Jay Solnit, D.D.S.

Root canals don’t have to feel like a last resort. When the nerve inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected, an endodontist specializes in saving the tooth rather than removing it. These procedures—root canal therapy, retreatment, apicoectomy, and emergency pulp care—are routine for specialists but can feel anything but routine to the patient in the chair.

On North Camden Drive, just off Wilshire Boulevard, Jay Solnit, D.D.S. occupies suite 950 at 414 N Camden Dr. The building sits in a stretch of Beverly Hills where medical offices share sidewalks with boutiques and cafés, a neighborhood where the scent of jasmine mixes with the hum of weekday traffic. Patients arrive from nearby ZIP codes and sometimes from farther afield, drawn by the concentration of dental specialists clustered around the Golden Triangle.

Inside the suite, the practice focuses on procedures most general dentists refer out: initial root canals, retreatments when previous work fails, surgical apicoectomies to remove infected tips of roots, and emergency interventions for sudden pulp pain. Each case begins with a diagnostic exam and digital imaging, tools that help map the tooth’s internal anatomy before any treatment starts.
