Meet Your Board-Certified Endodontist – Dr. Megan King

Named one of Atlanta’s Top Dentists in 2019 and 2020, Dr. King is proud to offer you high-quality, stress-free, and safe root canal treatments. As a diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics, she is equipped with the latest education, training, and technology to provide the highest quality care. Most importantly, she will ensure you understand the treatment you need and why, helping you feel relaxed and confident.

What is a board-certified endodontist? A specialist in saving teeth.

An endodontist is a dental specialist who has continued their education specifically in Endodontics. Only 20% of all endodontic specialists achieve board certification and earn the diplomate status from the American Board of Endodontics. As a diplomat, Dr. King proudly ensures the highest possible quality of care for her patients.

Dr. King specializes in all aspects of Endodontics, including conventional root canal therapy, root canal retreatments, cracked teeth, traumatic injuries, endodontic surgery, and diagnosing oral and facial pain. Dr. King implements the surgical microscope, CBCT (3D imaging technology), and other specialty tools to visualize details of the interior or exterior of your tooth. This allows your tooth to be treated with the greatest precision and thoroughness possible.

Why Do You Need an Endodontist?

Beneath the hard outer surface of a tooth lies a soft tissue called the pulp. The pulp contains blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue. It extends from the center of the tooth and runs through a tunnel system (called “canals”) to the end of the roots. If the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, you may experience pain and swelling. It’s important to address the infection before it worsens. Endodontic treatment can eliminate any uncomfortable symptoms you may be experiencing and save your tooth.

Dr. King will conduct a thorough evaluation of your tooth and mouth to create a customized treatment plan for you that provides the most superior outcome. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. We do what’s best for you.

Root Canal Treatment

Endodontic treatment, also known as root canal treatment, may be necessary if you’re experiencing discomfort or if your tooth is suffering from inflammation or an infection. The goal of our treatment is to eliminate infection, achieve patient comfort, and save your tooth.

Endodontic Retreatment

The goal of root canal treatment is to save your tooth for a lifetime. However, as with any medical procedure, the tooth may not heal as expected, leading to pain and infection again. Endodontic retreatment is one possible option to address a secondary infection and resolve pain. CBCT (3D imaging technology) technology and a detailed consultation will allow Dr. King to figure out why your original treatment did not work and help us understand how to achieve a favorable outcome.

Endodontic Surgery

Sometimes a non-surgical procedure alone cannot save your tooth. In this case, Dr. King may recommend surgery. Endodontic surgery has many benefits, and allows Dr. King to address a persistent infection by removing the end of a tooth root or even a cracked root. Endodontic surgery can also provide access to damaged root surfaces and allow biopsy of the root infection.
