Dr. Kirkegaard is a great dentist; he's very intelligent, reassuring, patient, and willing to explain what he's doing. His office is right in the middle of the metro area and pretty easy to get to, which can be important if you're trying to get back to work in a hurry.
I've been Dr. Kirkegaard's patient for quite a few years now, and before this year, I didn't really need any work done, apart from bleaching.
My luck ran out last fall when I had to have two crowns. My crown was chiseled out of porcelain in about 5 minutes with a fascinating computer-operated machine while I waited--and I got to watch the machine work, which was entertaining. Dr. K installed the crown painlessly and immediately, and I was out of there in no time.
Most recently, I had to have a root canal for one of my two front teeth (chipped in childhood, but bonded so the chip didn't show). I'm not a relaxed person by nature, but I got through the root canal and it really, honestly, did not hurt. Once again, I was out of there in no time and back to work.
I highly recommend him.
