Ok I admit it – when it comes to any kind of dentistry I am a total wimp…but especially surgery! My experience with Dr. Hershkin and his entire team was the best ever!! Briefly, I had a cracked molar that I had ignored for a couple of years (just avoided chewing on that side). Well on examination it was found that the fractured tooth had perforated the nerve canal – Ouch. One very good periodontist told me that the tooth could be removed…BUT there was the risk of some paralysis – Yikes! I freaked and my dentist referred me to Dr. H. He carefully examined me and I recounted my story and fear of paralysis. I remember Dr. H – looking at me confidently and telling me that he could get the tooth out and prep it for an implant. His confidence, and the staff’s incredible professionalism and pleasantness put me at ease. The procedure – remove the cracked tooth, build up the area with bone substitute, and place a titanium post for the implant. Not only was the procedure pain free – I had zero-pain following the procedure – never needed any pain killers. Today the crown is in place, there is NO paralysis. Dr. H knows what he is doing and keeps you informed before, during, and after the process. He is incredible, the team is amazing, attentive and very caring. The Best experience ever!
