About the Waterlase Technology
Waterlase uses light, air, and water to form a powerful beam that endodontists use for various treatments. This energy can be harnessed to clean teeth better than traditional methods.
The Waterlase has the ability to remove gum tissue and bone with its combination of light, air, and water. Lasers revolutionized surgical procedures like LASIK, wrinkle removal, and more. Waterlase applies the technology to the needs of dentists and their patients. Dr. Corr became a Waterlase specialist after recognizing its ability to create better patient experiences and outcomes.
About Dr. Corr’s Commitment to Innovation and Education

After completing dental school, Dr. Corr spent a year in an advanced general dentistry program as an army officer at Fort Carson, then served three years treating soldiers at home and abroad.

Why Colorado Springs Residents Prefer Apex Endodontics
Your endodontic experts at Apex Endodontics treat each patient as a unique individual. The teeth and the root canal system have highly complex and variable anatomy. A skilled endodontist cannot assume that each patient has an “average” anatomy.
Also, dental pain can come from many different sources. Our team assesses whether a root canal or a different treatment option is more appropriate for you. We take the time to assess your options and to talk you through the process.
If your dentist suggests that you may need root canal treatment, we are here to provide you with the best care available at Apex Endodontics.
