Non-Surgical Root Canal in Ocean Township
What is a root canal?
A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need of dental implants or bridges.
At the center of your tooth is pulp. Pulp is a collection of blood vessels that helps to build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp can be caused by trauma to the tooth, deep decay, cracks and chips, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms of the infection can be identified as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature, or pain in the tooth and gums.
Have Questions About Non-Surgical Root Canal? Call or Make an Appointment Today!
If you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist will most likely recommend non-surgical treatment to eliminate the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed, and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed. This therapy usually involves local anesthesia and may be completed in one or more visits depending on the treatment required.
Success for this type of treatment occurs in about 90% of cases. If your tooth is not amenable to endodontic treatment or the chance of success is unfavorable, you will be informed at the time of consultation or when a complication becomes evident during or after treatment.
We use local anesthesia to eliminate discomfort. In addition, we will provide nitrous oxide analgesia if indicated. You will be able to drive home after your treatment, and you probably will be comfortable returning to your normal routine.
Endodontic Presentation
To provide you with a better understanding of endodontic procedures, we have provided the following multimedia presentation. Many common questions pertaining to root canal therapy are discussed.
What happens after a root canal?
When your root canal therapy has been completed, a record of your treatment will be sent to your restorative dentist. You should contact their office for a follow-up restoration within a few weeks of completion at our office.
Your restorative dentist will decide on what type of restoration is necessary to protect your tooth. It is rare for endodontic patients to experience complications after routine endodontic treatment or microsurgery.
If a problem does occur, however, we are available at all times to respond. To prevent further decay, continue to practice good dental hygiene.
How much does a root canal cost?
The cost associated with this procedure can vary depending on factors such as the severity of damage to the affected tooth and which tooth is affected. In general, endodontic treatment is much less expensive than tooth removal and replacement with an artificial tooth.

Patient Review By Diane B
I had a wonderful experience during my first-ever root canal with Dr. Pellicano. He and his assistant, Donna, were professional, caring, and incredibly reassuring throughout the entire procedure. Dr. Pellicano went above and beyond to ensure my comfort, which truly put me at ease. I would not hesitate to see him again and highly recommend his office.

Just had my second successful treatment with Dr. Zohn, 8 years after the first. Thank you to Dr. Zohn and Donna for their care and patience with a somewhat nervous patient - it was such a relief to finally be out of pain when I left the office!

Patient Review By Judy F
The doctor put me at ease right away. I think my case was a little complicated, and she handed it expertly with great skill and compassion. I would definitely return to this doctor if I needed more care.

Patient Review By Kenneth P
I needed an emergency root canal and was seen the very next day. Upon arrival I was warmly greeted and within minutes taken in to be examined. The entire staff that I encountered were friendly and very helpful including Dr. Thai who went out of her way to make me relaxed and comfortable. The procedure was painless and without problems and I couldn't have been happier.

Patient Review By Todd F
I had root canal procedure performed by Dr. Pellicano, and he did an excellent job! He was very professional and personable, and he was very thorough in explaining the procedure he was about to perform, which alleviated all my concerns given I was a little nervous (it was my first root canal). The procedure went very well, and I did not experience any pain afterwards, and I was back to work within two hours. The entire staff at Advanced Endodontics that I interacted with were wonderful and very kind. From start to finish, they were all very professional and communicative. I would especially like to commend Dr. Pellicano's dental assistant, Olivia, who right from the start was very welcoming, personable, and professional. Overall, I would highly recommend Advanced Endodontics and Dr. Pellicano - thank you for your exceptional care.

Patient Review By Anthony A
Patient treatment second to known I have ever known. The sign in the patient waiting room reads, "Relax, you're at the beach!" It turns out to be completely true. My care proved to be a day at the beach. The staff is courteous, incredibly warm, accommodating and friendly. Dr. Fabio Apolito himself is an accomplished and amazing dentist with a manner that must be experienced to be fully appreciated. I whole-heatedly recommend this practice to all in need of this form of specialized care.

Patient Review By Diane H
Waited an hour, was told the doctor took an emergency, but other individuals were taken before me who arrived after me. I was not given the option of seeing another doctor today. No apology. Initially when I inquired I was told they were cleaning the room in preparation for me, but that was a lie as I waited a long time more only to be told by the assistant from the back that it would be best if I left as it was going to be quite a while longer.

Patient Review By Kimberly M

Patient Review By Daniel F
I have had root canal’s in the past and they were tolerable. Like most they require you to be anesthetized ( a needle). The complete procedure from start to finish was painless. As long as I have been going to the dentist this was by far my best experience. Dr Thai did a great job of explaining everything and kept asking me if I was experiencing any discomfort. This procedure was yesterday and have no pain less than 24 hours later. Thank you Dr Thai.

Patient Review By Michael P
I could not be more enthusiastic about providing feedback on my experience with Advanced Endodontic Associates. I had a root canal procedure done. Dr. Pellicano was the absolute best. Before the procedure, he showed me the cavity and the nerve on an x-ray. He patiently explained what needed to be done and why. He helped me relax by assuring me that I would experience no pain while he performed the root canal procedure. Dr. Pellicano's assistant, Donna, was kind, warm, and quite professional as she assisted with this procedure. If a root canal procedure can be done pleasantly, it could not be better done than by Dr. Pellicano and his assistant, Donna.

Patient Review By Randy Z
i was referred here after being in severe pain and discomfort from a tooth that was in dire need of a root canal. i knew it needed one and i had put it off for years (due to not liking dental work)until it finally came back to bite me. x rays showed bone loss and damage to the root of the tooth. my options were root canal or pull the tooth. Dr. Zohn said if i were his son hed try to save the tooth. after it was finished i had to wait 4 months to see if the tooth and bone loss in my jaw would heal. x rays showed it healed great and i can now finish the procedure with a post and crown. im thankful for Dr. Zohn he saved my tooth.

Patient Review By Bryan W
Needing a root canal procedure is not what anyone wants, but the doctor and staff made the experience a good as it could be. They were able to evaluate and do the procedure in one visit. I was able to get back to work that afternoon. With issues that had to be addressed at work, the root canal was not even the worst part of my day.

Patient Review By Mary P
Everyone is very polite and friendly, which makes you feel very comfortable. When calling for appointment, they were going to give me one in more than a week, once I told them how uncomfortable it was to drink anything hot or cold, they gave an appointment that day. Which was fantastic. Thank you all so much for taking exceptional care of me!

Patient Review By Sandra B
Great experience! I called last Thursday after seeing my dentist who said I had an abscess and needed a root canal. I spoke with Amber who was wonderful and got me in that afternoon. Dr Zohn and Deanna were like a well oiled machine and I was out of there in about 90 minutes. And they were great to be around! Now 4 days later, the pain is almost 100% subsided. A big thanks to all!

Patient Review By Judith B
I was very nervous about having another root canal. My prior experience was based on the procedures I had done at the dental office that I had gone to for about 60 years. My last root canal had taken 2 days and I was physically exhausted from that experience as I had to travel over an hour each way for 2 days straight. I have since changed my dentist opting for one that is much closer to my residence. When he told me that I would need a root canal procedure, I was not happy. I asked him for a recommendation and was given a recommendation for this group. I scheduled my appointment in the Middletown office with Dr. Apolito. I was taken promptly and everyone from the receptionist to the surgical assistant to the doctor was extremely pleasant, respectful, and very courteous. I cannot find the words to fully express how thrilled I was with this appointment. I'm not saying that I love having a root canal, but Dr. Apolito was absolutely wonderful!! He constantly checked to see that I was ok as did his surgical assistant. I was totally done within an hour. I had not a single issue after the root canal....no pain, no swelling, absolutely nothing!!! I would most definitely recommend Dr. Apolito and the Middletown office if you need to get a root canal!!!! Should I ever need another one (I hope I don't have to), this is where I'm going without a doubt!

I would like to thank Dr. Pellicano for his professional and caring manner by taking care of my root canal procedure.I highly recommend him as he is a amazing endodontist! His assistants and office workers were wonderful.
- Deborah M
Patient Review By John D
Dr Zohn is the best! I was super nervous prior to my appt, and had never had a root canal before - so I didn’t know what to expect. From the moment I was taken to the room for the procedure, Dr Zohn explained exactly what was going to be done and updates you step by step during the entire procedure. I felt ZERO pain, even afterwards! For anyone looking for a recommendation on an endodontist, I highly recommend Dr Zohn and his team - 100%!

Patient Review By Gab S
Doctor pellicano and ellen were so nice and explained everything they made a root canal easier than some of the teeth cleanings I've had there very nice and understanding front desk is also excellent
- Gab S
Patient Review By Helen M
When you are nervous about an appointment everyone you meet impacts your visit. The person at the front desk was warm and friendly. She had a smile that helped me to relax. The assistant was an upbeat fun person....and the doctor had a friendly, competent air about him. They each played a part in making my visit for a root canal better than I could imagine. On the way there my thought was, I can't wait to be coming home. And now, after it is all over, I know if I ever need another root canal it is the only place I would go. It was an experience I am happy to share. Thank you to the entire staff that I had the good fortune to meet!

Patient Review By Ken A
I Had a root canal done last Wednesday By Dr.Thai..I am extremely pleased with the whole process. Dr Thai was informative and nice to talk to.The office staff was great and they worked to schedule me in during a difficult time.. I almost left the office due to time constraints then changed my mind And Dr Thai re-suitted up to do the root canal..I am so happy that I had the procedure done then. It was an Absolutely Painless Procedure! Nobody enjoys a root canal but I can attest from former dental work i have had done in the past that this root canal was by far the best experience I've ever had. If you are in need of dental work check them out and you will be pleased with the outcome. Thanks again Dr. Thai and staff members. Ken A.

As a new patient, my root canal experience with Dr. Pellicano, Ellen (Asst) and the rest of the staff that day was wonderful. From the moment I called and then entered the office, the receptionist was friendly and efficient . Ellen and Dr. Pellicano were not only professional, but made the entire procedure as comfortable as possible. I will absolutely come back to Dr. Pellicano if another root canal is needed!! Thank you and highly recommend Dr. Pellicano!

Patient Review By Brian H
Dr. Zohn was amazing, it was a painless root canal yesterday, with no pain last night or today! One nice change of pace for me was that he explained what was happening throughout the procedure. The new technology really allows for a relaxed session. Thanks Dr. Zohn!

Patient Review By Sylvia C
This was by far the best experience at an endodontist (even if it is not something that one looks forward to). Dr. Pellicano and his staff were exceptional. I thank all of them for being so kind, efficient, caring, and just all around excellent at what they do. Dr. Pellicano, I cannot thank you enough!

Leaving to Europe I fractured my molar 2 days before leaving and was in pain. Call them in the morning and they were able to accommodate me the same day. The staff, dental assistants were all very friendly and courteous. Dr Ostrometskya was fantastic. She explained what she would be doing and kept checking to ensure I was not feeling any pain during the procedure. Thank You Advanced Endodontics Associates.
