“I’ve had dental work several times in my life, but this was the first time I’ve had a root canal. After all the bad experiences I’ve heard throughout my life about root canals I was pretty nervous on how this would go. Let me tell you, this was the best dental experience I have ever had! No pain, no discomfort. This wasn’t any harder than getting your haircut. Just an absolutely unbelievable job by Dr. Penney and his staff. If you are needing to get one done and are nervous about, first of all call this guy, and second of all stop being nervous!”

“I had my root canal done today. Dr. Penney and Rachel were the best ever. Courteous, kind, and informative. The procedure was painless and fast and I’m so happy to have it done. 4 hours later still no pain at all. Thank you so much. P.S. the tvs and massage chair were a great added bonus.”

“Dr. Penney performed a root canal for me today on a tooth that has been hurting me for two years. I have horrible dental anxiety, and he was amazing the whole time. He talked me through every step of the way, and his humor definitely help to calm me down. He did amazingly fast work, and now I am sitting at home with zero tooth pain for the first time in a long time. He told me I would thank him later when I felt so much better, so THANKS Dr. Penney for dealing with a very not calm patient and getting me through the procedure. It was a much better experience than what I imagined! You and your staff are wonderful!!!!!”
