Cannot recommend highly enough

As a young boy I got accidentally kicked in the face whilst playing football consequently one of my lower back teeth was broken. Over the years it had been repaired many times until recently when my dentist said they could do no more. They said it was not feasible to do a root canal as there was not enough remaining tooth to attach a crown. They recommended an implant which would cost around £1800. I decided to go for a second opinion. My son lives in Liverpool and he recommended his own dentist a Dr Ashok Reddy at ARCENDO. I made an appointment to see Ashok and upon meeting him he immediately put my mind at ease. After a thorough consultation and examination including X-rays, impressions and pictures of my teeth and gums Dr Reddy said whilst it wouldn't be straight forward as the tooth had 2 roots both of which were twisted he saw no reason why the tooth could not have root canal treatment and a crown fitted. The procedure took around 45 minutes and I didn't feel a thing. Ashok explained everything he was doing as he went along which only inspired confidence in him. I returned recently for the final crown fitting and it is great to be able to chew again properly. Cannot recommend highly enough.
