The term ‘root canal’ usually invokes fear in patients. For whatever reason, that seems to still be the trend, and it shouldn’t be. Root canals should be painless, and here at our office, they are painless. We never initiate any treatment unless a patient is comfortably numb. We are able to provide pain relief same day should a patient walk in with a toothache.
Having to switch to new medical professionals for care (in this case because of a geographic move) can be a little scary, not knowing if the relationship I’d built with my old doctors can be matched. The office here was able to fit me in very quickly for a 6 month cleaning – within a couple days of my initial contact with them, which I was really happy with. My hygienist was very courteous and professional, did a great job. I’d been having some pain on one particular tooth and when Dr Pierce came in to do the overall assessment, he too was very professional, not rushed and answered all my questions regarding options and possible future treatments. I feel l confident that I’ve found a new group of dental professionals that I can rely on going forward.
I have had really bad experiences with dentists in the past so I was really hesitant to make an appointment with a new dentist. But Dr. Knight is absolutely incredible. She takes time to explain everything she’s doing and is really just so kind. I have several appointments to get long overdue work done and after just a couple appointments I feel super comfortable with her. The front desk staff and dental hygienists are also super nice. I’m really thankful I found this office.
This is by far the best dental practice in Kansas City! They are kind, thorough with explanations you are able to understand, updated technology and always on time with no or very little wait. You will love the receptionists, the dental assistants and both Dr. Ashley Knight and Dr. Robert Pierce. If you want a painless experience experience, I assure you, this is the place!!!
Dr. Knight is the best dentist! She is warm and kind and always explains things as she goes. She does not oversell things that are not needed and give options for all things that are needed! She has taken care of my kids, me and my husband, my parents, and my grandparents! Their office is clean and modern and staff is friendly and helpful. They have referred me to several other amazing providers for additional services needed.
One visit and I am totally sold! Front office staff are top notch! Very friendly and knowledgeable regarding insurance. My dental hygienist and dentist were so very nice and gentle on my teeth! I could not be more pleased! Highly recommend! I would say that I can’t wait for my next appointment, but I have to have a cavity filled……
I have come here since I was a child and have always had good experiences. They were so patient with my 3 year old son. He had a great first experience with the dentist!
I know some people don’t like going to dentistry, but I always like mine. I googled and found this Dentistry on-line with the highest ratings, so I decided to give it a try. Ever since my first visit several years ago till this day, I always enjoy my dentist appointments, from the moment I walking in till the moment I walking out, I always like the friendly atmosphere, the warm feeling it gives. I always enjoy some short chats with the same lady that does my teeth.
I’ve been a patient here for just a few years now and I really enjoy the staff and Doctors. They all want to see each patient receive the best dental care.
In general, it’s better to keep teeth than remove them. As long as a tooth can be saved, we are going to recommend a root canal. Removing the infected tissue will stop your pain. Then we can fill the tooth and cap it so it looks natural and functions as good as new. We can perform extractions, but we prefer to keep your smile as complete as we can.
You can avoid a root canal by being proactive about your oral health. This starts with your daily brushing and flossing at home. This also should include routine cleanings and exams at our office. If you do develop a cavity or gum disease, treating it as early as possible can prevent the infections that make root canals necessary.
In modern dentistry, we can perform nearly any procedure, including root canals, with little or no pain. Using a combination of local anesthetic and dental sedation, we can block pain while we remove the infected tissue from your tooth. You may feel some soreness for a few days while you recover, but many patients report they feel no pain at all.
Your individual situation, the location of the tooth in question, and other factors will ultimately determine the cost of your root canal. We recommend you come in for an initial exam and consultation so we can assess your situation. Then we can give you an accurate estimate of your root canal treatment so you know what to expect.
