Curtis Jr Paul DDS

Root canals aren’t exactly the highlight of anyone’s week, but when the need arises, specialty care makes a difference. Endodontics focuses solely on diagnosing tooth pain, performing root canal therapy, and handling complex cases involving the inner tooth—no general dentistry detours. For Jonesboro residents, that specialized attention is available at Curtis Jr Paul DDS, where the practice centers on treatments like apical surgeries, traumatic dental injuries, and internal bleaching when standard procedures aren’t enough.

The office sits at 2804 E Matthews Ave, a stretch of Jonesboro that blends medical offices with quiet residential pockets. This isn’t a general dentist’s suite; endodontists train for years beyond dental school to manage intricate procedures—think retreating a failed root canal or pinpointing cracks invisible to standard X-rays. While most dentists refer out for these cases, a dedicated endodontic practice means equipment and expertise are already in place.

Questions about whether a tooth can be saved—or if extraction is the only path—often lead patients here. The practice fields calls about everything from persistent pain after a filling to diagnosing why a tooth darkens years after trauma. For direct answers, the phone line is open; reach them at 870-932-2626 to discuss symptoms or scheduling. No referrals are strictly required, though many arrive with one from their general dentist.

First visits typically start with 3D imaging to map the tooth’s internal structure—something standard dental X-rays can’t match. If you’re plotting the route, the map places the office just east of the Craighead Forest Park area, where Matthews Avenue cuts through a mix of healthcare providers and tree-lined streets. The goal, as with any specialty care, is precision—not just relief, but a clear plan for keeping the tooth functional.
