Technically “root canal” is not the name of the procedure but refers instead simply to the natural cavity found in the center of the tooth. The pulp or pulp chamber is the soft area inside the root canal. The tooth’s nerve lies within the root canal. Occasionally, the internal soft tissue (or pulp) of the tooth becomes infected and can result in a serious infection if left untreated.
In fact, the procedure that laymen refer to as a “root canal” is actually known as a pulpectomy to dentists. A pulpectomy is an endodontic treatment to cure an infected root canal. In the old days, damage to the core of a tooth usually meant it had to be removed. Today, however, a “root canal” procedure (or pulpectomy) disinfects and refills the inside of the tooth, thus preventing pain and limiting damage to the tooth.

Wonderful and friendly staff. I have been seeing Dr. Robert Uhde for over 20 years and have referred him to family and friends. Wonderful dentist.
Love the admin staff! Always patient with me regarding scheduling and insurance, they explain my benefits very well. Hygenists and Dr. Khurana are amazing - empathetic and gentle. I wouldn't go anywhere else!
Great service every visit I have. I’ve been coming here for about three years and I’ve had a great experience with the staff and Dr Khurana.
Been going here for a few years now. They have a higher tech experience then I was used to previously and even after not getting my teeth cleaned for several years were awesome, nice, non-judgemental people.
They clean your teeth, and are willing to take the time to explain the xray images, billing, and give out lots of toothbrush kits. Whole family been going here for years.
The service here was excellent~. I came in one day with tooth pains and no insurance, and over the course of the day they helped me set up membership, set up my plan, took x rays, and got a cleaning and six fillings done~. Everyone is so nice and positive, and I'd defs recommend using them if you're in the area~
After all struggle, I landed on a safe place and got it done very smoothly. I would definitely recommend ??
Super nice staff, great at accommodating your schedule with theirs, would highly recommend.
