Cape Fear Endodontics Reviews
Very personable and thorough about the procedure I was having done. Made me very comfortable, and made it easy for me to relax without any medications. Better experience than I imagined.
Dr. Mihle is a very courteous and knowledgeable endodontist. His staff is also top notch. I would recommend his services to all patients needing his speciality.
Professional and transparent in all respects. My first root canal was easier than the anxiety I was feeling.
Everybody was professional and attentive to details. Dr Mihle walked me through the entire process and gave me my options. This was probably my third or fourth visit, and I've been satisfied each visit. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your office.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does tooth resorption repair take?
The length of tooth resorption repair treatment varies based on the severity and location of the damage. In many cases, treatment can be completed in one appointment. More complex cases involving advanced root resorption or significant infection may require additional time to ensure thorough cleaning and sealing of the tooth. At Cape Fear Endodontics, our team carefully evaluates each case to provide efficient and precise care while maintaining the highest standards of endodontic treatment.
Is tooth resorption repair painful?
Most patients are concerned about discomfort during tooth resorption treatment, but the procedure is performed using local anesthesia to keep the area numb throughout treatment. At Cape Fear Endodontics in Wilmington, NC, our team focuses on patient comfort while addressing the underlying tooth root resorption. Because resorption often involves inflamed or infected tissue, treatment is designed to relieve pressure and discomfort rather than cause it. Patients typically feel pressure but not sharp pain while the affected portion of the tooth is being cleaned and repaired.
Why is early intervention important?
Addressing tooth resorption repair in Wilmington, NC promptly helps limit structural damage and prevent further progression of the condition. During treatment, our team focuses on removing active resorptive tissue before it weakens the tooth further or leads to significant infection. Early intervention improves the likelihood of preserving the natural tooth and avoiding more invasive procedures. By treating the issue during its active phase, we can stabilize the tooth and restore function with greater predictability.
