Every treatment end up with a root canal, that it is not also his expertise. Both my wife and I had to continue our treatment with different dentists to redo root canals that were not done the right way. On my wife's tooth he shaved it down so much that it's impossible to put a crown on it now. Save yourself the money (and the pain) and go a different dentist. He doesn't use any help (assistant) and you the patient ending up holding the tools for him. You would think that with no assistant around the price will be cheaper but his pricing is close to the others that use assistant around.
