Cornerstone Endodontics

I had my first ever root canal today. I was pretty nervous but y’all!! It wasn’t bad at all. Dr. Kayla Tavares was incredible. She was gentle, explained every step as it was happening, and was a ninja!! At one point during the procedure she was humming a Christmas carol that was playing, and it had the most calming effect on me. I knew things were going well and she was completely confident if she was able to hum “Santa Baby”. I hope I never need another root canal, but if I do, I will ONLY go to Dr. Tavares!!! 10/10 recommended!!

Having a second root canal done was not something I was looking forward to. Dr Tavares and her team were amazing. The office is set up to be a calm soothing place that makes you feel at ease. I appreciated the opportunity to pick out music to listen to rather than a loud TV program. The soft jazz station helped calm my nerves as I went though the procedures. Dr Tavares explained everything that was happening as she did it so I wasn't surprised by anything. As far as root canals go - Dr Tavares and her team were amazing at the work, the atmosphere, and the overall respect and kindness they showed. Thank you Dr Tavares and your wonderful team!

Unfortunately, I’ve had to have a lot of dental work done over the years and this place provides a level of service that is far above what anyone would expect from a dental office. I’ve had ongoing pain for almost a year and Dr. Tavares has taken such a kind and knowledgeable approach to my case. I’ve been able to get a hold of her multiple times after hours and they’ve fit me right in when I needed them. You are truly in good hands with this place and they really seem to care about getting you back to 100% and making you feel confident and comfortable. I highly recommend them.

I'm not giving 5 starts for what the doctor did but rather for what she *didn't* do. Another Dr might've just done a root canal and been done but Dr T tested and saw I didn't need one. My tooth and root were healthy. She sent my x-ray to a radiologist for further study and now I'm seeing an oral surgeon to look for possible problems in my jaw bone or lymph nodes.

This doctor demonstrated honesty, a real concern for getting at the actual issue, and a willingness to ask for another opinion if she doesn't feel 100% about something. If this *is* cancer, she may have saved a life. Definitely would recommend.
