Root Canals

Endodontic therapy, commonly known as a root canal, is a treatment designed specifically to alleviate dental pain and save your tooth. This procedure effectively removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside your tooth, restoring its health and function. Our approach is centered on your comfort, utilizing advanced techniques to minimize discomfort and maximize precision. Your smile is in great hands.

Apicoectomy

An apicoectomy may be necessary if your tooth continues to have problems after a root canal. This minor surgical procedure targets the very tip of the tooth's root, removing any persisting infection and ensuring the integrity of the remaining natural tooth. At Coastal Endodontics, we prioritize preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible, employing precise surgical techniques for effective and lasting results.

Root Canal Retreatment

If your tooth has not healed properly or has developed new problems after an initial root canal, retreatment is a great solution. This process involves reopening the tooth to remove the previous filling materials, carefully cleaning the canal, and inspecting for any additional infections or complications. Our goal is to thoroughly address and resolve any underlying issues, ensuring your tooth is properly sealed and protected for long-term health.

Trusted by Families Across Wilmington

Dr Ritter and the office staff were amazing! I found their office after my dentist gave me a referral to an endontist that couldn’t see me for an eval for another 3 weeks. My tooth was giving me excruciating pain and I have 2 little kids to take of, I just knew I couldn’t wait this long. I found Dr Ritter online and when I called they were able to take me the same day for eval AND treatment. All the office staff was so kind, helpful and prompt. The root canal itself was much easier than expected and most importantly I’m pain free and can function like normal again! Dr. Ritter was very professional and did a great job walking me through what he was doing. I’m so so thankful for this office and can’t say enough good things about my experience.

Rosie

Dr. Ward did an amazing job on my root canal. I went in with so much pain and was very nervous and left feeling confident and have not had any pain since! His staff was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Coastal Endodontics.

Ashley

Was referred to Dr. Ward to fix a root canal gone bad. I was given a timely appointment, quickly assessed, and within the hour I was walking out with a successful outcome. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and accommodating and I got a call the next day to make sure that everything was all right. I know that I will be going to Dr. Ward to get any and all root canals done.

Debbie

A problem tooth developed an abscess shortly before scheduled joint replacement surgery. I was referred to Dr. Ward’s office and they were able to get me an appointment quickly so that my long awaited surgery didn’t have to be delayed. I had my first root canal.
