    I recently had a root canal done by Dr. Alessandra Ritter. (I learned about her when my wife was…read morereferred to her by my wife's own endodontist for a particular delicate and unusual problem. Dr. Ritter literally is the endodontist whom other endodontists think of when it comes to problems they find daunting.) I've had probably 7 root canals over the last 50 years - twice I had to have them redone, mostly due to endodontists overlooking small branch canals in my teeth - an out-of-the-ordinary multiplicity of canals - leaving some nerve tissue untreated in that one such small branch canal to later develop into an abscess.Rather than wait for problems to develop, I went directly to Dr. Ritter to avoid the problems in the first place. Dr. Ritter has the newest in diagnostic equipment and the best in treatment technology and technique. Her staff is well-trained and more than competent, and alert to patient concerns: They listen and engage. The office itself is well-appointed, artfully (but not ostentatiously) designed, modern yet traditional, and of obviously quality materials and workmanship. The ambiance reflects the solid competence and fundamental artistry of the people working there. In my recent visit to her office (the first was several years ago for a root canal on another tooth), she shows great confidence in her practice, arriving quickly (but not hurriedly) at well-considered solution to an unexpected issue - with me, some significant decay hidden from X-ray by the old, old crown on that particular tooth. She removed the decay, rebuilt the tooth, and performed the root canal. In a week or so, my regular dentist will fit it for a new crown. The procedure was done with alacrity but not speed. Dr. Ritter is in-network to some dental insurers, and works out-of-network for a moderate premium Some people have complained that her pricing is on the high end. Perhaps that is due to her use of some of the newest technology, technology not accepted by insurance companies (CT scan, laser treatments, for example.). So, perhaps the final charges may be more than at some other endodontist. I can only say that, "You get what you pay for." Root canals involved delicately articulated dental structures, and the more complete and detailed the view is of those structures, the better able the dentist will be to deal with problems. That's a pretty simple concept. (I think it's worth the added expense.) My few bad experiences with other endodontists were due entirely to their not having a clear picture of what was going on with my teeth. The subsequent cost of redoing faulty root canals (two separate occasions on two separate teeth), plus treatment by an oral surgeon for one of them - that cost more than covered any premium I would have paid Dr Ritter in the first place, several times over. My rating for Dr. Ritter here is unsurprisingly 5/5. If I could, I'd giver her a 6 out of 5, maybe a 7 out of 5. I wouldn't dream of having someone else perform the delicate operations needed for my teeth. PS I'm 76 years old. As we age, dental issues become more prevalent, complicated by the wear-and-tear of many decades of use and the lost vitality bone mass. In my opinion, the need for more specialized treatment becomes greater simply because I'm older - that is, I'm old - now.

    Dr Ritter and her staff is simply amazing. Their care is exceptional in so many ways.read more

    I've posted a 5-star review of Dr. Ritter's Chapel Hill office, in which I said what almost…read moreeveryone else is saying: Dr. Ritter is superb in her field of expertise. She is the one other endodontists refer their patients to when a case is particularly problematic or daunting. I'm 76. I have slightly more complex root structures on my teeth than usual, so it's very important that nothing be missed on a root canal, because I've twice had to have root canals redone, with accompanying oral surgery for one, because the endodontist missed a small side canal. I trust Dr. Ritter never to miss complexities like this. Part of the reason the prior endodontists missed the complication was that their diagnostic equipment didn't discern it. Dr. Ritter has the most advanced diagnostic and treatment equipment available (CT Scan and laser treatment). That costs a bit more, because my insurance won't cover this new equipment. For me, it means the difference between getting the job done well the first time and spending several days in incredible pain because a doctor missed something. In other words, you get what you pay for. Dr. Ritter is in-network with some dental insurers and works out-of-network with others (plus a moderate premium). My experience with other dentists and endodontists informs me that her rates are within the normal range for practitioners of her skill in the area. There are added costs, depending on insurance, plus the diagnostics and treatments not yet covered by insurance. It's worth it, every penny of it. You truly get what you pay for. Paying a bit more for the kind of expert care Dr. Ritter provides is worth it.

    I have not been to this dentist, but I did call and ask several questions. The cost for a…read moreconsultation is almost $400! X-rays are taken. The root canal itself is about $1,400. After that, it is necessary to return to your original dentist for completion. All in all, $3,000 to fix a tooth is not worth it for an 81-year-old woman. It certainly seems to me that money is more important than the health of an old lady or anyone else for that matter. It seems to be a symptom of our "new world."

    Sometimes you don't think about things like a dental practice when you're reading or writing…read morereviews. I've been going to Dr. Speight for the decade-plus that I've lived in the area and have always found it friendly, yet professional. There has only been one personnel change in my care team in that time (due to retirement), which says a lot about the commitment of the staff and the guidance of the practice management. They have a nice waiting area (but I spend little time in there since they are usually running on time), an all-digital X-ray, and online scheduling/reminder systems. I've changed insurance a few times, but it's always been seamlessly handled. Great team!

I know Dr Speight is no longer there but I had contacted her about my insurance because it previously had the wrong date of birth n I was referred out n I provided the ppl the correct information but I asked them to contact her to make sure that they had the right information well I called and she basically told me that I needed me to come in should my ID acting like I was lying after all these years and I told her no I been a patient there for years and trying to tell me you don't believe then just cancel my future appointments and she acted like she was laughing under her breathe and that really pissed me off and I told her I am not showing you anything and cancel my appointments and she honestly didn't care ...like I been there for all these years and she don't believe me when I tell you my DOB like really .. Very poor customer services and they have lost a patient of all these years and apparently she doesn't care.. If this is how she feels well I guess it's better fue me to find me a dentist elsewhere...
