Southtown Endodontics

Can’t believe I’m posting a review for a root canal, but I’m grateful for the fast and thorough treatment. I’m a nervous patient when it comes to dental work and I was immediately put at ease. Friendly staff, understandable explanations, and they did a great job.

I came here for a a retreatment of a root canal. After having them relieve the pain that my old root canal was causing, by draining the fluid from the infection inside of my tooth, they went on to have new posts put inside of the existing crown. However, the new posts were made of a metal alloy which they failed to tell me. Once I confronted them with the issue they told me that it was standard to do so. WHY WOULD I WANT PUT SOMETHING TOXIC IN MY MOUTH. I get it that it needs structure -using a metal post achieves that- but at least give me the dignity to choose what I want to put into my body (a ceramic material would be a better alternative). Anyway, after over a year of the retreatment posts, and surface of the crown, I see the type of work that they do, spoiler alert: it’s not that great. The work that they have done has failed, regardless of the material being use, and there is an infection again. In fact, the tooth now feels like it has broken off away from the jaw bone and it is ready to break off at any moment. It doesn’t even feel like it is there and I’m afraid to chew on it. I would look at other places before coming here, because I feel like the endodontists here are more interested in carrying on a conversation with their coworkers, not putting in the effort at what they do and it is more like a quick profit making scheme.
