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
Dr. Mashni has been our dentist for 30+ years. We met John very early on in his career and made our best decision when we gave him a try. He believes in gentle dentistry and that was a process unknown to us at that time. When it was time to have wisdom teeth removed Dr. Mashni did it with all the care in the world and personally called us at home to make sure we were healthy and well. That impressed us. Dr. Mashni and his staff are professional, gentle, friendly, they strive for "pain-free" dentistry and the office maintains a family atmosphere. We have in the past and continue to share his name with anyone needing the "perfect" dentist.
