Lake Michigan Endodontics

Lake Michigan Endodontics is a highly reputable endodontic clinic serving Muskegon, Michigan, and the wider Western Michigan Shores area. The practice was founded in 2007 by Dr. Patrick J. Mullally, DDS, MSD, a dedicated endodontist with extensive specialized training. Dr. Mullally earned his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degrees from the University of Michigan in 2001 and 2005, respectively. He further specialized by obtaining his Master of Science in Dentistry (MSD) in Endodontics from the University of Washington in 2007. The clinic specializes exclusively in endodontic procedures, which are focused on saving natural teeth. Their core services include: Root Canal Therapy: A procedure to remove infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, clean and disinfect the canals, and then fill and seal the tooth to prevent future infection. Root Canal Retreatment: Addressing teeth that have undergone a previous root canal but have not healed properly or have developed new problems. Apicoectomy/Endodontic Surgery: A surgical procedure to remove the tip of the tooth's root and surrounding infected tissue when conventional root canal treatment isn't sufficient. Emergency Treatment: Providing prompt care for acute dental pain and injuries. Treatment for Cracked Teeth and Dental Injuries: Diagnosing and treating various types of tooth damage. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT): Utilizing advanced 3D imaging for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. Lake Michigan Endodontics is committed to providing a comfortable and stress-free patient experience. They understand the anxiety often associated with root canal treatments and strive to alleviate it through a gentle approach, thorough patient education, and a welcoming environment. They emphasize explaining each step of the treatment process to their patients. In addition to Dr. Mullally, the clinic has other skilled endodontists on their team, including Dr. Jeffrey N. Dzingle, who joined Dr. Mullally in 2014 and is a diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics. The clinic leverages state-of-the-art technology and techniques to ensure high success rates and optimal outcomes for their patients.
