A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat an infected or damaged tooth. The procedure involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) and cleaning the root canal system. Afterward, the tooth is sealed and restored with a crown to protect it from further damage. Root canals are often necessary when a tooth becomes deeply decayed or cracked or when there is significant infection in the pulp.

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that typically emerge during the late teen years or early twenties. Not everyone has all four wisdom teeth, and for some, they may never come in at all. When wisdom teeth emerge improperly or don’t have enough space to grow, they can cause a variety of dental issues, including pain, swelling, infection, or misalignment of other teeth. In these cases, removal may be necessary to avoid further complications.

A tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. It’s typically recommended when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, infected, or impacted to be saved with other treatments like fillings or root canals. Extractions can be simple (for visible teeth) or surgical (for teeth that are broken, impacted, or below the gumline).

Dental fillings are used to treat cavities caused by tooth decay. After removing the decayed portion of the tooth, we fill the space with a durable material to restore the tooth’s shape, function, and integrity. At MK&C Dental, we use composite (tooth-colored) fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural enamel—no metal, no shine, just a healthy-looking smile.

It acts as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, helping to minimize wear, reduce pressure on the jaw joint, and prevent long-term damage. Unlike store-bought options, our professionally made night guards are customized for comfort, durability, and effectiveness.
