Endodontics in New York, NY
Root canals, retreatments, and microsurgery by Dr. Allyson Won. Saving teeth other treatments cannot.
Specialist focus on what is inside the tooth
When infection reaches the nerve inside a tooth, endodontic treatment removes it, cleans the canal system, and seals everything to prevent reinfection. The natural tooth stays. Dr. Won, an NYU adjunct faculty member, works under a microscope and coordinates with Dr. Min for the final crown.
