Endodontics in Cumming, GA
Advanced Care to Save Your Natural Teeth
When a tooth is threatened by infection or injury, saving it often requires more than a filling or crown. That’s where endodontics comes in. At Inspiring Smiles in Cumming, GA, our team provides advanced endodontic treatments designed to preserve your natural teeth and protect your overall health.
Led by Dr. Page Barden, Dr. John Birch, and Dr. Michael Tehrani, we combine specialty-level expertise with advanced technology to give patients in Cumming, Alpharetta, Roswell, Gainesville, Duluth, Atlanta, and surrounding areas the highest standard of care in tooth preservation.
What Is Endodontics?
Endodontics is a specialized area of dentistry that focuses on the inside of the tooth—the pulp, nerves, and root structures. When this inner tissue becomes infected, damaged, or inflamed, endodontic treatments are performed to:
- Relieve pain and eliminate infection
- Save natural teeth whenever possible
- Prevent the need for extractions and tooth replacements
While many people associate endodontics only with root canals, it also includes more complex procedures like apicoectomy (root-end surgery).
Endodontic Treatments at Inspiring Smiles
Our office provides a full range of endodontic procedures tailored to your needs:
Root Canal Therapy
A standard treatment to remove infected pulp and seal the tooth. Learn more about this service on our Root Canals page.
Apicoectomy (Root-End Surgery)
When a root canal alone isn’t enough, an apicoectomy can save the tooth. This microsurgical procedure removes the infected root tip and surrounding tissue, sealing the area to prevent further infection. It’s often the last line of defense before extraction.
Endodontic Retreatment
If a previously treated tooth becomes reinfected, we can re-open and re-clean the canals to restore health.
Signs You May Need Endodontic Care
You may require endodontic treatment if you are experiencing:
- Persistent toothache or sensitivity to hot/cold
- Swelling or tenderness near the gums
- Pain when chewing or biting
- Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
- A pimple-like bump on the gumline
If you’re unsure, our emergency dentist services can provide same-day evaluations to determine the best course of treatment.

Is an apicoectomy painful?
No. With modern techniques and anesthesia, most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure.
How is an apicoectomy different from a root canal?
A root canal treats the inside of the tooth, while an apicoectomy removes infection from the root tip and surrounding bone.
What happens if I don’t get endodontic treatment?
The infection can spread, leading to tooth loss and possible impact on your overall health.
Can every tooth be saved with endodontics?
Not always—but our goal is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible before considering extractions or dental implants.
