Coastal Endodontics

What Coastal Endodontics does

Coastal Endodontics is a private, for-profit endodontic specialty dental practice operating in Coastal Georgia, founded in 2005 by Dr. Christopher Lea. The company provides root canal therapy, laser endodontics, endodontic retreatment, microsurgeries (apicoectomy, root amputations, bone grafting), traumatic injury treatment, and cracked tooth diagnosis. It serves individual patients referred by general dentists in the region, with three endodontists (Dr. Lea, Dr. Ferreira, Dr. Lindsey) — all with US military dental backgrounds — performing an average of 25 or more root canal treatments per week per provider.

The practice operates from three physical locations: Richmond Hill (10220 Ford Avenue), Hinesville (111 East Mills Avenue), and St. Simons Island (1804 Frederica Rd), serving Richmond Hill, Liberty County, and the greater Coastal Georgia region including Savannah. Its technology stack centers on advanced endodontic equipment: 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) at each site, Carl Zeiss surgical microscopes for all procedures, LightWalker Er:YAG laser with PIPS (Photon Induced Photo-acoustic Streaming) technology, Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA), electric apex locators, digital radiography, ultrasonic instruments, and AtmosAir bi-polar ionization air purification. The practice was the first dental office in Coastal Georgia to deploy AtmosAir air purification.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service endodontic procedures paid at time of service, supplemented by reimbursements from seven insurance networks (Careington, GEHA, Guardian, LHI, United Concordia Elite, United Concordia ADDP, and Veteran Affairs). Patient financing is offered via Cherry Payment Plan and CareCredit, with online bill payment through iposPays. The go-to-market model is referral-driven: general dentists use printable or online referral forms, and the practice returns treatment reports and X-rays to referring providers. Direct patient acquisition is supplemented through Facebook, Google Business, and Yelp listings, plus an educational website with procedure content. The practice also offers bilingual Spanish-language patient services, indicating attention to a specific demographic in the region.

Products and services

• Root Canal Therapy Primary endodontic procedure that removes damaged or diseased pulp tissue from inside the tooth, disinfects the canal system, and seals it with gutta-percha to save the natural tooth; typically completed in 1-2 visits with 48-hour healing and a 95% success rate.
• Laser Endodontics (PIPS) Laser-based endodontic treatment using Er:YAG laser to create photo-acoustic shock waves that thoroughly clean dentin tubules and lateral canals for improved disinfection.
• Endodontic Retreatment Secondary root canal treatment performed when an initial treatment fails to heal properly or pain persists months or years after the original procedure.
• Apicoectomy Microsurgical procedure that removes the tip of a tooth root and surrounding inflamed tissue, followed by a root-end filling to prevent reinfection.
• Root Amputations Surgical removal of an unhealthy root from a multi-rooted tooth while preserving the remaining healthy roots, performed under microscope.
• Traumatic Dental Injury Treatment Treatment for avulsed (knocked out) and dislodged teeth including tooth reinsertion, splinting, and follow-up endodontic therapy.
• Cracked Teeth Diagnosis and Treatment Diagnosis and treatment of various tooth crack types including craze lines, fractured cusps, treatable cracks, split teeth, and vertical root fractures.
