Root canals don’t have to be scary. With the right care, they’re fast, gentle, and highly effective. At Professional Endodontics of Illinois, we perform root canals using modern imaging and anesthesia to ensure comfort and precision. It’s one of the most common and successful ways to preserve your natural teeth.
• Constant toothache or pressure
• Pain with hot/cold that lingers
• Swelling near the gums or jaw
• Tooth discoloration or darkening
• Past trauma or large fillings
• One-visit treatments in most cases
• Local anesthesia for a pain-free procedure
• Digital imaging to detect all root canals
• Clear aftercare guidance and long-term restoration advice
Still think root canals are painful? It’s time to set the record straight. Modern root canal treatment is designed to relieve pain caused by deep infection, not create it. Thanks to advanced techniques and local anesthesia, most patients say it feels no worse than getting a cavity filled — and it saves your natural tooth.
At our clinic, your comfort and treatment success come first. We use high-powered dental microscopes, precise 3D CBCT imaging, and modern rotary tools to ensure every procedure is as accurate, efficient, and gentle as possible. These technologies allow us to reduce chair time, increase comfort, and improve outcomes — so you can heal faster and smile sooner.
We stay in close communication with your general dentist to ensure the next steps go smoothly. From protecting your treated tooth to planning a permanent restoration, we coordinate every detail to support your long-term oral health.

“This was my first root canal experience, and I couldn’t be more grateful for how smoothly everything went. Dr. Mary Roman was incredibly professional, gentle, and kind throughout the entire procedure. Thanks to her, I have only positive memories from something that I was honestly a bit nervous about. The staff at Professional Endodontics was also very welcoming and supportive. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend this office and Dr. Tismensky. He is highly skilled, knowledgeable and friendly. His office staff are also very friendly and great to work with.”
“I recently had the need to select an endodontist. Mine had retired, and I was in need of a root canal. Dr Park turned what could've been a very scary situation into a professional, supportive treatment. I went to her blindly. I chose her from reviews and recommendations for my insurance company. The office looks more like a spa than a dental office. Her professional and bedside manner were excellent. On the consultation, she assessed the situation and laid out a plan. When the day came to execute, she followed the plan and ensure that I was comfortable along the way. I would highly recommend Dr Park.”
“Dr. Vladimir Tismensky is such a great doctor! I had an infection after root canal treatment (done by different doctor) so he decided to make a surgery. I was thinking it’s gonna be hard long procedure, but the Doctor have done it in 20 mins and I relegated from the office in 35 mins. With a doctor like this, you understand that you are in the hands of a great professional! The office staff also nice and friendly! And I was really surprised I didn’t wait when I came for appointments!”
“I came Here from a referral from my dentist for a root canal. I was having the worst sensitivity! The office got me in the next day and scheduling on the following work day. Dr. Park then did my root canal. She was so kind, understanding, and gentle. She was humming along to the music while she worked, and it was soothing to know she was so confident in her skills that it was second nature and she could sing while doing it! The front office staff answered all my questions and did all the hard insurance stuff. I am so happy with this experience! I'm all better now and thank you!”
“My dentist sent me to Professional Endodontics for treatment on a tooth that seemed really compromised and almost a hopeless case. Dr. Tismensky x-rayed and scanned my tooth and decided with confidence that it was salvageable and went ahead and did the root canal. The tenderness I was having went away within a day or two and my tooth seems fine now. The whole process was quick and painless. I would highly recommend this office for root canal treatment. Dr. Vlad and his staff are extremely kind and professional.”
“If your dentist asks you to see an endodontist for a root canal, this is a very good place. Everyone there, from the front desk, to the assistants and the doctors are all very professional and on top of everything. You'll be well taken care of.”
