He does the anesthetic in the bone for lower teeth, really does make it painless. I typically don't have pain after the procedure either. I recommend a smooth milkshake after--no chewing.

I spent a few minutes looking over the cost of the procedure before agreeing to it, and I didn't know until I turned around that I had a whole huddle of techs staring at me waiting. This wouldn't have been an issue if they would've been friendly about it and gave me reassurance. It seemed like they wanted me to just sign the papers and get it over with. People need to understand root canals are expensive procedures and not everyone has the funds to dish out. Looking at your paperwork and going over the costs is okay and completely reasonable. It shouldn't be treated as a waste of time or an inconvenience.

He said it was hard to tell if dry socket. But he made her feel dumb. She hadnt been to dentist in a long time and now is even debating going to another bc of this.

I was referred to Dr. Jannsen at the Jefferson City clinic after another dental specialist had…read moredifficulty completing my root canal. Upon examining and assessing the situation, he was willing to accept the challenge. He carefully shared his findings, clearly discussed the options while pointing out any risk that could be involved. Once WE determined to move forward with the procedure, it went smoothly and successfully. All the while, Dr. Jannsen was sharing what he was doing and what I could expect. All attendants made me feel comfortable. I need to mention that the staff was excellent to work with throughout. Megan and Michele made scheduling quick and easy. I was welcomed warmly by Hannah. Winter was a caring, knowledgeable technician. Susan was pleasant, quick to lend a hand when needed. And Taylor took my payment with a smile, even making me smile in the process. I don't really want to go back, but I wouldn't be afraid to do so.

During the root canal the staff constantly kept me up to point on what they were doing and what was left so the root canal went as smooth as could be. Dr. Lawson even watched my body language and when he saw any signs of pain that should not have been there, before i had to stop him, he would stop his work himself to address the painful areas where as i have had other dentists keep pushing through even when i have tried to explain how much pain they were causing. The office staff even called my regular dentist for me after trying to push up my follow up appointment to make sure this procedure was properly addressed for the crown. If i ever need more major dental surgery again, I will go right back to Dr. Lawson because he and his team made me feel completely comfortable and even more important, completely heard.

I didn't know the consequences-he didn't disclose that to me. Now I have one side of my mouth drooping down because denture is crooked. It's too short on the left side and the denture is absolutely destroying my mouth! It hurts so bad I'm going to have to go somewhere and have another one done and I don't have the funds to do it because my insurance only pays once every 5 years. He destroyed my other denture my old one that I walked in with when he shaved my natural teeth. So now I can't wear it! please save yourself some heartache and grief and don't ever walk through their doors! It's a family business too so it doesn't do any good to try to fight for your rights. Because basically they don't care. They have the upper hand!!. I bite my tongue when I'm chewing because the occlusion is off!! I wish to God I'd never put my faith & confidence in this guy!!!

I filled out their "I'd like an appointment" form and simply got a response to call the office. I…read moredid that and made an appointment. I explained I have another dentist in KC and asked them to confirm what services would be covered by insurance - that was three or four weeks before my appointment. When I got there they hadn't even recorded that I had insurance. I said (again) that I only wanted the services that would be covered by my insurance. She hadn't looked it up so she blew me off. When I went in they took bitewings and then wanted to take a pano. I mentioned AGAIN that I needed them to confirm that was covered. She said OK and did it anyway. I guess I should have refused, but I thought I might be wrong on my coverage. Dentist saw me and asked for a single tooth xray - I've never had that before and asked AGAIN it that was covered, no real response and they took it anyway. They showed me something I have known about for a long time. They then gave me an estimate for what they think I should do and it was a bit crazy since I mentioned I wasn't planning to do it. At the very beginning I had offered to pull records from my regular KC dentist and they said 'that isn't needed'. Guess what? None of that extra was covered. I was told to call when the bill came and they 'might' write it off. Just got off the phone and they did NOT write it off. Basically stating that I should have known my insurance rules and it's not their job to know that for me. Really??? So, I'm paying a bill for something I begged them to check or not do. Won't go back.
