OUR FIRST PRIORITY: ELIMINATING YOUR TOOTH PAIN

Welcome to Rancho Bernardo Endodontics, an endodontic specialty practice dedicated to the highest standard of care for our patients. We are devoted to compassionate patient care. We treat each patient with a gentle touch & kind heart.

SURGICAL MICROSCOPES

Surgical microscopes have become standard equipment in endodontics, and we utilize this invaluable adjunct to insure a more thorough and successful result.

There are cases that would have almost certainly required extraction just a few years ago and now can be salvaged by the benefits of the magnification and illumination the microscope provides. Benefits of using a surgical microscope are removing separated instruments, locating missed or blocked canals, and visualizing and determining the extent of cracks or fractures.

In addition, images can be captured through the microscope and viewed for better understanding. We also utilize digital radiography not only for the high reduction in X-ray exposure but for the benefits it provides for explanations. A large radiographic image, when seen on the computer monitor, becomes an invaluable aid in communication.

DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY

Digital radiography is similar to conventional X-rays. Digital radiography allows endodontists to detect decay, bone loss, and help with root canals. To take an image, endodontists will place a sensor on the tooth. The process is a little faster than conventional radiographic film, so your exposure to radiation is significantly lower. Once the picture is taken, endotontists can adjust the contrast and brightness to optimize diagnosis. Another benefit of digital radiography is the reduction of chemicals to process the film. The time to develop photos is reduced and can eliminate treatment disruptions.

Because digital imaging significantly reduces the amount of radiation you are exposed to, and because we subscribe to the ALARA Principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable), we utilize ONLY digital radiography in our practice.

We also utilize digital radiography not only for the high reduction in X-ray exposure but for the benefits it provides for explanations.

ENVIRONMENT

At Rancho Bernardo Endodontics, we pride ourselves on creating an inviting and soothing environment with modern styling, purposely designed to make the patient experience as welcoming as possible. You are welcomed to a reception area that presents a comfortable living room setting with a large marine aquarium for idle viewing. Our staff is trained and dedicated to ensure that your experience begins the moment you arrive and we seek to respect your time and resources while making you relaxed.

When welcomed into the procedure area, you will find fully equipped stations providing everything that your endodontist needs to complete your appointment as speedily as possible. Additionally, we seek to provide as many creature comforts as is reasonably available such as viewing television and listening to music to make your experience as pleasing as can be.

Our Carestream 9000 3D High Resolution Cone Beam Computed Tomography takes digital radiography into the third dimension! It is an extraoral imaging system (no sensor is placed in your mouth; instead, the machine rotates around you) that aids in the diagnosis and treatment of complex endodontic cases. If yours is a complex case, we will recommend this new type of imaging because it allows three-dimensional assessment of oral lesions, canal morphology, retreatment cases, root fractures, implant placement locations, etc. And, in keeping with the ALARA, the 9000 system focuses only on the area in need of diagnosis which means the amount of radiation exposure is significantly reduced—more than 100 times less radiation than a medical CT scan.
