Really cared for for me. I was in a lot of pain having a root canal and was available for the next week whenever I called to answer a question. read more

I previous had a root canal done by Dr. Orion about 10 years ago that went extremely well. Unfortunately, I needed another root canal on a different tooth, but fortunately, Dr. Orion came through again! He and his staff did an awesome job. I was very pleased with the scheduling and insurance coordination by Serena. They got me in before my planned trip to Europe. I look forward to eating pain free! read more

No pain what so ever during the procedure. I had a molar that had been painful and I was losing sleep. Dr Orton diagnosed the tooth which needed a root canal. He numbed the area and an hour and a half later I was out in my way. The procedure was absolutely PAINLESS. His block worked beautifully and I felt nothing. I had head phones on as I watched his tv screen while in the chair and during the procedure. If you have a tooth which needs a root canal please go to this dentist He is so skilled and I had no post procedure pain. Also his staff is amazing. Got me in quickly because I was experiencing dental pain. read more

Orton Endodontics provides exceptional care. Dr. Orton is highly skilled, compassionate, and detail-oriented, which gave me great confidence throughout my treatment. He successfully retreated my root canal and saved two of my teeth -- something I am truly grateful for. The office runs smoothly, with minimal wait times and a very caring staff. I would recommend this practice without hesitation to anyone in need of endodontic care. read more

Dr Orton is an absolute professional, a master at his craft and happens to be a pretty awesome guy. Sincerely caring with great bedside manners. Their office is super clean, very boutique and the entire staff was super friendly and helpful. Minus what insurance covered, my portion of payment was transparent and fair. Overall, I could not have had a better root canal experience. Dr. Orton's state of the art 3D image instrument revealed my tooth was in fact infected - an issue a basic x-ray could not reveal. Dr. Orton explained in detail of the solution on how he would perform the root cancel to alleviate the pain and get rid of the infection. The procedure was done in less than an hour with no pain and very minimal discomfort (ask for suction when you need it, he and his nurse are sincerely happy to help). To all of you at Orton Endodontics, thank you for knocking it out of the park! Also, I really enjoyed our chat about skiing at Snowbird!! If I ever need another root canal (hoping I never do), I know where to go. Otherwise, hope to see you on the slopes, Dr. Orton! read more

I can't find any joy in writing a root canal review. It was long and very uncomfortable but I have to give Dr. Orton kudos for being very thorough and professional. He clearly explained the issues and provided the options to repair and save the tooth. I didn't experience any major pain and the tooth healed (no infection) itself within 2 weeks as explained. I hope you don't but if you need a root canal, contact Dr. Orton and he'll take good care of you. read more

Always top notch care even after hours of necessity Dr. Orton really helps resolve any problems and follow up appointments are there. read more

Dr Orton is the best in the business. If you have to have a root canal done you want it done by someone that knows what they are doing. Dr Orton is that guy. Great staff, beautiful office, and all the best equipment. You're in good hands here read more

The procedure went great. Thank you Dr. Orton and your assistant for doing a great job this morning I will definitely refer your office to any of my friends for a root canal. Robin read more

These folks are horrible. I made an appointment to get a procedure done with the doc. Before the appointment, I was on the phone with the front desk person (the doc's wife) about fees. I told her what the the doc's contracted amount with Cigna was, which was verified by a Cigna rep on the phone. But she insisted the fee needs to be higher and said "I don't know how it's possible for you to talk to anyone to get the actual fee"(really? A person can not call their own insurance and get the exact fees for a doc for a procedure code that you had provided? She's never heard of that?) Then when we were calculating on the phone what the insurance portion would be and what mine would be, (let's just use the example of a total fee of $1000) she said:"Your insurance covers 80% which is $800, your portion is 20% which is $200, plus you have a $100 deductible, so you will need to pay $300." Do you see what the trick/problem is here?? She just increased the total fee that they would get from $1000 to $800+$200+$100 = $1100! She was trying to rob me $100 so blatantly! And you won't believe what happened next when I pointed out that the calculation was wrong, and the correct way should be taking out the $100 deductible from the total fist, then the insurance will pay 80% of $900, and I should pay $100 + 20% x $900. She flipped off the handle, and said "Well this is just how we calculate it and we've been done it for many years. Maybe you should go somewhere else to get your tooth done." I couldn't believe my ears and said "Are you serious? Does the doctor know that you are throwing away his business like this?" She said "Well I am his wife, and I'm part owner of the business!!" And CLICK, she hang up the phone. read more

Dr. Orton and his staff are top notch from start to finish. My 12 yr old daughter had an accident and broke a tooth and needed a root canal ASAP. They scheduled her next morning and made her feel completely at ease as soon as we walked in the door. He obviously is a professional in all ways. She was done in 40 minutes! We even had a follow up call from his wife that works in the office to make sure my daughter was doing ok. I highly recommend Orton Endodontics. I hope we never have to return but if you ever need a root canal don't hesitate to see him. read more

I am embarrassed to say that I have had to see this beautiful man twice in my life. That is certainly more times than you ever want to have to see a man who specializes in what he so lovingly refers to as "Root Canal Treatment." But about a month ago, I had my second experience with Orton Endodontics. And I have to tell you, consistency! As quick, easy, and painless as the first one was. I was given drugs if i needed them, and I honestly didn't even take the ibuprofen, so definitely not the Vicodin. I may never want another root canal, but if I do have to get one I'd prefer that Dr. Cary Orton does the job. He is quick, precise, and caring. He is soft-spoken and puts you at ease when you are about to undergo what can be a pretty scary procedure for people. Finally, Marcia at the front desk is great and even calls a day or two later to see how you are feeling. This is a great practice. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience. He was amazing and knew exactly what diagnosis was and how to fix it. I was very anxious and he was extremely patient with me and gave enough novacaine for pain which definitely helped. Thank you Dr Orton for fitting me in on the same day and at the end of your work day. Office staff was very nice also. I will definitely go back if needed! read more

I was referred from my dentist to L Cary Orton of Orton Endodontics and after 2 hours I received a root canal. After 6 months I still felt sensitivity in tooth and didn't want to go back in. Lets face it, the procedure is not a favorite for anyone. Dr Orton took Xrays, C-scan and recommended to go back in to try and access that one root causing problems. I was very apprehensive about the procedure, but he made me feel comfortable, and did a quick and efficient job of completing the job. Not only did he not charge me for the second procedure but he filled my crown and adjusted my bite for free as well. I would highly recommend him and his staff. Where else can you watch your favorite show on the ceiling with headphones or music to relax you by! Thank you Dr. Orton read more

I just got a root canal from Dr. Orton, from when I entered his practice I felt totally comfortable. He knew exactly what he was doing and you could sense his professionalism and confidence. The whole treatment took under 45 minutes. He prescribed me pain killers which I didn't even need. I had very little pain during the root canal treatment and almost no pain afterwards. I highly recommend him as a specialist endodontist. Thank-you Dr. Orton and your office for a job well done!! read more

If I could give Dr. Orton and his staff 10 stars, I would. I came here after 6 months of dealing with horrible dentists and endodontists. My dentist had tried 9 times to give me a root canal on a tooth (he also ended up leaving string inside my gums), and a year later, that same tooth was in pain. I went to La Jolla Dental Specialty Group, and an endo there said the pain was coming from another tooth, and decided to give me another root canal. Few months later, the original tooth was still in pain. My La Jolla endo told me I just needed to be on a smoothie diet for a month (?!!!) to let the pain subside, and would send me home when I came in pain...even when the temporary filling fell out he said he didn't have time to re-fill it and to just keep drinking smoothies. I was in so much pain and didn't know who to trust. I went to a new dentist and got a second opinion from another endodontist who told me I should just pull the original tooth out - without much explanation or examination. It just didn't feel right. After getting several opinions, I felt Dr. Orton was the most thorough, he spent time trying to properly diagnose the problem before doing any kind of procedure. Turned out the original tooth I had an issue with had an extra canal that was never treated by my first dentist - and Dr. Orton was able to treat it in one visit, and saved my tooth! The next day his staff member called to follow up with me - I felt so relieved and well taken care of. I've been raving about Dr. Orton since my procedure this summer...I'm so glad I decided to leave La Jolla Dental Specialty group to find this office. Thank you so much for taking the time and care to save my teeth! Extra perks: a basket full of dental goodies by the front desk :) read more

I had a root canal done by Dr Orton. He listened to my story and answered my questions with great patience. He did not push me to do the xray because I am concerned with radiation. I felt no pain or discomfort in the process. The tooth is doing good so far, I'd like to thank him for the great work. read more

I was reffered to him by my dentist for a root canal. They have a very nice office. Superb office staff. He made sure I was comfortable the whole time. I felt relaxed. If you need a root canal done, this is the place to go. read more

Dr. Orton and his staff are wonderful. I wish I can give him 100 stars about his treatment. I never EVER had a experience like this before. I'm almost fall asleep and I was very relaxing during my root canal done. I had a horrible experience by my previous Endodonics so I was extremely afraid. But now, I am good to go. My oldest son went to Dr. Orton first and he loves him so I thought I could go. Now he is my family's Endodonics dentist for sure. No question, He is a genius. I'm HIGHLY recommend. read more

Dr Orton is amazing at what he does! Getting a root canal is nobody's idea of fun, but if Dr Orton does it, believe me, it will not ruin your day. He is gentle, he explains everything and he is just an all around nice guy! I left my appointment today feeling great. Absolutely no pain or discomfort! I will forever recommend Dr Orton to anybody needing an Endodontist! read more

As many people, I have a tremendous fear of going to the dentist, especially a specialist when I need something major done. My general dentist referred me to Dr. Orton. Of course, my anxiety started as soon as I heard I needed work done, I think it probably was more than root canal. My consultation with Dr. Orton and his staff was amazing. They were professional, yet reassuring and made me feel at ease.... Dr. Orton was unbelievable.. Calm, understood my fear, reassuring, and most of all it was obvious that he cared for his patients. He explained in great detail what needed to be done and why. This meant a lot to me considering I worked in healthcare for thirty years and patient education is high on my priority list. He was patient with my questions, over and over.. After I had my consult, I made an appointment.. I would never say that going to the dentist is a good experience, however, after having four injections in the roof of my mouth and not feeling the needles enter and having sincere caring and reassurance, it turned out to be a good experience.. Never thought I would say that... My regular dentist is the same so I probably should have realized he would not have sent me to just anyone. They called me the following day to see how I was doing. I had to call back for a question and they put me right through to Dr. Orton. He staff is fantastic and I can't say anything negative about Dr. Orton or his staff.. A huge five star for this team... read more

I was referred to Dr. Orton after my dentist saw an infection underneath a tooth that already had a root canal and crown. Dr. Orton, basically re-did the root canal. I was numb of course, but not knowing, wondered how much pain I would be feeing after. Dr. Orton gave me 2 prescriptions, neither of which I filled. After the numbness wore off, I had NO PAIN AT ALL! NONE! Needless to say I was one happy camper! You'd never know you were in a dentist office, it's more like being in a Tuscan Villa, very nicely done, top notch! Dr. Orton and his staff were wonderful...... read more

Dr Orton and his staff are wonderful!!! Dr Orton and is very thorough and even though he prescribed an antibiotic prescription, it was never filled. I had no pain during the procedure and even after the numbness wore off, there was very minor discomfort. it did not even warrant ibuprofen! The best experience one can have for a root canal procedure! read more
