Dr. Michael Reynolds

Endodontics isn’t the kind of specialty most people think about until they need it—usually when a toothache won’t quit or a root canal becomes inevitable. Dr. Michael Reynolds practices in Burnsville, where the intersection of Nicollet Boulevard and County Road 42 puts his office within easy reach of both downtown and the southern suburbs. The third-floor suite at 625 E Nicollet Blvd Suite 340 sits above the hustle of street-level traffic, a quiet contrast to the urgent discomfort that often brings patients through the door. Root canals, traumatic dental injuries, and complex internal tooth procedures are the bread and butter here, though the work itself is anything but routine.

Most general dentists refer out when a case involves the finer points of pulp therapy or microsurgery, and that’s where an endodontist steps in. Whether it’s diagnosing the source of persistent pain, retreating a failed procedure, or salvaging a cracked tooth that might otherwise be extracted, the goal is straightforward: preserve what’s left of the natural tooth. Patients calling to schedule—(952) 435-0370 is the number—often do so after a referral, though self-referrals aren’t uncommon when the pain becomes unbearable. The process starts with a consultation, followed by whatever precise (and often pain-relieving) intervention the situation demands.

Burnsville’s mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial strips means this practice serves everyone from retirees in nearby Apple Valley to younger families along the Minnesota River valley. If you’re mapping the route, the directions place the office just east of I-35W, where parking is plentiful but the real relief comes after the procedure. Few people leave an endodontist’s chair talking about the experience—but they do leave with one less thing to worry about.
