Dr. Mahnaz Messkoub DDS, MS, PA

Root canals aren’t the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions dental care, but they’re often the difference between saving a tooth and losing it. Dr. Mahnaz Messkoub DDS, MS, PA specializes in endodontics, the branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing tooth pain and performing procedures involving the inner tissues of the tooth. This isn’t general dentistry—it’s precision work, from routine root canal therapy to more complex cases like retreatment or apicoectomy. When a filling or crown isn’t enough, this is where the next level of care begins.

The practice operates at 9400 Westheimer Rd #1 in Houston, a stretch of the city where medical offices and professional services cluster along the thoroughfare. Westheimer’s mix of commercial and residential pockets means easy access whether you’re coming from the Galleria area or the Energy Corridor. Parking and traffic patterns here follow the usual Houston rules: plan ahead, but don’t expect surprises. The address places it squarely in the 77063 zip, where dental specialists often serve referrals from general dentists across the metro.

Endodontic issues don’t wait for convenient timing, and neither does the need for clear information. Questions about symptoms—lingering sensitivity, swollen gums, or a cracked tooth—often lead to a referral. Treatment options might include nonsurgical root canal therapy, endodontic surgery, or diagnosing the source of oral pain when the cause isn’t immediately obvious. The goal is straightforward: preserve the natural tooth whenever possible. For those who’ve been told extraction is the only option, a second opinion from an endodontist can sometimes change the outcome.

Contact details are minimal but direct: call (713) 932-7730 to discuss treatment or scheduling. The office’s location is pinned on the map for navigation—directions here—and the rest is between you and the specialist. In a city where dental networks run wide, it’s the quiet offices like these that handle the cases no one hopes to need.
