Dentists Referring Patients for Root Canal Treatment in August GA
Video Transcript
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 into dentistry, she laughed at me and said why would you want to go into 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 dentists cannot do. At Augusta Endodontic Center we have very unique services that we provide. The first service that we provide is just sedative through root canals. Patients are out there who are so scared of having treatment now we can now provide that treatment in a comfortable and relaxing environment using sedation. We have some of the best advanced technology here now that we can use to diagnose teeth problems or have issues that patients would have where we can diagnose these problems using the 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 time with my friends and family and we play golf. I have a passion for golf, I enjoy playing golf and also I enjoy the fact that I can now go on mission trips and sometimes you’re the first dentist that they see in their lives and it’s a way of me taking care of their dental needs. And I love to do that. This year marks the 20th anniversary of our practice and when we started this practice we have one mindset, and that is to make a difference. To make a difference in 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’s a team practice and we as a team we now have this goal of helping patients to make a difference in their lives.
At Augusta Endodontic Center, our goal is to please both you and your patients. We continually reinforce and emphasize your integrity and value as the case leader. They will return to you with a new appreciation of your care.
We will not do the treatment without a commitment from the patient to come back to you for the complete restoration. (We’ll fail in our treatment if the tooth is not restored.)
Our policy for your emergency patients is, “Send them right over!”
We focus on the patient’s comfort and comprehensive treatment until they return to your care. Dr. Ngoh provides local anesthetic and conscious sedation for your patients’ comfort. He has focused his efforts on providing a painless procedure for your patients by using the Comfort Control Syringe.
We look forward to working with our referring dentists and helping your patients get out of pain.
We use Digital Radiography whereby your patients are exposed to 90% less radiation with computer enhanced stored images. Dr. Ngoh also utilizes the 3D Cone Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT) that produces high-resolution, precise images that enable him to make more informed diagnoses and better identify areas that are in need of treatment.
We use the surgical microscope, which is one of the biggest advancements in Endodontics. The surgical microscope and microsurgical instruments allow us to be more precise than ever before, advancing our already high rate of success in Endodontics.
Five-star customer service is the Hallmark of our office. We strive to make every patient visit pleasant and uplifting in a Christ-centered environment.
Our fees are fair, reasonable and affordable. We are committed to finding the right payment option to meet your patient’s budget. We will bend over backward for your patients who are serious about saving their teeth.
