Dr. Yigit Gol Opens Evolve Endodontics
A new private endodontic practice comes to Westhampton, and the East End dental community turns out to welcome it.
Welcome to Long Island Dentists Magazine
Every month, we feature the dentists who make Long Island home, with private practices first.
This magazine grew out of the Long Island Dentists Podcast, and it has one job: to put the dentists of Long Island in the spotlight. From the North Fork to the South Fork and the Hamptons, our communities are cared for by independent practices run by people who know their patients by name.
Those practices are competing against a steady rise in corporate dental ownership. They deserve a platform of their own. So this magazine puts private practice dentists front and center, and it is free to share with patients, colleagues and neighbors.
Our first issue starts with a practice on its very first day. I hope you enjoy it.
Sincerely, Brendan

Dr. Yigit Gol Opens Evolve Endodontics
A Suffolk County native brings specialist root canal care to the East End, and celebrates with a four-hour grand opening.
For years, many East End patients who needed an endodontist faced a drive of more than an hour to see one. Dr. Yigit Gol set out to change that. This month he celebrated the grand opening of his own private practice, Evolve Endodontics, on Old Riverhead Road in Westhampton Beach.
Dr. Gol was born and raised in Suffolk County and graduated from Miller Place High School. He earned a biochemistry degree at Stony Brook University and a master's in biomedical sciences, with a concentration in oral biology, from Rutgers. He then returned to Stony Brook for dental school. As a fellow Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine graduate, I'm proud to see one of our own open his doors out east.
After a general practice residency at St. Charles Hospital and a year in general dentistry, he completed Stony Brook's two-year advanced program in endodontics. He practiced as an endodontist for two years before founding Evolve. He also teaches as an endodontic attending in the dental residency program at Good Samaritan University Hospital's St. Charles campus.
Evolve was built around diagnosis. The office uses a cone beam 3D scanner and a ZEISS surgical microscope, so Dr. Gol can see what's really going on before recommending treatment. His practice's own words sum up the approach: “The answer is not always as simple as, ‘You need a root canal.’” Sometimes that means saving a tooth others might give up on. Sometimes it means an honest conversation about whether a tooth is worth saving at all.
Patients will notice the setting, too. The office has high ceilings, natural light, sofas and lounge music, more spa than clinic, and offers nitrous oxide for anyone who is nervous.

Meet the Doctor
His goal for Evolve: to be a trusted partner for referring dentists across the East End, and to treat every patient like family. In his words, “Tooth loss is not always inevitable.”
What Is an Endodontist?
An endodontist is a dentist with additional years of specialty training in diagnosing tooth pain and treating the soft tissue inside the tooth, called the pulp. Your general dentist may refer you to an endodontist for a root canal, a tooth that needs re-treatment, or pain that is hard to pin down.
This is general information, not advice about your own care. Talk with your dentist about what is right for you.
