Dr. John Neal holds a DDS and an MS degree, qualifying him as a graduate-level specialist in endodontics, the dental specialty focused on diagnosing and treating disease inside the tooth. His practice, Dr. John J. Neal, DDS, serves patients in River Forest, Illinois, and the surrounding western Chicago suburbs. Endodontists complete two to three years of post-doctoral specialty training after dental school. Dr. Neal's MS degree goes a step further, indicating that his specialty education included graduate-level academic research alongside clinical practice. This training equips him to handle complex cases involving tooth pain, pulp infection, cracked teeth, and root canal therapy with a level of depth that general dentists are not trained to provide. Patients with difficult-to-diagnose tooth pain, prior root canal complications, or conditions affecting the root apex often receive referrals to an endodontist like Dr. Neal. His specialist credential means every patient gets care from a clinician whose entire professional focus is saving teeth from the inside out.
