    Another pleasant experience at Dr Gusha’s office. Dr Gusha’s expertise always wows me though I expect nothing less. Always gets to the root of the problem using innovation and artistry to refit my guard, fill a chipped tooth… Anna has been cleaning my family’s teeth for years always suggesting new tips as she relentlessly keeps them healthy.

  • Root Canal Treatment

    Every tooth has two sections: a crown, the visible part of the tooth above the gum line, and one or more roots, which anchor the teeth within the jaw.

Left untreated, this decay can spread to the interior of the tooth, and might lead to the need for a crown, a root canal, or even extraction. When caught early, your dentist can ...
