Root Canal Therapy Is One of Dr. Kroner's Special Skills

Dr. David Kroner has 14 years of experience, and endodontics, the care of the nerve inside a tooth, is one of the areas he's known for. He earned his DDS at NYU College of Dentistry and finished a General Dentistry Residency at Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn.

Our goal for every root canal is simple: absolutely 100% painless and quick. Most of our patients get so relaxed that they fall asleep in the chair. We joke that our favorite sound is snoring.

Diagnosed and Treated by the Same Team

The dentist who finds the problem on your x-ray is part of the team that treats it. You don't have to start over with a stranger to save your tooth.

The Plan and the Fee Before the First Step

We show you the tooth, tell you whether it can be saved and go over the fee before any root canal treatment in Great Neck begins. No upselling, and no work you didn't agree to.

Care That Goes With Your Root Canal

A root canal is often one part of the plan. Here's what usually comes before or after it.

Root Canal Cost

What you'll pay depends on the tooth and your plan. We give you the fee upfront and check your benefits, so there are no surprises on the bill.

Dental Crowns

A back tooth often needs a crown after a root canal to protect it from breaking. Ours are porcelain or ceramic, never metal-based.

Emergency Dentist

Swelling or pain that won't let you sleep is a reason to call today. Dental emergencies are seen the same day, and we'll tell you if a root canal is the fix.

Toothache

Not every toothache means a root canal. Sometimes a filling or a bite adjustment is enough, and we'll tell you honestly which one you need.

Signs a Tooth May Need an Emergency Root Canal

These are the problems that most often bring patients in for root canal care.

Pain That Lingers After Hot or Cold

A quick zing is common. Sensitivity that lasts long after you swallow can mean the nerve is irritated or dying.

A Deep Cavity

Once decay reaches the center of the tooth, a filling alone may not be enough to stop the pain.

A Bump or Swelling on the Gum

A small bump near a sore tooth can point to infection at the root. Call us, and call the same day if your face is swelling.

A Cracked or Darkening Tooth

A crack or a tooth that turns gray after a hit can affect the nerve, even if it doesn't hurt much yet.

Damage From a Car Accident

Root canals are part of the care we provide under New York No-Fault after a car accident.
