I had recently went in for root canal treatment for my tooth, and I was attended to right away. I'm extremely happy with the results. I had no pain, no swelling and no gum irritation afterwards. Dr. Bahl does excellent work and I'm always happy with the results with the work on my teeth. The dental team does excellent work and explain everything step by step and ask if you're ok during the procedure, and answer all my questions. The office women do great work and are very accommodating and go over the treatment plan with you and are always open to any questions you might have.
