LUKAS JAVORSKIS – D DENT  GDC 110459

Visiting Endodontist

Lukas is originally from Lithuania and has lived in the UK since 2007. He is a certified EU Endodontist and has published several academic papers on the subject. We are proud to have Lukas as a member of our team and he is now available for appointments for all patients at TRDS as well as to patients referred to us from their own dentist for Endodontic treatment.

Lukas has incredible precision and hand-eye coordination, making him highly skilled in performing complex treatments. He uses the most specialized and advanced equipment here at The Riley Dental Studio including microscope magnifcation technology which research demonstrates far better outcomes compared to treatment without vision enhancement or magnification. Our microscope aids in finding hidden and accessory canals, locating and removing separated instruments, preserving more tooth structure & improving ergonomics for the clinician. The use of high definition CBCT images also assists particularly challenging cases.

Lukas’s excellent clinical skills, his easy going and quiet nature will ensure that his patients receive only the highest standard of clinical excellence and treatment. (Dental Professional Referral to Lukas)
