of your visit is designed to minimize stress and provide a positive, pain-free experience.
