Root canal treatment of a maxillary second molar can be complex for a General Dentist that does not perform root canal treatments of molars on a regular basis. Advanced technology integrating three dimensional dental scans have greatly increased the diagnosis, and accuracy of treatments for both root canal treatments as well as fully guided dental implants. I would recommend finding a dentist that is comfortable in treating your tooth, explains the risks, benefits, and alternatives to any form of dental treatment for your tooth, Your uncle may not be comfortable performing the procedure but that does not mean that it is not a viable treatment option. General Dentists who are well trained, can perform root canals and perform dental implants on your maxillary second molar.
