Dr. Michael B Korzen, DDS, PC

Root canals aren’t anyone’s idea of fun. Dr. Michael B Korzen, DDS, PC keeps the process as precise as possible. The practice sits at 390 Crystal Run Rd in Middletown, a stretch of road lined with medical offices and the occasional diner. This isn’t a general dentist—it’s a specialty operation handling endodontic work, which means they focus on the inner layers of teeth, the nerves, the things that ache when ignored for too long.

Five-star ratings don’t come easy, especially with only five reviews to back them up. Still, the perfect score suggests a certain consistency in how they handle procedures like root canals, retreatment of failed cases, or diagnosing the kind of tooth pain that keeps people up at night. Cracked teeth, traumatic injuries, even the more obscure pulp-related issues—those fall under their scope. No one’s posting photos of the experience on Instagram, but the lack of complaints says something.

Questions about whether a tooth can be saved or if extraction is the only option? That’s the kind of thing they address over the phone at (845) 565-2010. Endodontists don’t deal in cleanings or whitening strips; their domain is the urgent, the inflamed, the structurally compromised. Referrals often come from general dentists who’ve hit the limit of what they can fix with a filling or a crown.

The building itself is unassuming, tucked between other professional suites in a part of Middletown that’s all business. For anyone mapping out the route, the directions place it just off the main drag, where Crystal Run Road meets the kind of traffic that’s heavy at shift changes but quiet by mid-morning.
