Root Canal Treatment
When severe decay, damage, or infection threatens your natural tooth, root canal treatment offers a proven solution to save it from extraction. This specialized procedure allows our endodontist to remove infected pulp while preserving your tooth’s structure and function. At Marina Endodontics, we’ve successfully saved thousands of teeth using this meticulous approach that maintains proper alignment and protects your jawbone health.
Dr. Sadek begins each treatment with a comprehensive evaluation to confirm root canal therapy is the best option for your situation. During the procedure, he carefully removes the damaged tissue, thoroughly cleans the interior space, and seals the tooth with biocompatible materials. Our experienced team ensures comfortable treatment that eliminates pain while avoiding costly alternatives like bridges or implants.
Root Canal Retreatment
Sometimes a previously treated tooth develops complications or fails to heal properly, requiring additional intervention to save it. Root canal retreatment becomes necessary when infections return, canals were missed during initial treatment, or new damage occurs to the tooth structure. Rather than extracting your natural tooth, this specialized procedure offers a second chance at preserving it successfully.
Dr. Sadek at Marina Endodontics carefully removes the existing filling material and thoroughly cleans any remaining bacteria or infection from the canal system. The procedure involves reshaping and disinfecting the canals before placing new biocompatible materials to seal the tooth. Our endodontist may schedule multiple appointments to ensure complete treatment of complex cases, providing you with the best opportunity to maintain your natural smile.
Cracked Teeth Treatment
A fractured tooth puts your oral health at serious risk, potentially leading to infection, further damage, or complete tooth loss without proper intervention. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential to preserve the affected tooth and maintain your smile’s integrity. Depending on the severity and location of the crack, various restoration options can effectively repair the damage and protect your natural tooth from future complications.
Treatment begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the extent of the fracture and develop the most appropriate treatment plan. Marina Endodontics offers specialized procedures that may include root preservation therapy or root canal treatment to save your natural tooth from extraction. Our skilled endodontist, Dr. Sadek, uses advanced techniques to restore damaged teeth rather than replacing them, ensuring you maintain optimal oral health and function.
Tooth Resorption
Your body can sometimes break down and absorb the hard tissues of your teeth, including dentin and cementum, in a process called tooth resorption. This destructive condition may result from trauma, inflammation, orthodontic treatment, or unknown factors that trigger your body’s natural resorption response. Without timely intervention, this process leads to progressive tooth structure loss and eventual tooth extraction if left unaddressed.
Dr. Sadek and the Marina Endodontics team understand that multiple contributing factors can cause resorption in adult patients, making early diagnosis crucial for successful outcomes. Our specialized endodontist performs root preservation procedures that may incorporate root canal therapy to halt the resorption process effectively. We focus on saving your natural tooth rather than replacing it, using advanced techniques to preserve tooth structure and maintain your oral health long-term.
Endodontic Surgery
Complex cases involving severe infection, cysts, or anatomical variations may require surgical intervention when traditional root canal therapy isn’t feasible or has previously failed. Marina Endodontics provides advanced endodontic surgery options including apicoectomy, resorption repair, and root amputation procedures tailored to each patient’s specific needs. These specialized treatments address damage or infection in the tooth’s root and surrounding bone tissue that cannot be resolved through non-surgical approaches.
Dr. Sadek evaluates referred patients from dentists throughout Long Beach to determine if surgical intervention offers the best outcome for preserving natural teeth. Our experienced endodontist performs these intricate procedures to treat conditions affecting the inside of the tooth when conventional methods prove insufficient. Each surgical treatment is carefully planned to address complex dental issues while maintaining the highest standards of patient care and comfort.
GentleWave
State-of-the-art ultra-cleaning technology revolutionizes how we approach infected or damaged teeth by using sound waves and disinfectants to achieve thorough canal cleaning. This minimally invasive protocol preserves more natural tooth structure while effectively removing bacteria, tissue, and disease from areas traditional methods might miss. The GentleWave procedure offers patients better outcomes with reduced risk of future retreatment compared to conventional endodontic approaches.
Dr. Sadek utilizes this advanced system to provide safer, more effective treatment that keeps your tooth stronger for longer periods. Our endodontist carefully evaluates each case to determine if this innovative technology is appropriate for your specific situation at Marina Endodontics. The enhanced cleaning capability of this device means fewer complications and improved long-term success rates for patients requiring endodontic care.

Excellence emerges when natural talent meets rigorous training and genuine compassion for human suffering. Dr. Ahmed Sadek’s academic achievements at NYU placed him among the top performers nationally, yet his military service taught lessons no textbook could provide about dedication under pressure. His endodontic residency at Long Beach VA Hospital refined skills through exposure to complex cases requiring innovative solutions. Later serving as attending faculty demonstrated mastery recognized by peers who entrusted him with training future endodontists. Humanitarian work with underserved populations reveals character that extends professional obligations into community service, creating the foundation for treatment philosophy centered on dignity and respect for every individual.

What is a root canal?
Dental pain isn’t always straightforward. Issues like deep decay, cracked teeth, or infection can cause discomfort that radiates beyond the problem tooth, sometimes into the jaw, head, neck, or even the ear. This is because the teeth and gums are connected to a complex network of nerves.
A root canal is a specialized treatment that removes the infected or inflamed tissue inside the tooth, relieves pain, and helps you keep your natural tooth. At Marina Endodontics, Dr. Sadek uses advanced techniques to pinpoint the exact source of your discomfort and provide treatment that’s both effective and gentle.

FAQs
What creates such remarkable patient comfort during procedures?
Multiple factors combine to produce unexpectedly peaceful treatment experiences that often surprise our patients. Advanced anesthetic protocols eliminate sensation while preserving communication ability throughout procedures. The GentleWave technology operates with minimal vibration or noise compared to traditional instruments. Dr. Sadek’s gentle technique and reassuring presence help patients feel secure and protected during treatment.
How does your emergency care differ from hospital emergency rooms?
Unlike general emergency departments that typically prescribe antibiotics and pain medication while referring you elsewhere, our endodontist provides definitive treatment that addresses root causes immediately. Dr. Sadek’s specialized training enables accurate diagnosis of complex endodontic emergencies that general practitioners might miss. Same-day root canal therapy often eliminates pain completely while preserving your natural tooth structure. Emergency rooms cannot offer this level of specialized intervention for dental crises.
Why do other dentists refer complex cases to your practice?
Colleagues recognize Dr. Sadek’s expertise with challenging anatomical situations, failed previous treatments, and unusual presentations that require advanced skills. Our success rate with retreatments and surgical cases exceeds typical outcomes through innovative approaches and superior technology. Many referring doctors have observed dramatic improvements in cases they considered hopeless. Professional reputation builds through consistent results that validate peer confidence in our capabilities.
What should patients expect during their first appointment?
Comprehensive evaluation begins with detailed medical history review and symptom assessment to understand your complete situation. Advanced imaging including cone beam scans reveals three-dimensional anatomy that guides precise treatment planning. Our endodontist explains findings using visual aids and discusses all treatment options available for your specific condition. Most importantly, we address every concern and question before recommending any intervention.
How do you maintain such consistently excellent patient outcomes?
Success stems from refusing to accept mediocrity at any level of practice operations or clinical care. Every procedure utilizes surgical microscope magnification to ensure thoroughness impossible with naked eye examination. The GentleWave system reaches microscopic areas that conventional instruments cannot access effectively. Continuous education keeps our endodontist’s techniques current with latest endodontic research and technological advances that benefit patient care.
