I heard Dr. Grove is good Endodontic and an expert at handling complications with root canals. I would like some public feedback about his direct work with patients. I’m surprised that he only has 5 reviews. It would be wonderful if more people would leave reviews to help inform potential new patients. If you are a patient of his please honestly share your experience and comment on how his root canal work(or treatments) have been for you over time. I appreciate it.

I went to Dr Grove to get a root canal done. I was referred to him by my amazing, holistig dentist, who knows about the possible dangers of a not-properly-done root canal and the many problems it can cause to your oral, and overall health. I must say, Dr Grove is the most gentle dentist I have ever been to(and I have been to quite a few dentists). Also his staff is amazing and super kind. I did not feel the slightest pain or discomfort, not even during the numbing shot. He has a very effective technique for placing the numbing shot, told me to continue to breathe and stay relaxed: :You breathe, and I wiggle”. I don’t know how exactly he did it, but he really«wiggled in» that shot, and it was 100% pain-free. The root canal procedure itself was a breeze– no pain, mouth-guard, sunglasses for me(to shield my eyes from the bright lights), him and his assistant explained every step, so I knew at all times what was going on and what to expect. He also uses a new kind of filling material that is already being used sucessfully in Switzerland, but is still rare to come by in the US. Apparently, this filling(my dentist who referred me told me) does not expand/shrink like the common filling material often does, leaving room for all kinds of bacterial infection/leakage. I can only recommend Dr Grove and his team for any endodontic procedure you may need. He is so very skilled and so precise, I honestly felt like he was in his element while he was working on my tooth. It really seems like he enjoys what he is doing, and has a passion for it, and I think, that is very important.

After my dentist gave me the bad news of needing a root canal, I was on the phone with every endodontist in the area to shop prices and get an idea of what I was in for. I was quite surprised that the best quote I received was also one of the doctors that my dentist had recommended(Dr. Grove). I went in today for the first stage of my root canal and I was immediately happy with my decision. The staff was super friendly and the office was meticulously organized. The whole procedure took less than an hour and honest to god I felt no pain. Unbelievable. Dr. Grove and his assistant did a great job of explaining things as they went along and keeping my comfort level up. Without a doubt I recommend Dr. Grove if you need a root canal. Keep up the good work guys!!!

Seriously I have never ever in my life met a dental professional so gentle on my face and mouth yet so deliberate as he expertly performs the best root canals I have ever had in my life. First off he injects his shots of novacane with precision and SLOOOOWLY so that they are virtually pain free. All other doctors jam the novacane and cause me a lot of pain so much so that my eyes would be streaming tears down my cheeks. He uses a special technique where he slowly injects and then manipulates the area to help the area absorb the novacane. At least that is my impression of what it seemed like he was doing to me. I have had 2 root canals worked on by Dr. Grove on two separate occasions. He specializes in only doing root canals. He really knows how to seal the root canal all the way down to the tip of where the root used to be. This is of paramount importance to help prevent underlying infections in the long run that can really compromise your health systemically. And the bonus is that he uses Ozone to further ensure that the root canal is sterilized when it is sealed up so that there are no bad guys lingering around to cause havoc down the road. In 2011 I had 2 separate dentists who caused a lot of pain during office procedures and bad work that caused pain that went on for weeks. One of the dentists even caused me to loose a molar because the root was dying after she worked on it. This same dentist worked on my boyfriends teeth and one of his teeth she replaced a filling on is now extremely sensitive to hot and cold. Anyway, since then I am very scared of dental professionals… the only exception is Dr. Grove I have no fear of going to his office at all. If you need a root canal I recommend you go here for a pain free experience by an expert in his field who will seal up your root the right way!
