We understand that scheduling a visit to the dentist can be difficult. We all have busy schedules and cannot always afford to take time off from work to make it to the dentist. With this in mind, we decided to offer our dental patients the convenience of extended evening hours as well as Saturday appointments. No longer do you have to pull children out of class or try to squeeze in an appointment around your lunch hour.

Root Canal

In the past, if you had a tooth with a diseased nerve, you'd probably lose it.  Nowadays, with a special dental procedure called a root canal therapy you may save that tooth. Inside each tooth is the pulp which provides nutrients and nerves to the tooth. It runs like a thread down through the root. When the pulp is diseased or injured, the pulp tissue dies. If you do not remove the pulp tissue, it gets infected and you could lose it. After the dentist removes the pulp, the root canal is cleansed and sealed off to protect it. Then your dentist places a crown to help make it stronger. Most of the time, a root canal is a relatively simple procedure with little or no discomfort involving one to three visits. Best of all, it can save your tooth and your smile!
