Specialized care with a gentle touch
Endodontics is a specialized area of dentistry focused on treating disease or injury to the dental pulp.
Endodontists are dental specialists with advanced training in root canal treatment. They are experts in saving your natural teeth using state-of-the-art technologies like microscopes and digital imaging to treat you quickly and comfortably.
Non-Surgical Endodontics
Over 15.1 million root canals are performed annually in the U.S. to save damaged teeth from extractions. Root canals now offer over a 95% success rate when performed by a qualified endodontist like Dr. Barr and Dr. Maru.
A root canal extracts the inner layer of your tooth (the pulp) to stop pain and prevent infection from spreading. After the tooth is cleaned and sterilized, it is sealed with gutta-percha, and a custom-made dental crown is bonded to protect it and improve its appearance.
Advanced Technology
The GentleWave procedure is an ultra-cleaning method that reaches the deepest and most complex portions of the root canal system. It uses a combination of advanced fluid dynamics and soundwaves to clean microscopic spaces within the tooth, more effectively removing harmful bacteria, debris, and tissues.
Traditional cleaning methods can miss as much as 60% of bacteria, which increases the likelihood of needing another root canal. GentleWave helps ensure the system is fully cleaned, and the procedure is minimally invasive to promote patient comfort.
Surgical Endodontics
When a dental infection spreads beyond the root of a tooth and into the nearby jawbone, Dr. Barr and Dr. Maru can provide a surgical endodontic treatment called an apicoectomy to eliminate the infection, save the tooth, and provide sustained pain relief.
During the procedure, a small incision is made in the gums to access the root of the tooth and infected area. All infected tissue is removed, the area is thoroughly cleaned, the root is sealed, and the treatment area is sutured closed using self-dissolving stitches.
Safe and effective dental sedation is available for patients who feel nervous about the procedure.

We're prepared to handle all kinds of dental injuries in-house so patients can get the pain relief they need and quickly resume their normal lives. We offer same-day emergency dental care.
Tooth Replacement
Dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants restore a tooth both above and below the gum line. A titanium prosthetic root is inserted directly into the jawbone, providing the ideal foundation for new teeth.
Implants are the only treatment that can prevent the bone loss that is common after tooth loss. They have a 98% success rate and can last for 30 years or more with proper care. Dr. Barr holds Mastership with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.

Cosmetic Treatments
Looking for a quick and simple way to turn back the clock without invasive surgery? Dr. Mark Barr and Dr. Avni Maru offer two of the most trusted cosmetic treatments available: BOTOX® and JUVÉDERM®. Their deep understanding of facial anatomy and years of advanced training make them the perfect choice for natural-looking results.
BOTOX® effectively softens the appearance of wrinkles by preventing the muscles that cause skin creasing from contracting — without limiting your natural facial expressions. In just 10 minutes, Dr. Barr or Dr. Maru can target your problem areas, with results appearing in days and lasting 4-5 months.
JUVÉDERM® restores lost volume and smooths deep lines by adding hyaluronic acid beneath the skin. It's ideal for laugh lines, thin lips, and hollow cheeks. Results are immediate and can last up to a year.
