I like Dr.Smith personally very much. However, he put me through the worst dental experience in my entire lifetime. I was recommended by my Dentist (whom I don't like personally) for a routine root canal. Every bit of literature I read about the root canal process indicated that it is a 2 stage process. First the tooth is cleaned and some medicine is put in it to kill any infection. Then you come back to get the filling to protect the canal and tooth until you get your crown.
Dr Smith did not perform the root canal on my tooth in the 2 step process that all root canal literature indicates you should nor put in the post and build up to prepare for the crown. Even his appointment worker was surprised when she started to schedule my 2nd visit and the Dr said, he was finished .
I ended up with the most horrendous, excuriating pain which after a year of this torture i still have. I had a root canal on an adjoining healthy tooth that cost me an extra $600 for a crown, an apiceotomy to remove a huge abcess that formed over the tooth, numerous rounds of antibiotics and many office visits for over a year. Finally, the Dr told me to get my tooth pulled and buy a bridge. I spent over $1500 to lose my tooth.
out of 5 stars
