Endodontic Associates

What Endodontic Associates does

Endodontic Associates is a private dental specialty practice dedicated exclusively to endodontic care, operating two offices in Centennial and Littleton, Colorado within the south Denver metropolitan area. The practice provides root canal therapy, endodontic retreatment, apicoectomy (endodontic microsurgery), cracked tooth treatment, traumatic dental injury treatment, and root resorption management. Care is delivered by four endodontic specialists: Dr. Perri Carnes, Dr. Tim Hubble, Dr. Anita Hoelscher, and Dr. Hyun Jin Yoon. The Centennial office has operated from the Foxridge Medical building since 1995, with a second Littleton location added in 1998 to extend geographic coverage into central Littleton, Lakewood, Ken Caryl, and southwest Denver.

The practice is built around an advanced clinical technology stack deployed in every operatory: Carl Zeiss surgical microscopes providing up to 25x magnification, a small-volume Cone Beam CT scanner for 3D diagnostic imaging, digital radiography with up to 90% lower radiation than conventional x-rays, The Wand computer-controlled anesthesia delivery system, Nickel Titanium rotary files for canal shaping, an electronic apex locator (Root ZX), and an electric pulp tester. The practice is in-network with nine major dental insurers including Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Aetna, Humana, United Healthcare, Guardian, and Assurant, and generates revenue on a fee-for-service basis per procedure, with published pricing ranging from $49 for an intraoral x-ray to $2,204 for molar retreatments and $1,922 for molar apicoectomies. A 7% discount is offered for cash/check/credit payments from uninsured patients.

Endodontic Associates operates a sales-led, referral-driven go-to-market with primary patient acquisition through approximately 10 long-standing referring dental practices (some relationships exceeding 20 years) supplemented by self-referred patients, emergency walk-ins, and same-day appointments. The practice has expanded into organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) and offers online registration and scheduling to support direct patient intake. Dr. Anita Hoelscher holds Diplomate status from the American Board of Endodontics, and the practice has been recognized as a 5280 Top Dentist. The business is independently owned by its four specialist partners with no disclosed private equity, venture capital, or parent company ownership.

Products and services

• Root Canal Therapy Non-surgical endodontic treatment that removes diseased pulp tissue, thoroughly cleans and seals the root canal system to save the natural tooth and prevent the need for dental implants or bridges; performed on infected or inflamed teeth caused by deep decay, trauma, cracks, or repeated dental procedures. Indicated for any patient with pulpal infection or irreversible pulpitis, typically referred by a general dentist.
• Endodontic Retreatment Secondary root canal procedure performed when initial treatment fails to heal or pain persists months or years after the original treatment. Involves reopening the tooth, removing the previous filling material, and recleaning the canals before resealing. Indicated for patients with persistent or recurrent endodontic infection after a prior root canal.
• Apicoectomy (Endodontic Microsurgery) Surgical endodontic procedure in which an incision is made in the gum tissue to expose underlying bone and inflamed tissue, the damaged tissue and root tip are removed, a root-end filling is placed to prevent reinfection, and the gum is sutured. Indicated for patients with persistent infection or pathology that cannot be resolved with non-surgical root canal treatment or retreatment.
• Cracked Teeth Treatment Diagnosis and treatment of various tooth crack patterns including craze lines, fractured cusps, treatable cracked teeth, split teeth, and vertical root fractures. Frequently involves root canal treatment and sometimes extraction, depending on crack type and extent. Indicated for patients presenting with cracked-tooth symptoms referred by a general dentist.
• Traumatic Dental Injuries Treatment Specialist treatment for dislodged teeth, avulsed (knocked-out) teeth, and injuries to immature permanent teeth in children, including apexogenesis and apexification procedures aimed at preserving tooth vitality and root development. Indicated for emergency dental trauma cases.
• Root Resorption Treatment Treatment for root resorption, a process in which the body breaks down and absorbs tissue surrounding a tooth, including external cervical resorption (ECR) and internal resorption. Delivered by endodontic specialists to preserve the affected tooth where possible.
• Oral Sedation (Halcion) Anxiolysis sedation service using oral Halcion prior to endodontic treatment, requiring pre-operative fasting and a responsible companion for transportation, with post-operative restrictions on driving and operating machinery for 12 hours. Indicated for patients with dental anxiety undergoing endodontic procedures.
