About

Buffalo Niagara Endodontics, P.C., located at 5353 Main Street in the heart of Williamsville, New York, stands as a premier specialist practice dedicated exclusively to the art and science of endodontics. Founded and led by Dr. Mark D. Moog, the practice has established itself as a trusted referral destination for general dentists and patients throughout the Buffalo-Niagara region and Western New York. The core mission of Buffalo Niagara Endodontics is to provide exceptional, predictable, and compassionate endodontic care in a comfortable, state-of-the-art environment, alleviating dental pain and preserving natural teeth through advanced microscopic treatment. The practice operates on the fundamental belief that saving a natural tooth is almost always the best option for a patient's long-term oral health, function, and aesthetics.

Dr. Mark Moog, a Williamsville native, brings a profound depth of expertise and local commitment to the practice. After earning his dental degree and completing his rigorous endodontic residency, he returned to his hometown to establish this center of excellence. The practice's history is one of continuous investment in technology and education. From its inception, Buffalo Niagara Endodontics has been built around the operating microscope, which is not merely a tool but the cornerstone of every procedure. This commitment to magnification and illumination allows for a level of diagnostic and technical precision that defines modern endodontics, enabling the treatment of complex canal anatomy, minute fractures, and previous treatment failures that were once considered untreatable.

What truly sets Buffalo Niagara Endodontics apart is its singular focus on specialized care within a patient-centric framework. As a specialist practice, every resource, piece of equipment, and minute of clinical time is dedicated to endodontic therapy. This specialization translates into unparalleled efficiency and expertise. The practice is equipped with the latest generation of digital imaging, including high-resolution 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). This technology provides a three-dimensional view of the tooth, surrounding bone, and critical anatomy, allowing for accurate diagnosis, precise treatment planning, and safer, more predictable outcomes, particularly for complex cases like retreatments, surgeries, and teeth with unusual anatomy.

The expertise at Buffalo Niagara Endodontics extends beyond technology to a philosophy of compassionate communication. Understanding that a referral to a specialist can be a source of anxiety, Dr. Moog and his team prioritize clear, empathetic dialogue. Every patient receives a thorough consultation where diagnoses are explained in understandable terms, all treatment options are reviewed, and questions are answered patiently. The office environment in Williamsville is deliberately designed to be calming and welcoming, from the courteous administrative staff who handle scheduling and insurance to the gentle, skilled clinical assistants who provide support throughout the procedure. The practice utilizes modern anesthetic techniques and sedation options to ensure patient comfort, making the experience as pain-free and stress-free as possible.

Buffalo Niagara Endodontics' unique value proposition is this powerful combination of deep sub-specialty expertise, cutting-edge technology, and genuine, personalized care. The practice serves as a true partner to the referring dental community, providing detailed communications and radiographs post-treatment to ensure seamless continuity of care. Dr. Moog's active involvement in professional organizations and ongoing education ensures the practice remains at the forefront of endodontic innovation. For patients, this means receiving care that is not only highly technical and successful but also delivered with a personal touch that acknowledges their individual needs and concerns. In a field where precision is paramount, Buffalo Niagara Endodontics has distinguished itself as a regional leader by consistently delivering outcomes that save teeth, relieve pain, and uphold the highest standards of specialized dental medicine.

I was told that I needed a root canal by a different dentist and I was referred to Dr. Shostad. She was very kind and had a great bedside manner. It turned out that my tooth actually had a crack and that I was not able to get a root canal done, but instead I needed an extraction. I was not at all expecting to hear this and I was extremely upset upon the news. Dr. Shostad was incredibly sympathetic and had a great sense of humor at the same time with the difficult situation. I appreciate that she didn’t continue with the procedure knowing that it would not fix my issue. This was almost 2 years ago and I am extremely grateful for her kindness. I would highly recommend her.

Dr. Shostad is absolutely wonderful! Explained every step of the root canal from start to finish, warned me before she was about to begin the painful parts (no part of the procedure was painful because she was fantastic!) and carried a witty sense of humor throughout the process that helped ease some of the tension that the procedure might've caused. Her feedback and suggestions were very welcomed, and she called me the evening after the procedure to check up on me. I honestly cannot give her enough stars! Would advise anyone who needs a root canal to see her!

Dr Shostad made getting a root canal enjoyable. Her sense of rumor was greatly appreciated and her care showed right away. She even called me from her personal cell later that night to see how our tooth was doing and to see if I had any bald spots in my beard.

Bruh!🥹 Dr. Shostad and her staff are the bees knees🤗. She is such a kind, caring, and compassionate provider and I’m thankful to have met her. She’s hilarious too! My experience having a root canal with her was 10/10. While I do not have dental anxiety, I recommend anyone who does and needs a root canal to see her. She listens and will do her best to put you at ease. She explained the process step by step and consistently asked if I was in pain during the procedure. She even followed up with me later on that same evening to make sure I was ok. If I could get a root canal every day just to see her I would😊 I sincerely mean it. Thank you again Dr. Shostad!

Starting with the very first encounter over the phone with the older sounding, receptionist, I knew I wouldn’t book an appointment with this place! She talked to me like a complete child & she was extremely rude!!! & you want me to come in & spend hundreds & hundreds of dollars with people who don’t even know how to greet people on the phone? Absolutely not!
