About

New York City Endodontics, located at 515 Madison Ave, Suite 715, New York, NY 10022, stands as a premier destination for specialized endodontic care in the heart of Manhattan. As part of City Endodontics PLLC, this practice is dedicated exclusively to endodontics, the branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating diseases of the dental pulp and surrounding tissues, with a primary mission to eliminate pain and save natural teeth. Our board-certified endodontists employ cutting-edge technology and a patient-centered approach to deliver exceptional outcomes, ensuring every patient receives high-quality, compassionate care in a welcoming environment.

While the broader Madison Dental Group traces its roots back to 1896, establishing a legacy of trusted dental services in New York City, New York City Endodontics represents a modern specialization within this historic continuum. The original Madison Dental Group practice has evolved over more than a century, moving locations—including to 515 Madison Avenue—and expanding services from comprehensive general dentistry to advanced specialties like endodontics. Today, at Suite 715, our endodontic specialists build on this foundation, offering state-of-the-art treatments tailored to urgent needs such as tooth pain, sensitivity, and trauma. Our commitment to excellence mirrors the group's longstanding reputation, but we distinguish ourselves through hyper-specialization in endodontics, utilizing tools like the endo microscope, advanced digital x-rays, and heat-treated files for precision that surpasses general practices.[1][2]

What truly sets New York City Endodontics apart is our unwavering focus on patient-focused treatments and innovation. Unlike general dentists who may refer out complex cases, our board-certified team handles all endodontic needs in-house, from routine root canals to intricate apicoectomy surgeries and retreatments. We pride ourselves on same-day and emergency appointments, recognizing that timely intervention is critical to preserving natural teeth and alleviating discomfort. Our modern, high-tech facility adheres to the highest standards set by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Dental Association (ADA), incorporating sedation dentistry for anxious patients and a systematic approach to case management, including specialized lectures on topics like cracked teeth.[2][3]

Expertise is at the core of our practice. Our endodontists, such as those highlighted by the ADA like Dr. Marcus Johnson, bring board certification and advanced training to every procedure. We are uniquely positioned as the premier practice for pediatric endodontic needs, providing root canals and pain management for children while training pediatric residents at One Brooklyn Hospital. This dual role as clinicians and educators underscores our leadership in the field. Patients are treated like family, educated on their options, and empowered with the best available treatments, ensuring not just relief but long-term oral health.[2]

Our unique value proposition lies in combining accessibility, technology, and personalized care. Located in a convenient Midtown Manhattan spot with public transit access, we accept major insurances like Delta Dental PPO and Premier, making specialized care attainable. Evening and weekend hours accommodate busy schedules, and our emphasis on minimally invasive techniques—like using the endo microscope for deep access—minimizes recovery time, allowing most patients to return to work the same day. In an era where tooth loss is often avoidable, we stand apart by prioritizing tooth preservation over extraction, backed by a passion for results that exceed expectations.[3][4]

At New York City Endodontics, we don't just treat teeth; we restore confidence and comfort. Whether facing acute pain from a cracked tooth or requiring retreatment of a failed procedure, trust our specialists to deliver precision, empathy, and excellence. Join the countless patients who've experienced pain-free smiles through our care—because saving your natural teeth is our sole dedication. With a legacy rooted in over 125 years of NYC dental heritage and a forward-looking approach to endodontics, we invite you to discover why we are New York City's endodontic specialists of choice.

Is it weird to say I enjoyed my root canal? Joke aside, Dr. George Ilenikhena and the staff at NYC Endodontics are very nice, helpful, and quick to respond to inquiries. Dr. Ilenikhena is very professional and was able to calm any fears I had going into the procedure. He explained the entire process -- taking me step by step during the procedure,  answered my questions thoroughly, and made sure I felt at ease with his calm demeanor. I highly recommend this office if you need an endodontist and the building they're located in is stunning!

New York City Endodontics maintains an excellent practice. I was seen immediately after my dentist called them, and treated knowledgeably and courteously. The endodontist obviously knew his stuff, and took the time to conduct a thorough clinical examination and explain in detail what was wrong (a fractured root, as my dentist suspected) and how I should proceed (unfortunately, with an extraction followed by a bridge or an implant). He based his conclusions in large measure on a full-mouth scan with what appeared to be a sophisticated machine. The staff at the front desk and the assistant who guided me through the scan (it's not intuitive) were patient-oriented and warm. Altogether, a first-rate practice!

Dr. Browne has excellent bedside manner and immediately put me at ease. I had been anxious about a prior diagnosis that I needed a root canal, but after careful testing and precise imaging, Dr. Browne diagnosed that it wasn’t needed. His reasoning made sense and aligned with my own intuition and research, which gave me real peace of mind. He has a friendly and attentive staff. I had a great experience there and I highly recommend him.

Had my first root canal with Dr. George. For something that sounds so scary, I was pleasantly surprised how painless and quick it was. I have waited a week since then to make review. Dr. George was very professional and explained all the steps during the process. I almost forgot I had a root canal later that day and almost ate something hard! Had no pain afterwards. Will come back to him if I unfortunately need another one!

I’d give more stars if possible. From the very friendly front desk staff and assistant to the highly competent endodontic specialist, I couldn’t be more pleased with the care I received. Dr George handled my complicated procedure with great skill and professionalism. He fully explained everything as he went along and I had almost no discomfort.
