What raises your standing
Board certification
Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics. Voluntary, demanding, and the clearest signal of expertise to referring dentists.
Microsurgery skills
Surgical root-end procedures that save teeth when a normal root canal has failed. Not every endodontist does them.
Three-dimensional imaging
Cone beam scanning finds canals and cracks that flat images miss, and it has changed what is treatable.
Teaching at a dental school
Part-time faculty work keeps you current and feeds referrals.
