Terry Turner, DDS

I had been experiencing an ache in my lower right jaw for some time, and was told by my dentist that he suspected that I was experiencing referred pain from a possible infection under my lower right canine tooth that had been subject to a root canal years ago in another state. I dreaded getting what's called a "re-treatment" of that root canal. So I spent a lot of time researching endodontists in town. I actually did a consultation with someone my dentist recommended, but he was so cavalier when I asked what if the tooth breaks during te-treatment ("Oh that could happen, we'll just do a crown!" while waving his hand and rolling his chair away), that I got alarmed. (Guess that first endodontist didn't care about saving my tooth, maybe more interested in getting a new boat instead! At least, that is how it felt...).So back to research I went. And I found Dr. Terry Turner. I had my root canal retreatment on Wednesday, 48 hours ago, and he is amazing!!! The numbing went well (and I am a pain wimp), and he explained every step as he went so I would know what to expect and what he was doing. I deeply appreciate his attention to detail, to me as his patient, and to his work. The procedure went quickly and perfectly, and I have needed only ibuprofen for the slight amount of pain after even though he gave me a prescription for percocet in case I needed it. I have a follow up in a few weeks--he wants to ensure the infection clears up before placing the permanent filling (something I strongly suspect the original endodontist failed to do). Dt. Turner is highly skilled, easy to talk to, very smart, and very caring. I highly recommend him and his staff.

I had to get my first root canal and boy I wasn't thrilled on the idea. Due to being in so much pain, I had no choice. My general dentist referred me to Dr. Turner. He was nothing short of extraordinary. His staff made the process VERY easy. I called and they took time on the phone to answer ALL my questions. When I arrived, they gave me a warm welcome. The doctor was no different. He took time to make sure I was comfortable the entire procedure. I liked how clean his office was and how "new school" he was with the procedures he used. I seriously felt zero pain the entire procedure. I can't say that about any other procedure I've ever had done in the past with other dentists! I was advised by several friends as well as family how great he is, and now I'm a Dr Turner believer. He truly is the best around!
