Endodontic Referrals

I’m Dr Miroslav Yakimov. The principal dentist at TOOTHOPIA since 2022, I have special interest in endodontics and am currently undergoing an MSc in Endodontology programme ran by Simplyendo and the University of Chester.

    I use a dental microscope and other enhanced endodontic equipment, which allows me to complete every treatment with precision. Within the next 4 years, my goal is to re-focus my clinical practice entirely on endodontics. I would be happy to receive referrals for non-surgical Endodontic treatment that meet the following criteria:

Level 1 Complexity – Routine

Diagnosis and management of patients with uncomplicated Endodontic treatment need, including but not limited to:

• Root canals with a curvature <30o to root axis and considered negotiable (i.e., canal(s) not sclerosed or 25+mm long) from radiographic evidence, through their entire length

• No root canal obstruction or damaged access, e.g. (near) perforation

• Previously treated teeth with a poorly compacted root filling, short of the optimal working length, with evidence of likely canal patency beyond the root filling

• Pulp extirpation or incision and drainage as an emergency treatment

• Straightforward re-treatment of poorly compacted and retrievable root fillings

Level 2 Complexity – Moderately Difficult

The management of Endodontic problems including:

• Root canal curvature >30º

• Locating and negotiating canals NOT radiographically evident (sclerosed) in the coronal 1/3 but appears patent thereafter.

• Treatment may include the removal of short posts / fractured posts (less than 8mm in length) with bypass restricted only to the coronal portion of the root canal.

• Correction of moderately complex iatrogenic technical problems in location, negotiation, instrumentation, disinfection (persistent infection/symptoms) and obturation

• Teeth with anticipated working length > 25mm when accompanied by narrowness and curvature <30°

• Molar tooth Endodontic treatment is accompanied by limitation of mouth opening (between 25mm and 35mm inter-incisal opening)

• Incomplete root development and management of dental trauma

All patients will need an initial consultation at the cost of £60 (including x-rays). Prices exclude restoration.

Should we decide to go ahead with the treatment, my fees are as follows:
