A Tooth Is Worth Saving!
Las Vegas dentist and endodontist Dr. Azimi will always try to save a patient’s tooth with a root canal, before other restorative dentistry procedures are considered.
A tooth is comprised of three layers:
– Enamel – hard outside layer
– Dentin – hard sensitive layer
– Pulp Tissue – where the nerve of the tooth resides.
A root canal refers to the removal of the nerve and pulp tissue, which is the innermost layer of the tooth. The roots of the tooth are not removed which is common misconception when people think of a root canal.
Decay which causes the tooth to become infected, and trauma which causes the nerve to dye, are the two primary reasons why the nerve and pulp tissue may need to be removed says Dr. Azimi. Until a root canal is performed, the tooth will not heal!
Once Dr. Azimi has performed the root canal procedure and the infection is removed, the inside of the tooth is sterilized and sealed. A filling is placed in the tooth until a dental crown is placed over the tooth.
If you have a damaged or decayed tooth call our Las Vegas dentist office today to get the help you need.

Our Patients Say It Best!
“I am elated about finally getting rid of my troublesome dentures and having dental implants placed by Dr. Azimi. My ability to eat more types of foods has changed immensely — foods that I haven’t tasted in over 10 years I am now eating regularly! My only regret is not getting these sooner.”
Enrique
“As a new resident to Las Vegas, I struggled to find a dentist that I was comfortable with. There were many choices, but Dr. Azimi and his staff took the time to give me a lengthy free consultation and answer all of my questions. Dr. Azimi then listened to my concerns and went beyond my expectations in creating a cost effective plan for my treatment. Furthermore, his entire staff is amazingly warm and friendly. One can feel their compassion and dedicated professionalism.”
Dave
“A challenging case of tooth extraction followed by an implant work were made as comfortable as humanly possible by Dr. Azimi and his support personnel. In addition, the post-operative results showed no complications, with a healing process in a steady progress. The experience of my wife with the same dental office is similarly positive. We feel very fortunate to have Dr. Azimi as our family dentist!”
