About
Dr. Marcus D. Johnson, DDS, leads City Endodontics PLLC, a premier endodontic practice located at 30 E 40th St #607, New York, NY 10016, delivering exceptional specialized dental care in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. Founded by Dr. Johnson, a Denver, Colorado native who pursued his lifelong dream of dentistry by heading east, the practice embodies his motto 'Lift as you climb,' reflecting a profound commitment to patient care, community service, and professional excellence. A Rutgers University alumnus and graduate of New York University Dental School, Dr. Johnson advanced his expertise with a Certificate of Endodontics and a Master’s Degree in Science in Dentistry from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. His intellectual and progressive approach to endodontics earned him a prestigious award in 2011 from the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) for innovative research on new treatment techniques, solidifying his reputation as an evidence-based clinician at the forefront of the field.[1][3]
City Endodontics PLLC stands out as New York City's endodontic specialists, exclusively focused on eliminating pain and saving natural teeth through patient-centered treatments. The practice's mission is to provide the highest standards of oral care, utilizing cutting-edge technology and adhering to guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and American Dental Association (ADA). What truly sets this practice apart is its unique blend of advanced clinical expertise, educational leadership, and a welcoming, family-like environment. Dr. Johnson, a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics, serves as the directing endodontic attending at Interfaith Medical Center (now part of One Brooklyn Hospital) in Brooklyn, where he lectures, teaches dental residents, and manages dental trauma emergencies. He is also a key opinion leader and official speaker for Coltene, a leading dental equipment manufacturer, delivering national and international lectures on endodontic trends, products, and continuing education courses.[1][2][3]
In 2023, City Endodontics expanded into a state-of-the-art five-chair treatment and educational center, incorporating the latest technologies such as lasers and integrated nitrous supply directly from treatment chairs. This facility not only serves patients but doubles as a hub for hands-on instruction, hosting the New York City Endodontics (NYCE) study club and continuing education programs, making it a beacon for professional development in the region.[5] The practice's unique value proposition lies in its comprehensive approach: board-certified specialists trained in managing both adult and pediatric endodontic needs, including root canals for children, with training provided to pediatric residents at One Brooklyn Hospital. Patients benefit from same-day and emergency appointments, in-person and phone consultations, and custom treatment plans that prioritize education and predictable outcomes.[2][6]
Dr. Johnson's community involvement elevates the practice beyond typical endodontics. He founded Operation Dental Success, lecturing to local middle school students on dental careers and oral hygiene, and participates in the ADA’s Give Kids a Smile program. Internationally, he volunteered in Jamaica with NYU, providing free care to underserved communities. Domestically, his 'Lift as We Climb' initiative, funded by the AAE Foundation, delivers endodontic care to underserved patients through volunteer days at One Brooklyn Hospital.[5] As President of the New York State Association of Endodontists and a Director on the AAE Board for District II (Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island), he champions organized dentistry at local, state, and national levels. Selected as a 2017 AAE Leadership Development Participant, he hosts the Endo Voices podcast, further disseminating knowledge.[3]

Over eight years of experience, the practice has built a reputation for high-quality, pain-free treatments in a modern, high-tech office where excellence is the standard. Whether addressing cracked teeth with systematic approaches or using heat-treated files and Zoom lectures for education, Dr. Johnson and his team treat every patient like family, combining clinical precision with genuine compassion. This holistic dedication to saving teeth, advancing the profession, and uplifting communities distinguishes City Endodontics PLLC as Manhattan's go-to endodontic destination.[1][2][3][5][6]
