Office Tour

Dr. Emmanuel Ngoh: I am Dr. Ngoh, originally from Cameroon, West Coast Africa, I came over here to go to school to get a degree in dentistry, and I did that after my dental degree. I chose to now specialize in endodontics. And after my specialty training, I decided to stay here in Augusta so I can serve the people of Augusta. When I told my mom that I was going to go in dentistry, she laughed at me and said, “Why would you want to go in dentistry? Because there’s no need.” I had a chance to study medicine. I did not like the hospital setting, but I saw there was a dentist that I shadowed and he really inspired me. And because of that, I decided to take on dentistry.

After four years of dental school, I went into endodontics. And this is a very unique specialty where you have to spend two or three years of advanced training to enable you to become an endodontist. And during that advanced training, you do more complex cases. You use advanced technology. Even beyond that, we have extra training in doing surgery, we have extra training in doing sedation, to do cases that really the general dentist cannot do.

At Augusta Endodontic Center, we have very unique services that we provide. The first service that we provide is just saving teeth through root canals. Patients are out there who are so scared of having treatment. Now we can provide that treatment in a comfortable and relaxing environment using sedation. But we have some of the best advanced technology here and that we can use to diagnose teeth problems or have issues that patients would have that we can diagnose these problems using advanced technology.

I enjoy what I do here in the office, doing root canals and treating patients, but I also enjoy my time away from the office. And that time I spend with my friends and family and we play golf. I have a passion for golf. I enjoy playing golf. And I also enjoy the fact that I can now go on mission trips and sometimes you’re the first dentist that they have ever seen in their lives. And it’s a way of me taking care of their dental needs. I love to do that. And when we started this practice, we had one mindset, and that is to make a difference. To make a difference amongst ourselves, make a difference for our patients and also in the community. If you look at the name of the practice, it doesn’t have my name on it because it is a team practice and we as a team, we now have this goal of helping patients to make a difference in their lives.
