Dr. Lauren Aguilar

Endodontists handle the inside of teeth—roots, nerves, and the tissues that keep them alive. When a cavity reaches too deep or an injury cracks a tooth, these specialists step in to save what’s left. Dr. Lauren Aguilar offers that care in Charlottesville, focusing on procedures most general dentists refer out.

Root canals, retreatment of past work, and surgery on hidden roots are common reasons patients visit. The office at 320 Winding River Ln #302 is part of a quiet stretch near the Rivanna River, where the streets curve along the water. It’s a setting that feels removed from downtown traffic, though still central enough for easy access.

Other services include treating dental trauma, diagnosing persistent pain, and placing posts that help crowns stay secure. Each procedure starts with a detailed exam, often using imaging that shows more than standard X-rays. The goal is straightforward: preserve the natural tooth whenever possible, avoiding extraction.
