For Dr. Victoria Ball, a healthy, happy life is directly related to the health of your teeth. In her practice at Contemporary Endodontics of Oklahoma, she focuses on maintaining the health of patients’ natural teeth.
After shadowing her hometown dentist, Dr. Ball said her eyes were opened to all the ways dentists can help their patients. While at dental school, she investigated several specialties, but she kept coming back to endodontics.
“I love the challenge of saving natural teeth,” she said. “Every patient, every tooth is different, kind of like that box of chocolates metaphor.”
Dr. Ball is the first female private practice endodontic owner in the 405 who has achieved board certification and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics.
“I regularly have patients who are seeking out a female practitioner,” she said. “I think the measurement is not male or female, but skill, competence and the ability to communicate with and care about patients.”
Her practice is at the forefront of utilizing advanced technology, including state-of-the-art Zeiss PROergo microscopes and 3D cone beam scans to diagnose and treat every patient.
The 3D cone beam scan provides a detailed view of the anatomy of the tooth to detect curvatures and calcifications or blockages within the tooth’s nerves, while the microscopes help to detect small hairline cracks or fractures that may not yet be detectable on a 3D scan. When used together, this equipment helps to provide the best diagnosis and long-term prognosis for each patient’s case.
“I’m excited about new technology, and how it has changed our profession and the way we treat our patients,” Dr. Ball said.
