I had a root canal July last year. I never knew a dental procedure could be so pain free! It was a last minute appointment and I'm thankful that Dr. Spires took me in, even thought they were closing. My was in pain, I haven't slept for 3 days and I couldn't eat anything but water and some puree for a week.

It's being a while but I felt like I need to leave a comment for others who are needing a root canal treatment. Dr. Spires actually like his job, he'll try to make the patient less anxious.

I had an excellent visit for s root canal today. The dentist and staff were great. They explained everything. Personable and always asked about pain, which was VERY minimal. Would definitely recommend them!

Dr. Joseph is wonderful, he has a great personality and is very professional with a big smile!:) He goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and makes sure you’re happy! I had a front tooth done, I felt nervous because of it being my front tooth. The tooth was damaged from my childhood while riding my bicycle to fast, my face/tooth hit the handle bars. I am 50, so back in the day these handle bars were heavy duty metal. Long story short, I only got the root cancel because my current dentist told me it had inflammation around the partial I had done years ago. Still not sure why that dentist did a partial, I had no pain at the time and I believe it was for money not out of concern for my tooth.

Long story short which I don’t do well thanks to my ADHD!🤪 I walked in today after speaking with my dentist office to try to book a filling for this tooth. They told me that it couldn’t be done and they could only do a crown or a build up crown which would cost me almost 440. 00. Dr. Joseph stepped out of his break area, said hello, his work day was over. He asked me how my tooth felt, I said it felt good.

He listened to me about my concern, he was so generous to not only fix it and put a filling in it, but for free! It truly helped me, since I am a full time single mother on a very tight budget. This is above and beyond kind, I believe in paying it forward because it alway pays off. Beyond grateful, thank you so much Brittany and Dr Joseph. 🙏🏼
