But then again, considering my experience with San Diego North Endodontics, I should have expected this. Early last year, I had enough pain to make an emergency visit to my regular dentist. They subsequently sent me over to Doctor Chesler's office for a consultation. Turns out I had an incomplete root canal from a previous dentist many years ago that wasn't done quite right. They got me in right away to resolve the issue and that is exactly what they did! The entire procedure was a cake walk with immediate pain relief. Although there was residual pain due to healing, it has gradually been getting less. My 6-month visit revealed substantial improvement, and my one-year visit showed missing bone structure filling back in. It's to the point of only slight sensation while flossing. Ok, so much for the technical stuff. Regarding Dr. Chesler, I felt like I was his ONLY patient! He kept me fully informed about everything sparing no details. Additionally, he is compassionate in addressing any patient concerns. It's like he goes beyond the call of duty!

Dr.Hanlon and his staff are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! On Easter, my 12 year old son bit into something hard and cracked his tooth. I received a referral to Dr.Hanlon from his pediatric dentist for a possible root canal. At first, it was a scary thought that he needed a root canal and being that my son gets anxious seeing doctors I was preparing for a traumatic experience. The experience we received from Dr.Hanlon, Presley and the rest of his staff was nothing short of excellent! Dr.Hanlon walked us through the whole anatomy of his tooth and detailed what procedure needed to be done. He answered all our questions, gave us detailed instructions and my son said the whole procedure was practically painless. This was truly such a pleasant experience! If we ever need a root canal in the future, I wouldn't go any where else than to Dr.Hanlon! Thank you so much Dr.Hanlon and staff! read more
