Dr. LaFever is the BEST! I have never felt a needle. He must have made A's on injections in dental school. He constantly checks to see if you are in pain. Dr. LaFever and his staff are just nice people, friendly, and they care about you. Dr. LaFever will send you to a specialist for an extraction or a root canal, because he is overly cautious and wants you to have the best care. He is not the most expensive nor the cheapest dentist, but you get what you pay for. I have never had a proiblem with billing or insurance. I had an extraction (back when he did them), several fillings, two bridges, and several crowns.
