Santa Monica EndodontICS & Root Canal CARE

If you're experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling, you may need root canal therapy. Dr. Richard Haber provides advanced endodontic treatment for patients throughout Santa Monica, Brentwood, and the surrounding Westside communities - delivering fast, lasting relief while saving your natural tooth.

Root canal therapy removes infected or inflamed pulp tissue, disinfects and shapes the canals, then seals them to prevent reinfection. It's the most effective way to treat deep tooth infections while preserving your natural smile.

Root canal retreatment is performed when a tooth that previously had endodontic therapy develops new pain or infection. Patients from West LA, Marina del Rey, and across the Westside visit Dr. Haber for retreatment when decay, a cracked restoration, or missed canals have caused reinfection years after the original procedure.

Dr. Haber uses advanced microscopic techniques to carefully remove the existing filling material, re-clean and reshape the canals, and reseal the tooth - giving it the best chance for long-term success.

When conventional root canal therapy or retreatment cannot resolve a persistent infection at the root tip, an apicoectomy may be needed. This minor surgical procedure removes the tip of the tooth's root and seals the canal from the end.

• Persistent infection after root canal therapy
• Cysts or lesions at the root tip
• Calcified canals that cannot be accessed conventionally

Severe toothache shouldn't wait. Dr. Haber provides same-day emergency root canal treatment for patients experiencing urgent dental pain, abscesses, cracked teeth, and traumatic tooth injuries across Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Venice, and Marina del Rey.

If you're experiencing sudden intense tooth pain, swelling of the jaw or face, or a knocked-out or broken tooth, call us immediately at (310) 393-7766. Early treatment can mean the difference between saving and losing a tooth.

Dr. Haber uses dental operating microscopes to see details invisible to the naked eye - locating missed canals, cracks, and complex anatomy for more thorough root canal treatment and better long-term outcomes. This level of precision is why patients travel from Brentwood, West LA, and Pacific Palisades to our Santa Monica practice.

For anxious patients, sedation options are available to make your experience as relaxed and comfortable as possible. Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable modern endodontic treatment can be.
