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.
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.
I really could not ask for more from a dentist's office. I have been seeing Dr. Mashni for at least 15 years now and have always been thrilled with him and his office. Vicki at the front desk is absolutely delightful and I compare all other doctor's office receptionists and office staff to her. No one else ever matches her enthusiasm, care, compassion and positive attitude. My hygienist, Julie, has always been wonderful. She's very sweet and kind, someone you'd really love to call a friend. She takes great care to make sure you are doing alright throughout the appointment. And Dr. Mashni is a consummate professional. Kind and careful and very honest and trustworthy. I actually ENJOY going to the dentist! Thanks to Dr. Mashni and his staff. 5 stars well earned.
