I was referred to Dr. Dermody with a troublesome front tooth which had been root treated on a few occasions previously. The root was infected again and I was hoping he would be able to do a job on it which would save it. When he assessed it, he was not keen to operate because after four previous unsuccessful surgeries by other dentists, the probability of another treatment working was very low. This was his advice and he told me that I could see him again to rediscuss with no additional consultation fee. I went to him again for another chat about it because I found him very approachable and I had some more questions. I was not very happy about having to get a dental implant but ultimately this was the best option for me.
I believe there are many dentists who are keen to perform surgeries and charge large sums of money for them even if they are aware that there may be no benefit for the patient.
I would highly recommend Dr. Dermody because he is working with the patient's best interests as his main priority and not his own financial gain. read more
