Dr. Jeff Marderosian

Root canals aren’t anyone’s idea of a good time, but when the need arises, finding a specialist who focuses solely on the procedure can make a difference. Dr. Jeff Marderosian operates an endodontic practice in Clinton Township, handling everything from routine pulp therapy to more complex surgical retreatment. The office at 16151 19 Mile Rd sits along a stretch of road dotted with medical offices and strip malls, a practical location for patients coming from Macomb County or the northern Detroit suburbs. Unlike general dentists, endodontists train exclusively in diagnosing tooth pain and performing procedures aimed at saving natural teeth—no fillings or cleanings here, just targeted care for infected or damaged pulp.

Most referrals to an endodontist start with a persistent toothache or a cracked tooth, the kind of issue that won’t resolve with over-the-counter painkillers. Patients calling (586) 286-7001 can expect to discuss symptoms like prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, swelling, or discomfort when biting—classic signs that the nerve inside a tooth may be compromised. While general dentists can perform root canals, specialists like Marderosian often take on cases involving unusual anatomy, calcified canals, or teeth that have already undergone prior treatment. The focus remains on precision, using microscopes and digital imaging to navigate the tiny, intricate spaces inside a tooth.

Clinton Township’s mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial hubs means the practice draws from a broad area, including nearby Sterling Heights and Mount Clemens. For those mapping out their visit, the office is a short drive from the intersection of 19 Mile and Garfield Roads. First-time patients might want to check the directions ahead of time—the building shares its plaza with a handful of other businesses, so the entrance can blend into the strip if you’re not looking closely.
