Andy Kalman, DDS, DMD

Most dental visits end after a cleaning or filling, but some problems run deeper. Root canals, cracked teeth, and persistent infections often require a specialist—an endodontist. Along Austin Highway, near the intersection with Harry Wurzbach, Andy Kalman, DDS, DMD handles cases where general dentistry reaches its limits. This isn’t the place for routine checkups; it’s where complex tooth pain, traumatic dental injuries, and retreatment of prior root canals get addressed with precision.

The stretch of Austin Highway between Loop 410 and I-35 is lined with medical offices, but endodontic practices are fewer. Here, the focus narrows to diagnosing tooth pain origins, performing microsurgery for root-end issues, and managing dental trauma—think sports injuries or accidents that fracture teeth below the gumline. Some patients arrive after months of vague discomfort; others need urgent care for abscesses or failed treatments. Either way, the work happens in a clinical setting where the tools and techniques differ from a standard dental office.

First visits usually start with a call to (726) 444-3379, whether you’re referred by a general dentist or seeking answers for unexplained pain. The office sits at 1251 Austin Hwy Ste 104, a short drive from Fort Sam Houston and just north of downtown’s hustle. For exact directions or transit options, the map cuts through any confusion—because when a toothache flares, the last thing you need is a wrong turn.
