  Endodontics or Root Canal

  At Lanier Valley Dentistry we know how difficult it is to live with tooth pain. Many times we can get a patient out of pain by performing a root canal (removing the nerve of the tooth). Since we offer this treatment at our office we can many times complete the treatment on the same day versus waiting weeks to see a specialist. Dr. Lentz trained with board certified endodontist for years in the navy learning how to complete root canals the right way the first time.
• Pedodontics Remove
  Pedodontics

  We love to see kids in our chairs. They really are some of our best patients. Our office is set up to see adults and children alike. Kids love to be able to watch movies on apple TV while getting their teeth cleaned and or getting a filling. Parents: Our recommendation is to not even mention the 'shot' to them. Once kids are on laughing gas, many times we give a shot and they do not even know that it has happened. Once they are numb we like to tell them that we are drawing and painting pictures on their teeth and they typically respond very well to that. "Hold really still, I dont want to mess up my puppy painting" :)
