Every root canal performed under 8-25x magnification with coaxial illumination. See what the naked eye cannot — hidden canals, micro-fractures, and complex anatomy.
Mastership in Laser Dentistry from RWTH Aachen University (Germany) and Sigmund Freud University (Vienna, Austria). International-caliber expertise at Mexican prices.
Master-level certification in dental laser therapy. Laser-assisted disinfection achieves deeper bacterial elimination than chemical irrigation alone.

From diagnosis to crown placement, here's exactly what to expect during your treatment at CME Dental.
Free clinical exam with digital X-rays. Dr. Morales evaluates your tooth under the microscope to map all canals and determine treatability.
Local anesthesia ensures a pain-free experience. The tooth is isolated with a rubber dam for a sterile, controlled working field.
The surgical microscope is positioned at 8-25x magnification. Hidden canals and complex anatomy become visible for precise treatment.
Infected pulp is removed with rotary NiTi instruments. Every canal — including hidden MB2 canals — is cleaned and shaped to the correct taper.
Ultrasonic-activated irrigation reaches into canal irregularities and dentinal tubules that standard syringe irrigation cannot access.
Canals are filled and sealed with biocompatible bioceramic materials that promote healing and create a hermetic barrier against reinfection.
A high-quality zirconia crown is crafted and placed to protect the treated tooth, restoring full strength, function, and natural appearance.

"I was at CM Endodontics for a microscope root canal, which a different dentist told me was not very savable. However, with the help of Dr. Carlos Morales, it was possible to save my tooth and get a crown placed. It has been more than a year since I had it fixed, and everything is going wonderfully."
"I've been seeing Dr. Morales for years now, and I can honestly say he's the absolute best! I used to have a fear of going to the dentist, but Dr. Morales completely took that fear away. He is gentle, highly skilled and a genuinely nice person. He also has never tried to upsell or recommend anything unnecessary, which I really appreciate."
