Gentle, Affordable Family Care

Root canals are necessary procedures if you have recurring inflammation or infection of the tissue inside the tooth. This type of infection can occur when you have a cracked, broken, or even a loose filling. The solution to the problem is to drill a small hole in the tooth, extract the pulp or soft tissue inside the tooth, clean the inside, and replace the pulp with a rubber-like material known as gutta-percha. If your tooth seems to lack stability, the dentist may choose to insert a post into the tooth. This prevents the tooth from caving in on itself. The tooth is either filled or capped with a crown before you can return to regular use of the tooth. When teeth are determined by Dr. Hollar to need root canal treatment, most cases are referred to an endodontist, a dentist who specializes in root canal therapy.

Our goal is to provide safe, state-of-the-art care in a friendly environment.
We spend time educating our patients and their families so that they have
a comfortable understanding of their care and can actively participate in
treatment decisions. Our approach is conservative and multi-disciplinary,
often involving other specialists to provide optimum care.
Lord, be with me daily as I practice dentistry.
May I treat with gentle hands all who put their trust in me.
May my calm assurance help to ease their fears
To relax the tense adults and dry the children’s tears.
May I treat each patient with competence and skill,
Whether a difficult procedure or a tooth that I must fill.
As I diagnose and treat be with me all the while,
And reward me with my patient’s lovely, healthy smile.
Amen.

To my God...
the architect of the masticatory system.
The more I understand the logic behind its beautifully integrated design,
the more I realize its every element was planned by a loving creator.
The words of affection that we speak, the smiles we share,
the songs we sing, and the kisses we give to our loved ones
are possible only because an element of love
was integrated into this design.
