My root canal last week was, by far, one of the best experiences of my life.
Here are the details:
1) I arrived in the office 20 minutes early, they took me almost right away.
2) The staff (and then Dr A) sat through my long story / excuses on how my tooth got into the state it was in. They listened carefully and there was no 'tooth shaming'. Trust me, there was call for.
3) They performed the root canal in less than 45 minutes.
4) The procedure was almost comically pain free.
5) My whole mouth / tooth structure is weird (probably due to my grandparents being first cousins). They expertly worked around my genetic defects.
6) The whole procedure came in a little under the budget they estimated me over the phone.
The whole crew at Artistic Dental is great.
BTW, AD has very little staff turnover. That says a lot I think about how they run their practice.
