Dr. Andrea Tory-Godlew

Root canals don’t have to mean a long drive across the county. Canton Township has its own specialist for saving teeth that might otherwise be lost. Dr. Andrea Tory-Godlew focuses on the inner structures of teeth—nerves, blood vessels, and the pulp that keeps them alive.

The practice sits at 45185 Joy Rd # 102, a low-slung office park just off I-275 where the suburban grid gives way to wider lots and quiet side streets. Endodontists typically handle cases that general dentists refer out: cracked teeth, deep decay, or abscesses that need precise treatment rather than extraction. Patients arrive here after a referral, often with a specific problem already diagnosed.

Common procedures include retreatment of previous root canals, surgical apicoectomies, and emergency care for traumatic injuries. Some visits last only an hour; others require multiple appointments depending on the complexity of the canals. A call to (734) 366-3661 will confirm availability and insurance participation before the first visit.

Directions are straightforward on most mapping apps, but the exact suite can be easy to miss among the identical facades. A quick check of the map ensures you park in front of the right door. Once inside, the focus stays on the procedure itself—not the surroundings.
