Dr. Lori L. Gochenour, DDS, MS, PLLC

Most people think of dentists as the place for cleanings and fillings, but endodontists handle the deeper issues—root canals, cracked teeth, and infections that general dentists refer out. Dr. Lori L. Gochenour, DDS, MS, PLLC specializes in exactly that, operating from a quiet office just off Tavern Road in Martinsburg. The practice focuses on procedures that save natural teeth when damage or decay runs too deep for standard care.

Endodontic work often involves precision tools and techniques most dental offices don’t keep on hand. They perform root canal therapy, retreatments for previous dental work that’s failed, and apicoectomies—surgical procedures that remove infection from the tip of a tooth’s root. Emergency cases, like abscesses or trauma from accidents, also fall under their scope. The address is 113A Tavern Rd, Martinsburg, WV 25401, tucked into a stretch of small medical offices and local businesses.

Martinsburg’s mix of historic streets and newer developments means some residents end up driving farther than they’d like for specialized care. Having an endodontist nearby cuts down on travel for procedures that usually require multiple visits. The field itself isn’t one most people seek out voluntarily, but when the need arises, it’s reassuring to know the expertise is close by.
