I was & still in extreme pain because all they did was say take motrin and prescribed me penicillin which didn't work. I had to go to the ER where they thought I had sepsis from my infected tooth.

Price: I was referred by my dentist for a root canal after having intense pain in a tooth for a…read moreweek. When I went I knew exactly what tooth needed work, I was asked to make a payment up front before they billed my insurance. I just got a bill in the mail (almost three months after the date of service). I'm almost offended by this bill. The root canal in itself is a huge expense, add in the x-rays and we're already well over a grand. There is an extra $104 oral evaluation charge and random "service charges" added on that date several months after treatment. The examination charge would have seemed fine other than that I had maybe a 2 minute discussion where Dr. Schaeffer checked to make sure I did have the correct tooth, and then very quickly there were needles in my mouth and my treatment started. Care: I am a busy person. I work full time and was told by my dentist that she was "fast," so I was already appreciating that. I'm not a scared dental patient. I have had some work done before, but I honestly was so anxious and on edge during the treatment. I was actually in and out in less than 40 minutes with completely paperwork and paying. Her work was so fast and aggressive and she began working immediately after shooting me up with the numbing agent. It was a very uncomfortable experience. I have never felt like so much like a dollar sign than a patient. The good news is she seemed to do good work and I had no issues since then. I'm just not thankful for this obscene bill right before Christmas.

I showed up, filled out paperwork on the fancy tablet and e-pen they gave me, and I was briefed on my root canal. The procedure was pretty much painless and Dr. Schaeffer is great at what she does. I highly recommend them.

I was referred to Dr. Erickson a few weeks ago due to a root canal that was too complicated for my…read moreregular dentist. No fault to the dentist, I just have longer roots than the average human apparently. First of all, he was able to see me the same day. My past experiences with being referred to endodontist usually meant waiting another week or more before I could be seen. Dr Erickson and his team were able to get me numb enough to finish the root canal. I didn't feel any pain and they even gave me a blanket and some apple juice because I was cold and shaking from the additional numbing they did. Afterwards they provided after hours number in case I had any issues. I was able to text him and he would always respond promptly and put up with my constant worries and questions. Unfortunately I did have to go back and have an apicoectomy on the same tooth. Due to the complications from the initial root canal and my lovely long root! Now I've had countless work done on my mouth but this procedure scared me to death. The team there were very patient with me and put me at ease. I'm recovering from it now and so far everything is going good. It's definitely reassuring to know if I do have anymore problems that he will be there. I wish he was an oral surgeon. I'd go to him in a heartbeat to have implants done. If I ever do need anymore endodontic treatment, he is the only endodontist I'll go to as well as if any of my family will require it.

I've been through routine cleanings and have been very happy with all of the hygienists as well as Dr. Jason Brown. I have also completed the invisalign program while a patient with Lakeside Dental and am extremely happy with my results. For me, the program took about 2 years to complete and Dr. Brown made sure all of the concerns about my teeth were addressed and corrected. He was very diligent and knowledgeable in this area. I was very impressed with the technology available with the invisalign impressions. Here, rather than the old school dental impressions, they used the iTero instrument that takes real-time 3D images of your teeth. I was in the office today for a routine cleaning and met Dr. Jones, who seems very knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you all for everything you do to give me a beautiful smile!

Dr Hampton pulled one of his teeth and left a section of root in his gum causing infection and pain until the root finally worked it's way out of the gum. In the mean time, Dr Hampton prescribed several antibiotics that really messed up Larry's digestive system so he still has chronic diarrhea. I generally just go for cleaning every 6 months and although I have some problems I'm hesitant to share and get the care I need. The hygienist doesn't clean the front of my teeth at all.

I have a gold crown. After my biopsy, my pain was unbearable. If anyone has had a toothache, they understand the pain can make one crazy.

While the receptionist was polite, her concern was getting paid and the next step, and the next step and the next step. I just wanted this crown removed to see if the pain would stop, I was thinking I would make future plans after I had this done. Possibly remove other crowns and have them replaced. I just wanted to take things one step at a time. She decided to put me on hold to speak to the dentist. No one ever came back on the phone.
