Benefits
The specialty most offices send out
Most general dentists refer root canals to an endodontist, which means waiting weeks for an appointment while you're in pain, then paying out-of-network fees. Dr. Yeo keeps endodontics in-house because the workflow is predictable, he has the technology, and your tooth shouldn't have to wait.
