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 have been a patient for close to thirty years and can't imagine ever going anywhere else. The entire office staff is warm and welcoming and is concerned about me as a person, not only my dental health but my total well-being. All of this is taken into consideration when treating my dental needs. Dr. Mashni follows up on my physical health, such as knee replacement surgeries, so that I can plan ahead for pre-antibiotics to stay protected during dental procedures. There has been virtually little to no turn over in staffing in all the years I have known Dr. Mashni. That tells a lot about the kind of person he really is!
