Root Canal Treatment
Done at the Highest Level

You’ve been told you need a root canal. Now you get to decide where.
Beverly Hills Dentistry offers specialist-level endodontic care — precise, comfortable, and built to save your tooth for life.

Most people fear a root canal because of what they’ve heard. The reality? With the right specialist, the right technology, and the right team, it is one of the most effective, comfortable procedures in modern dentistry.

WHY BEVERLY HILLS DENTISTRY

You Deserve More Than
Just Getting It Done.

A root canal at a general practice and one performed by a dedicated specialist are two very different experiences. At Beverly Hills
Dentistry, you get a USC-trained endodontist, advanced laser technology, and 40+ years of excellence.

DEDICATED SPECIALIST

Dr. Payam Shaaf is a USC-trained endodontist — not a general dentist performing root canals between other appointments. Endodontics is his sole
focus.

LASER-ASSISTED DISINFECTION

The most critical step in any root canal is thorough disinfection. We use laser therapy to eliminate bacteria at the microbial level — far beyond irrigation alone.

COMFORT FIRST

We know this is the appointment most people fear. Our protocols — from precision anesthesia to clear communication — are designed to be calm and pain-free.
WHAT TO EXPECT

A Clear Process.
No Surprises.

One of the biggest sources of anxiety is simply not knowing what’s coming. Here is what your experience looks like from start to finish.

Built for Patient Comfort

TECHNOLOGY & TECHNIQUE

The Technology Behind
Every Saved Tooth.

Most root canal failures trace back to incomplete disinfection. Bacteria left in the canal system can re-infect the tooth — eventually leading to failure and extraction.
At Beverly Hills Dentistry we invest in tools that eliminate that risk, giving your tooth the best possible chance at a long, healthy life.

CONDITIONS WE TREAT

When a Tooth Needs
More Than a Filling.

If you’ve been told you need any of the following, Beverly Hills Dentistry is where you want to be.

INFECTED TOOTH PULP

When decay or trauma reaches the inner pulp, infection sets in. Root canal therapy removes infected tissue, eliminates bacteria, and preserves the tooth structure.

CRACKED TOOTH SYNDROME

Cracks extending into the pulp cause pain that is difficult to diagnose and impossible to treat with a filling. Dr. Shaaf specializes in identifying and treating cracked teeth at
every stage.

ENDODONTIC RETREATMENT

A previously treated root canal that has re-infected requires specialist retreatment. Dr. Shaaf's training and technology make even complex retreatment cases highly predictable.

MEET YOUR ENDODONTIST

Dr. Payam “Peter” Shaaf
DDS · ENDODONTIST · USC HERMAN OSTROW SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY

Before specializing in endodontics, Dr. Shaaf spent years as a general dentist — gaining hands-on experience across every area of patient care. That background gives him a complete understanding of how a tooth fits into the bigger picture of overall oral health.

Trained at USC’s Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry, Dr. Shaaf brings precision, efficiency, and a calm chairside manner to every case. He knows this is the appointment most patients have been dreading — and he takes that seriously.
