My husband and I had been looking for a new dentist, Monroe Smiles was recommended to us. We have nothing but great things to say about this dentist! The entire team is so friendly and kind! Very detailed and knowledgeable. We would recommend to anyone looking for a dentist!
Highly recommend Monroe Smiles! Everyone in the office is so friendly, they’re gentle and make sure you’re comfortable. I like that they have modern updated equipment and the waiting area is decorated cute to feel more cozy and not like a medical facility.
Very welcoming environment. The staff was really friendly and kind. For someone that gets really bad anxiety about going to the dentist this was the perfect place. Very clean. Helped me understand everything that was going on and answered my questions.
I went in to get a chipped front tooth looked at thinking I’d need a crown. Dr Johnson said I didn’t need one he fixed it right then. He did a perfect job on it. The staff is very professional and friendly. I will definitely be back for routine work. I highly recommend.
I highly recommend Monroe Smiles. I recently moved to the area and was concerned about finding a new dentist. I am so happy to have found them. They are genuinely kind, have all the latest equipment, and really know their stuff! Best dental office I’ve been to in my 56 years!!
I just came back from my first appointment at Monroe Smiles and it was by far the best experience I have had at a dentist office. It is a very nice facility, everything is top end, the entire staff is friendly and great to chat with, and they are very transparent in their care and share details and explanations for what they are doing and seeing. I have found my “forever dentist”. Highly recommended!
Staff were sweet and gentle even though I hadn’t had a cleaning in a long time. They explained everything to me in a way that I could understand. Highly recommend Dr. Johnson and his team!
Everybody here is extremely friendly, attentive, and professional. I always have an enjoyable experience here and receive excellent care. They even went above and beyond to celebrate my birthday! They’ve always communicated clearly, provided a clean environment, and resolved any questions or concerns I’ve had. Nothing but good things to say about this place and I recommend it to all.
Great atmosphere, really friend staff, quick working and know what they’re doing. I really enjoyed my experience and that is something I never thought I’d say about going to the dentist. Very happy to have found them!
Excellent facility, staff and professionalism. Total excellence from the moment you walk in the door to sitting back in the chair to completing the visit and walking out. No surprises, awesome people and exactly what you want in a dental experience. Keep up the great work. Thank you, Happy Dental Patient
Root canals are necessary when a tooth has become infected. This happens when bacteria reaches the pulp (the soft tissue found on the inside of a tooth). The bacteria can also cause painful inflammation, which can make it difficult to bite and chew and may interfere with your day-to-day activities. By getting a root canal, you can remove the inflamed and infected tissue and rebuild your tooth.
Although root canals have been made out to be the bad guy of dentistry, they are actually very beneficial. In the right hands, a root canal treatment doesn’t produce any more discomfort than you would experience from getting a tooth filling. Even so, we’ll use a local anesthetic to ensure a comfortable procedure. Sedation is always available as well.
Yes, it is possible for a root canal to become infected again. There are several reasons why this might occur, including not getting a crown soon enough after treatment. If your root canal becomes infected a second time, we would need to do endodontic retreatment, essentially repeating the root canal treatment a second time.
