Root Canal Therapy
Every tooth has a nerve and blood supply that provides the tooth nutrients. When a tooth has disease due to decay or trauma that nerve can become infected. Root Canal Therapy is done when a tooth has disease extending to the nerve of the tooth that causes infection. The procedure involves removing the diseased nerve tissue and decay and replacing it with a material that will allow the tooth to heal. In most cases the decay and disease also damages the surrounding tooth structure. In these cases the tooth often has to have the missing tooth structure built up again and a crown or filling placed over root canal.
Extractions
Tooth extractions may be recommended due to extensive disease in the tooth or supporting structures or due to restorative/orthodontic needs. In any case we will handle your needs and offer ways to replace your missing teeth so that you retain the function of your teeth.
What Our Clients
Are Saying
I visited Dr. Mashni for my semiannual check-up. He has been my dentist for 30 years. He has done all kinds of work in my mouth, from removing and replacing old fillings, putting in crowns, and even replacing a severely damaged tooth with a dental implant. He is always patient, takes time to explain what he is doing, and always does a good job. Some of his work borders on artistry. I have a crown on a prominent front tooth. He has so exactly matched the color of that crown to surrounding teeth that it is impossible to tell that it is not my natural tooth. I would not hesitate to refer others to him. And I do not look forward to the day he retires. He's a GREAT dentist.
