Riversdale Endodontics - Dr. Gregory Tilley

I had a bit of an issue with my molar that my dentist couldn't figure out so I got referred to Dr Tilley. My root canal took an hour, that's it! One visit only! I've had dental fillings that were more intensive than this. It's expensive but you get what you pay for. He explained things clearly, with a lot of care. I felt comfortable the entire time. He's an expert in his field and trains others, so he knows what he's doing.

Dr Tilley did my root canal in one visit. I highly recommend this procedure over the standard 3 to 4 procedures at a normal dentist. Will require a referral from your dentist.

I am sure his work is is fine. But as a patient do you really want the work worth over 2000 dollars done in one sitting. He's drilling but you are the person with your mouth ultra wide open and under severe stress for over an hour. The numbing needle is also done in a hurry. To be honest it hurt. I think he should let people know there are two x-rays involved and that he isn't using a thryoid shield unless they complain. He might say it is the same radiation as watching TV but why high-tale it out of the room during the x-ray. Harvard dentistry school is examining the impact of x-rays on thyroids. Because dental radiography, a common source of low-dose diagnostic radiation exposure in the general population, is often overlooked as a radiation hazard to the gland and may be associated with the risk of thyroid cancer. An increased risk of thyroid cancer has been reported in dentists, dental assistants, and x-ray workers; and exposure to dental x-rays has been associated with an increased risk of meningiomas and salivary tumours. I'm missing half a thryoid I would have demanded the shield if I'd known he was going to do an x-ray but I wasn't even told that the x-ray was happening. I was simply told to hold this while he and the dental nurse high-tailed it out of the room.

I have had three root canals with Dr Tilley and it has always been so easy. His dental nurse has an incredible bedside manner and he is not in it for anything other than what is medically needed. And they have parking.
