About me
Meet Angel Ognemirov, endodontist for Burton upon Trent
One field of dentistry, practised with care: establishing what has gone wrong inside a tooth and treating it so thoroughly that the tooth can be kept. Tests before conclusions, the microscope for every case, an honest written opinion on each tooth — and a particular welcome for people who find the dentist hard to face.

Why endodontics and nothing else
Root canal treatment is unforgiving of haste. The canals are minute, no two teeth are built the same and the difference between a root filling that lasts twenty years and one that fails in two is frequently a single canal that nobody saw. Making this the whole of a clinical career means the operating microscope, the ultrasonic and electronic instruments and, above all, the generous appointment times the work needs are simply how things are done — and the awkward cases arrive often enough to hold no surprises.
Your own dentist stays your dentist. They continue your routine care and restore the tooth once Angel has treated it, and they receive a report with X-rays and recommendations so that the two parts of your care join up.
How an appointment with Angel works
- Tests first, conclusions second. Cold and bite tests and the right X-rays come before any recommendation. If the tooth does not need root canal treatment, you will hear exactly that.
- A plan you can take home. Diagnosis, proposed treatment, realistic outlook and fee are written down after the consultation, and the decision is made at your pace.
- Magnification as routine. The microscope is used for every treatment and retreatment, not reserved for difficult cases.
- Current technique. Rubber dam isolation, electronic length measurement, ultrasonic activation of the irrigants and modern sealing materials are standard.
- Time allowed for. Appointments are long enough to finish properly, usually in one visit.
- Straight talking. You will understand what is wrong, what will be done and what to expect — including when the honest answer is that a tooth cannot be kept.
Dental phobia
Many of the people who need endodontic treatment have avoided the dentist for years, or arrive with a dread of the words "root canal" that goes back to one bad experience. Angel has made their care a deliberate part of his work. Say so when you book and the appointment is built around you: a full explanation first, anaesthetic tested before anything starts, a signal to pause at any moment and breaks whenever you want them. He has also completed training in oral and intravenous dental sedation at Guy's Hospital in London, so whether sedation would help is something that can be talked through at your consultation. More about dental phobia and nervous patients.
Fees
Because no two teeth are alike there is no single price for "a root canal". The fee for your tooth is confirmed in your written plan after the consultation and before treatment starts, and it will not change part-way through.
