I was put instantly at ease, despite my trepidation at having a sculpture procedure done on a molar. The anesthetizing of the tooth was nearly painless and I was given a teddy bear to hold, at my request. Another dentist had recommended a crown for a cracked tooth, but Dr. Bentley's 2nd opinion convinced me that I did not need such an expensive and invasive procedure done as a crown. Besides, the sculpture is done in the office lab and 2 hours later I was on my way home, tooth completely and beautifully repaired. Dr. Bentley has been in dentistry for 30 years with continuous education, often speaking at gatherings for dentistry. He is a leader in the field and I would highly recommend him.
