Dr. Rodriguez has been my dentist since 1999 when I broke a molar in two pieces all the way down the root and the tooth could not be saved. Following a skillful and painless extraction of both root pieces he prepared a bridge to span the gap. It is a remarkable piece of work that feels and chews naturally. It is indistinguishable from my natural teeth and I don't even know I have it. Additionally he made a couple of crowns for me and does beautiful restorations and fillings. He made special trays used for whitening a couple of years ago, and I still use them as needed today. He is skilled with the anestheisa syringe and makes sure the nerve is numb before he starts work and checks to make sure it's numb during the procedure. I look forward to visiting Doctor Rodriguez. His office is in the sunny Mission district and the friendly staff is bilingual in English and Spanish.
