I was able to fill in new patient forms online prior to coming in. Located in a shared medical office building, the waiting and reception area is small but so clean and beautifully decorated. Most importantly, Dr. Oswald was so friendly and explains every step, making sure I know what is happening and that I am at ease. When I mentioned that I have previously been treated by another more established endodontist in the area, Dr. Oswald spoke highly of the other Dr. the only painful part of the procedure was when the anesthesia was being injected around the tooth, and that is unavoidable. The root canal itself was painless and quick. I did not even have any pain later that afternoon when the anesthesia wore off. Additionally, I had mentioned another area that my dentist had pointed out, involving a previous root canal. He took the time to take and xray and give some advice, totally appreciated. No one wants to have a root canal.. but this office and Dr. Oswald is a great place to go if it does come up!

Him and his staff were so comforting and personable about my pain and making sure I was seen right away. During my root canal he talked me through it because I was so nervous, assured me it was going great, and took an X-ray afterwards to show me exactly what he did. After my procedure once the anesthetic wore off I felt slightly sore, which is to be expected, but my pain was GONE. The next day he even called to follow up which I thought was so sweet! If you're looking for a specialist- this is him. I had no need for OTC meds or anything because he was so gentle and really got rid of the problem. After 24 hrs I feel back to normal! I am so grateful!

But Dr. Hens made the experience easy. My comfort was constantly monitored. They have blankets and pillows. Throughout the procedure, they checked in with me regularly.. Explanations and warnings for every sensation. I did not experience any pain, which is rare for me as Novacaine tends to wear off quickly on me. And from the evaluation to the completed root canal, I never doubted the expertise of the staff and Dr. Hens. They have this cool 3-D image thing and they do the x-rays in your chair so it is much simplified. She also takes the time to explain everything and answer all your questions. I never felt rushed. I have been putting up with a lower standard of care for far too long and I highly recommend this office if you have any insecurities or fears or hesitations about the work you need done. I was told by the dentist that pain proved I needed a root canal. I was also told the endodontist on staff there did not do evaluations. That was not the kind of care I want. I need more than just a flippant explanation. We were talking about removing and excavating a nerve from my head, which happened to be in my molar. So I sought out an endodontist to evaluate my tooth pulp. Dr. Hens was very thorough and I felt comfortable and certain that I needed the root canal after visiting her. It was not about sales. It was demonstrated through imagery and explanation and made complete sense.

At the beginning of my appointment, Dr. Freer did some tests to first determine whether I need a root canal. I definitely needed one! I've never seen technology like this at any other dental studio. They have large tv monitors and small cameras where you can see your tooth up close while they work. The root canal took longer then expected which he later showed me was because I had long curvy roots with some calcification. I could tell he was taking his time to make sure everything was done correctly. He did not rush to finish up and get to the next patient. He seems like he really cares about the quality of his work not the quantity. I'm two days after my appointment and already feel my tooth is back to normal. Thank you!

I went to Smiles of Eastlake for a comprehensive exam and cleaning. After reviewing my X-rays, I…read morewas told I had a couple of cavities and that some of my old fillings should be replaced. I trusted their professional judgment and agreed to the recommended treatment. During the procedure, the numbing injection was incredibly painful. I've had fillings before, so I knew this didn't feel normal. I remember thinking maybe they just used a different technique, so I trusted the process and didn't question it. Looking back, I wish I had advocated for myself. Ever since that filling was completed, that tooth has been in pain. I lived with that pain for the next 2-3 months, hoping it would eventually go away. Instead, I pushed it to the back of my mind and convinced myself it would get better. When I finally flew back to the D.C. area, I went to the dentist I've trusted for the past 10 years. He took new X-rays of the painful tooth and diagnosed me with pulpitis, an inflammation of the dental pulp. He also showed me that the new filling extended beyond the previous filling. He expressed concern about whether that additional drilling was necessary. He couldn't say for certain that it wasn't, but the look on his face and our conversation were concerning to me. I'm not accusing anyone of wrongdoing. I'm simply sharing the facts. During my comprehensive exam and X-rays at Smiles of Eastlake, there was no indication of inflammation in that tooth. After the filling was done, I developed constant pain in that same tooth and was later diagnosed with pulpitis by another dentist. My biggest issue with Smiles of Eastlake was that the office felt rushed and impersonal. It felt more like a high-volume practice than one focused on individualized patient care. Once my trust was broken, I wasn't comfortable returning. This review is really about two things. First, if you choose Smiles of Eastlake, proceed with caution. Ask questions, advocate for yourself, and don't be afraid to get a second opinion if something doesn't feel right. Second, listen to your body. I ignored persistent pain for 2-3 months because I assumed it would get better. It didn't. Whether this outcome could have been prevented, I don't know, but I do know that ignoring my symptoms wasn't the right decision. I hope my experience encourages someone else to trust their instincts and seek care sooner.
