I had a tooth that cracked while eating a candy bar of all things. I thought I was going to have to have my tooth removed which would have been terrible since it was towards the front of my mouth. I went to my regular dentist who told me I would need a root canal and a crown which was going to cost close to $1100 that I didn't have.
A friend recommended that I go see Dr. Matthews at Acacia which was some of the best advice I could have received and Acacia was able to see me the next day after I called them. Dr. Matthews said he thought he could do a filling and if that didn't work he go down the root canal option. The filling was only $40 so I saved over $1000 and my tooth is still good a year later.
I would highly I recommend Dr. Matthews for a first or second opinion.
