Department of Endodontics at Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine

Cleveland has its share of dental schools. The Department of Endodontics at Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine operates from the main campus on Chester Avenue, a short walk from the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Specialized care doesn’t always require a private practice. Here, supervised students handle root canals, apicoectomies, and retreatments under faculty oversight. The clinic also manages traumatic dental injuries and performs vital pulp therapy, all within the School of Dental Medicine at 9501 Chester Ave, Cleveland, OH 44106. Patients trade higher fees for lower costs, while students gain hands-on experience.

Directions can be pulled from the map; the building sits across from the VA Medical Center, where the neighborhood shifts from academic to clinical. The area feels quiet on weekends, but weekdays hum with foot traffic between classes and appointments.

New patients should expect a longer visit—training takes time. To schedule, call (216) 368-3200; the line connects directly to the department’s front desk. No referral is mandatory, though some insurance plans may require one for coverage.
