| - I phoned Desert Dentistry on a Friday because I was in serious pain. The person who answered the phone was warm and she said they could see me that very day. When I arrived, I encountered a dentist's office like none I'd seen before; the place is like a spa. Gentle music plays in the background, and a modern aesthetic lends to the soothing atmosphere. I met with Dr. T, and he impressed me as being competent, honest, and direct. My previous dentist seemed always to look for the most expensive procedures, but Dr. T took some time to rule out a simple filling before concluding that a root canal was necessary (no kidding, he seemed to genuinely hope for the filling and was disappointed that it would be more involved/expensive). Dr T was willing to do the root canal that day, but they were very busy, so I opted to schedule the root canal for the following week. The procedure itself went really well (I mean, it's still a root canal and all); Dr. T and his assistant worked like a team, and I was out after 30 or 45 minutes. Later the next week Dr. T and Johnny prepped for the crown and set me up with a temporary; I'm currently waiting for delivery of the permanent (it takes two weeks, which is fine). Johnny's temporary crown is very comfortable; he took a lot of time to make it just right, and he clearly took pride in his work. I have other dental work that needs to be done, and I'll be returning to Desert Dentistry and Dr. T. for the remainder of it. I'll ad that the office staff is friendly and capable.
