Welcome!

Welcome to the endodontic practice of Drs. Howard Polk, Philip Livingood and John Millar. If you’re visiting this web site, you’ve probably just been informed that you need a root canal. The most important thing to remember is – relax! As endodontic specialists, it is our job to make your experience as comfortable and enjoyable as we can.

Why should you see a specialist for your endodontic treatment?

Root canal therapy can be one of the most technically challenging procedures in dentistry. To perform this procedure with a high level of efficiency and success takes extra training, experience, equipment, and skill. We’ve been providing endodontic care for over a combined 50 years. Endodontics, or root canal therapy, will allow you to keep a tooth that might otherwise be extracted. Successful treatment may be more cost effective than an extraction and the placement of a dental implant or bridge. Teeth that have been treated endodontically can last a good many years. Our doctors and staff can help you decide if it is the best option for you.

So we welcome you, and we hope that you will find the information on our website most helpful. But of course, if you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to contact us at Los Alamitos Endodontics Phone Number (562) 596-1664.
