Areas of Expertise
Dr. Shaheen brings a vast amount of experience to his work, with over 32 years in the dental field.
His Expertise includes:
- Saving Damaged Teeth: Dr. Shaheen is an expert in saving teeth that would otherwise need to be pulled out due to infection or damage deep inside. This is often done through root canal treatment, where he carefully removes infected tissue, cleans the inside of the tooth, and then seals it to prevent future problems.
- Handling Complex Cases: He’s particularly known for his ability to handle complex endodontic cases. These can involve teeth with unusual shapes, tricky roots, or those that have had previous root canal treatments that didn’t fully heal. His skill ensures even the most challenging situations are managed effectively.
- Restoring Your Smile: Beyond treating the inside of the tooth, Dr. Shaheen is also very experienced in fitting crowns, veneers and bridges. These are used to restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance after a root canal or to replace missing teeth, helping you get back a full, healthy smile.
- Root Canal Retreatments: Even if a tooth has already had a root canal, new problems can sometimes pop up. When this happens, Dr. Shaheen is skilled at root canal retreatments. He carefully reopens the tooth to fix any lingering infection or complications, essentially giving the tooth a second chance.
- Periapical Surgeries: Shaheen is also proficient in periapical surgeries, which are specialized procedures performed on teeth with failed root canal treatments or those with cystic lesions, particularly in the front teeth, to resolve lingering infections and save the tooth.
