If you’re here because you need a root canal and you’re looking for the best endodontist (as I was last week), stop looking because you’ve found her. Dr Megan Rustad is patient, personable, explains everything and tells you each step that she is about to do so you know exactly what to expect.  Best of all, Dr Rustad exudes a calm competence that is incredibly reassuring, so reassuring that although this was my first root canal and I was quite apprehensive, I actually fell asleep for several minutes while Megan was at work deep inside my jawbone.  That’s how easy the whole process is under the care of Dr Rustad.

Dr. Rustad is AMAZING. She thoroughly reviews your chart, medical history, and scans before even touching your mouth to better understand the holistic picture. And then she carefully explains every outcome and provides pros and cons for each option. The front staff is also great and the office smells and looks great. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

I’d heard about this laser light treatment as a less invasive restoration of dental cavities. I was hopeful that it could save my tooth from needing extraction which was what the previous two dentists told me. Dr Rustad acknowledged the vitamins I was taking and I immediately knew I was in the right place. The treatment itself was relatively quick and nearly pain-free, augmented with a nice warm weighted blanket and headphones to send me into a state of relaxation. She was very thorough in showing me before during and after images of my tooth with laser to clean out the cavity. I hardly felt any discomfort and afterwards my tooth feels just perfect. No sensitivity whatsoever. I believe we have saved this tooth and a lot of money and agony had I chosen the alternatives other dentists were offering. Especially appreciated that they gave me a natural herbal formula as an antibiotic as I have had negative reactions to standard antibiotics.

Dr. Kanter is welcoming, thorough and leading the industry in protocols for root canals and takes a cautious but confident approach. No one loves dental work and I have had a lot-some old, some new, some done well and sadly, some not. I now know I’m in good hands. Makes the time, investment and discomfort so much better. Educate yourselves and you’ll want this office in your go-to list of resources!

There aren’t enough words for the treatment and care I got in Dr. Rustad’s office. From A-Z, it was a 5-star experience despite the emergency last-minute nature of my visit.
