Root canal therapy
Removes infection from inside the tooth so you keep your natural tooth and lose the pain, done gently and carefully.
A root canal has a scary reputation it does not deserve. Done well, it simply removes the infection and pain and lets you keep your own tooth.
Dr. Zhao is known for a gentle touch and a conservative approach, patients say again and again that they felt no pain and never felt pushed into anything unnecessary.

From a small filling to a full crown, Dr. Zhao handles the range of restorative care so you can stay with one office you trust.

Modern composite fillings repair decay and match your tooth, so your smile stays natural with no dark metal.
Crowns rebuild a weakened or broken tooth and bridges fill a gap, restoring both strength and a full smile.
"There are no games of breaking procedures into unnecessary steps. I had three fairly major procedures and I was surprised I experienced no pain afterward."
Nancy J.Google reviewA root canal is meant to end tooth pain, not cause it. The tooth is fully numbed first, and most patients say the visit feels much like getting a filling. Nitrous (laughing gas) is available if you would like extra help staying relaxed.
A filling repairs decay on the surface of a tooth, while a root canal treats infection deep inside it. Dr. Zhao examines the tooth, takes any needed X-rays and recommends the most conservative option that will actually solve the problem, and explains why before you decide.
Yes. We use tooth-colored composite fillings that are matched to your surrounding teeth, so repairs blend in and there is no dark metal showing when you smile or laugh.
