Dr. George Koch

Dr. George Koch focuses on endodontics—the branch that handles the innermost tissues of teeth. Teeth with deep infections or lingering pain often need this kind of specialized care. The office is a short walk from Central Square’s bus lines, tucked between cafes and software startups on White Street. Root canals, retreatment, and internal bleaching fall under this category of precise micro-surgery. Saving natural teeth is the preferred outcome when other options like implants come with longer timelines.

At 19 White St Cambridge, MA 02140, the building sits two blocks from the MTA Red Line exit. Patients who need emergency palliative care can sometimes walk over from the nearby co-working spaces. Apicoectomy and dental trauma management round out the clinic’s narrower focus. Cases that involve microscopic cleaning inside tiny canals are handled with optical magnification tools. Skilled hands and confined procedures define this corner of dentistry.

Appointment timing varies by complexity, and acute flare-ups get prioritized slots when possible. Whether nerve damage lingers post-trauma or calcification blocks standard treatment, this is the place to route second opinions. Referrals from general dentists arrive by email and fax; self-referrals receive a screening call to confirm appropriateness. Root-end resection and MTA plug placement are on the roster too. Blunt-force injuries to anterior teeth keep endodontists busy; every cracked root demands immediate attention.

Reach the office by phone: (617) 354-3300. Those mapping the route can cue the Google Maps listing with the full address already pre-filled. The exterior entrance is flush with the sidewalk, so no winding alleys or buzzer puzzles complicate arrivals. This endodontic niche sees fewer walk-ins, so calling ahead remains the cleanest way to line up care without detours.
