Doctor was very thorough and staff were friendly. Prices not too bad for a specialist center.

Dr. Bentkover and his staff are fantastic. Needed root canal repair. Very little discomfort, and Dr. was great about explaining everything and making the experience good. For those nervous about Covid, they have large HEPA filters all over the place and are good about masking. 10/10 experience.

Had a great experience here. I was in a lot of pain, convinced I needed a root canal and I was truly terrified. They got me in very quickly (same day), were extremely professional and calming and answered all of my questions! I ended up not needing a root canal, but Dr. Bentkover was very thorough and ruled everything out. He also made a call to give me the right recommendations since my problem was not his specialty - so I could be really confident I was getting the right recommendation. I am a huge wimp about the dentist, so I really appreciated the kindness and patience! Would definitely come here if I ever needed a root canal.

Was super freaked out by the term "root canal," but Dr. Bentkover assured me it would just be like having a long filling. He was correct. It was done in an hour and a half and I felt absolutely nothing! He also explained everything he was doing during the process which I appreciated along with his very calm and kind presence. Hopefully, I won't have to have another root canal again, but if I did, I would definitely go back here to have it done.
