Dr. Mead did a phenomenal job grafting my lower gums this past October. To add to that he was able to do it without having to remove the donor tissue from my palate, but instead using a processed graft (Alloderm I thnk?)! Dr. Zimmerman’s been doing my routine care for of a number of years now and has always done a thorough job. The hygienists are also excellent and gentle with routine cleanings. An all-star staff, up-to-date technology, and cutting-edge techniques at this office, you will not be disappointed!

Root Canal Treatment in Syracuse


When is it Needed?

Root canals are needed when the nerve of a tooth is irreversibly damaged. This occurs from either decay or trauma.
When the nerve dies due to one of these the tooth then becomes the source that causes swelling, pain and infection. During a root canal, the inner chamber of the tooth is cleaned out, disinfected and then sealed off from the inside out to stop the infection and allow for healing.
If the infection is not corrected by having a root canal, potentially life threatening swellings due to infection can occur. The only alternative to root canal is extraction, so if the tooth can be saved, they are a great option!
