I recently found myself in need of a dentist,after years of not being able to afford one,I had no clue but to ask around and take a guess,that landed me seeing not one but two general dentist who both gave me different Dx, even on what teeth had cavities,with the xrays they both charged me for,it's hard to believe they were so far off from each other! I also have a more serious problem with both my canine teeth up front,from having C.O.P.D and the use of the inhalers,abuteral, and so on; it left both teeth on each side severely decayed,the first dentist said they could preform two root canals and did not act like it was of high importance,either was the advance cleaning that I was charged 140.00 for that only took 5 minutes,(could this be cause the doctor was leaving) I left them paying 225.00, and my teeth didn't feel like they even had a cleaning! The second dentist had me in tears not knowing if my teeth could be saved,they were so bad,also he didn't think I was a candidate for inplants so told me if he tryed he felt the rootcanals would waste my money and if they worked would only last a year at best! Another 175.00 out the door, I was surprised neither dentist referred me to a Endodonist who specializes in only doing root canals,so that week I researched online and found the best Endodonist in Florida,minutes from my home! He is one of only 25 percent certified in his field,a speaker at national dental conventions,has been a mentor and teacher to his peers,he's all 4 star reviews and came highly educated.The office staff was able to get me in right away,the doctors office already had my xrays sent over from both Dr,and they only need to take two single xrays of the teeth in question, the Dr.Beach took the time to hear my conserns and fears,and explained in English so I understood what the problem was and if they were able to be saved. I felt so comfortable with this Dr. And his staff,I decided even though the other general dentist wanted to do the root canals,he was the qualified person for the job! When I went back to my dentist,he was kinda rude because I went outside to a specialist,he said I needed to see a periodonist to confirm he could make crowns to be able to fit over my teeth and gum surgury cause my teeth were high up and I didn't have much gum tissue,he said I was a grinder and cause of my bite I would not be a candidate for inplants(which I didn't want) when I tryed to make a apt it was going to cost 250.00 for just a consult!! I didnt have the money for that,and with no dental insurance,I had just enough to go along with my intuition. I seen Dr.Beach yesterday,he went over the procedure,calmed me down,was so gentle,I didn't even feel the needle he used to numb my mouth,but I know it worked cause I couldn't even feel my nose!! After he finished the first root canal he numbed the left side of my mouth,same thing,I didn't feel a thing, I brought a iPod and earbuds so I didn't have to hear loud drilling,but I didn't even need them! Before I knew it he was done,it took about a hour in a half max!! He then answered anymore questions took new images of the work he completed with side by side before and after,as well as a detailed report with the teeth he worked on,where in drilled to clean out the decay,the size and space,as well as all information my dentist will need to finish the restoration. I was so impressed,I was only upset,cause I fear going to anyone else to finish the job in fear they will mess up his work! I wish he was able to be my dentist and handle all my needs,even without insurance he was priced so fair,it cost 150.00 more per tooth for using a specialist than a general dentist, but in calling around other specialist would have been 265.00 per tooth more!! Even if I had insurance,If Dr.Beach could be my perminant Dentist I would pay cash,that's how good he is,and another thing his staff are just as inpressive!! If you need a rootcanal I highly recommend this office,I will never use another if I ever need a root canal again, I had three fillings do e last week that hurt so much and these rootcanals I didn't feel a thing, I could have napped if I wasn't so nervous before we started! These are my front teeth and I wouldn't trust them to anyone else, I pray the final outcome by the general dentist is just a impressive!! 5 stars for this Dr!!! Thank you so much!! read more
