I was referred here to get a root canal done because my case was extremely difficult. Dr. Dahl was the endodontist I saw, and he was amazing! My mouth was the numbest it's ever been, and I even fell asleep during the procedure!!! I usually have bad anxiety at the dentist, but Dr. Dahl was great!! He seemed super knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions, especially because my case was tricky. I actually was told to come here by a friend and paid out of pocket and I would pay it all over again and then some. I just wanted my tooth fixed right, and I wanted it done right the first time. I would STRONGLY recommend Dr. Dahl to any and everyone who needs an endodontist. P.S. As a budding ornithologist, it was crazy how good he was at bird calls!

The staff and Dr Dahl took great care of me. They have the latest equipment, and I was comfortable the entire time. I'm amazed that he found all 6 roots and left post space in all of them to help my dentist save my tooth.

The patient's name is Anne Becking not Fred. I almost wish my problem could have been solved by Jason Ames but not so. I have to seek additional help elsewhere thanks to him. I now know it's not root canal problem but an abscess.

Greeted by front office staff they were very nice and helpful in filling out paperwork. The wait was short. I got called back early. Dr. Ames and his assistant were very professional. They made me feel comfortable and relaxed. The procedure went great I didn't feel any pain. If I have to have another root canal I will use this office...

This was my second root canal but first experience at this office, this was a completely different experience than my first one. Charged me way less, the doctor and nurses are kind and personable. He explained everything to me and made sure I was comfortable before during and after procedure. Even the procedure itself went much smoother/ comfortably than my last one. I was even given post op medications prescribed where as my previous endo sent me home with nothing *cough* Fleming endo *cough* 10/10 will come back if I'm ever in a dental pickle again!

I had never had a root canal before and was concerned about the process and discomfort. Dr Ames was quick, professional, friendly and put my fears at ease and completed the treatment, pain free during and I haven't had a bit of pain after. They were great!

Dr Ames is truly amazing he has the best bedside manner of any dentist I've ever been to - I'm 61 so that's a lot of dentists. His office staff are so friendly, helpful and accommodating- I love them. His assistant Safari took excellent care of me and they performed the root canal in just 30 minutes. If you must have a root canal then Dr Ames is the best!! Thank you Dr Ames and thank your entire team!!!
