I have had crowns put on, cavities and crevices filled, exposed roots covered. Dental work is not without pain. But pain control is always discussed before he performs any procedure on my teeth. He puts me at ease by explaining in advance what he will do and what to expect as far as pain. He explains procedures in a way that I can understand. He puts me at ease so that I feel comfortable enough to ask questions. Most importantly, I trust him. I feel that he will not prescribe unnecessary treatment, and that the treatment performed is done well. One of the routine things that he does is to check for other medical problems like high blood pressure and cancer. Discounts are given for cash payments.
