Five Years and Counting: Archway Endodontics’ Impact on Dental Care in St. Louis

Archway Endodontics, an esteemed provider of specialized root canal treatments, is thrilled to commemorate its five-year anniversary this September. Situated in the Hampton Village Plaza Medical Center, the practice has developed a strong reputation among patients and referring dentists throughout St. Louis County and Southern Illinois.

A Journey Led by Dr. Judd

Dr. Brian R. Judd, the practice’s owner and lead endodontist, has been committed to exceptional patient care since the first day Archway Endodontics opened its doors in 2021. His journey in dentistry began when he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Colorado Denver. Following five years of general dental practice in Wichita, Kansas, Dr. Judd decided to narrow his focus and specialize in endodontics. This decision stemmed from his desire to help alleviate patient pain and fine-tune his expertise within a particular area of dentistry.

After completing his endodontic residency at Saint Louis University’s Center for Advanced Dental Education—where he served as chief resident and even conducted pivotal research for his master’s thesis—Dr. Judd found his calling. His research focused on the GentleWave System, a revolutionary technology in root canal treatments, further demonstrating his commitment to advancing dental practice through innovation.

A Trusted Partner in Dental Care

With over five years of continuity in care, Dr. Judd’s connection with patients and local dental professionals has become integral to Archway’s success. Such continuity builds trust, ensuring that patients receive comprehensive care from a familiar face, which is crucial in a field as sensitive as dentistry. Dr. Judd has recently been invited to discuss his findings and experiences at a conference for the Greater St. Louis Dental Society, further solidifying his reputation as a thought leader in the field.

Enhancements for Patient Comfort

In the last year alone, Archway Endodontics has made a series of enhancements to improve patient experiences. The practice has welcomed new team members, including a dedicated office manager and a skilled dental assistant, alongside performing significant renovations of its surgical suites and updating its digital presence. These efforts reflect the practice's commitment to providing high-quality endodontic care in a warm and accommodating environment.

An Emphasis on Education

As part of Dr. Judd’s mission to reshape perceptions around root canal therapy, he emphasizes the necessity of collaboration between general dentists and endodontists. This partnership is pivotal in ensuring optimal results and reinforces Archway Endodontics' dedication to successful patient outcomes. He acknowledges, "Root canal therapy has a reputation that does not match what modern endodontics can actually deliver. Helping patients retain their natural teeth while relieving pain is what I find most fulfilling in my work."
