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
...before you even sit in the chair, Dr Mashni sits down with you and talks about your previous dental history-- if you've had any bad experiences with the dentist, etc-- so they can know where you're coming from. It's nice to know they really care about their patients' comfort. The staff was really friendly and accommodating. I was a few minutes late trying to find the office, but the receptionist was really kind and made it seem like no big deal. I'm scheduled to go back in a few days to follow-up with my TMJ and go over my x-rays from my previous dental visit (at LCC) to see where my wisdom teeth are. In sum, Dr Mashni and his staff are all really great, and I'd recommend his office to anyone.
