About me
About Angel Ognemirov, endodontist for Northampton
A single field of dentistry, practised thoroughly: establishing what has gone wrong inside a tooth and treating it well enough that the tooth can be kept. Diagnosis confirmed by testing, the microscope on every case, a frank written opinion on each tooth — and a particular welcome for anyone who has been avoiding the dentist.

Why endodontics alone
Root canal treatment does not tolerate shortcuts. The canals are minute, no two teeth are built alike and the gap between a root filling that lasts for decades and one that fails within a couple of years is frequently a single canal nobody found. Making this the whole of a clinical career means the operating microscope, the ultrasonic and electronic instruments and the long appointments it demands are simply how things are done — and the difficult cases come along often enough to hold no surprises.
Your own dentist stays your dentist. They continue your routine care and restore the tooth once Angel has treated it, and they receive a report with X-rays and recommendations so that both parts of your care fit together.
How appointments with Angel run
- Testing comes first. Cold and bite tests and the right X-rays precede any recommendation. If the tooth does not need root canal treatment, you will be told so.
- Everything in writing. Diagnosis, proposed treatment, realistic outlook and fee are set down after the consultation, and the decision is made at your pace.
- The microscope as routine. Used for every treatment and retreatment, never kept back for the hard cases only.
- Current technique. Rubber dam isolation, electronic length measurement, ultrasonic activation of the irrigants and modern sealing materials are standard.
- Time built in. Appointments are long enough to finish properly, usually in a single visit.
- Candour. You will understand what is wrong, what will be done and what to expect — including when the honest answer is that a tooth cannot be saved.
Nervous patients
Many people who need endodontic treatment have avoided the dentist for years, or dread the words "root canal" because of one bad experience long ago. Angel has made their care a deliberate part of his work. Say so when you book and the appointment is planned around you: a full explanation first, anaesthetic tested before anything starts, a signal to pause at any moment and breaks whenever you want them. He has also completed training in oral and intravenous dental sedation at Guy's Hospital in London, so whether sedation would help is something to discuss at your consultation.

Fees
Because every tooth is different there is no single price for "a root canal". The fee for your tooth is confirmed in your written plan after the consultation and before treatment begins, and it does not change part-way through.
