…that for me. He is incredibly patient, calm, and reassuring. He promised me I wouldn’t feel any pain during my root canal — and he was absolutely right. The procedure lasted about an hour and a half and I didn’t feel a single ounce of pain. His work is truly impeccable. In fact, it’s so good that I flew all the way from Iceland just to see him again. The receptionists are amazing and so welcoming, and his dental assistant was fantastic as well. If you’re looking for a dentist for a root canal in Thorpe Lea Dental Stains practice I highly recommend James and the entire team. Hands down the best dental experience I’ve ever had.”
