It is a very important field within the dental profession as it provides the foundation for advanced restorative treatment. This type of treatment requires specialist skills. In the United States of America, endodontists are widely available and it is common practice for general practitioners to refer their patients on to them, in order to maintain the best level of care. By adopting this established American method of referral practice, we provide a service for practitioners and patients alike, committed to excellence and results.

Many new techniques have developed recently to overcome old problems often encountered with endodontics. The use of a microscope with fibre optic illumination allows us the ability to visualise more clearly the smallest of root canals, to help clean and shape the root system more effectively. New designs of instruments made of nickel titanium are used for their flexibility in negotiating the irregular curves commonly found in adult teeth. These instruments and other equipment used in Andrew’s surgery facilitate a more successful root treatment for the patient.
