Limited To Endodontics

These guys were absolutely amazing. I had a really bad infection and was in an absurd amount of pain, and they were able to squeeze me in right away. Because of the infection, they had to do the root canal over two appointments, but they were absolutely fantastic. I felt no pain either time, and the doctor continued to ask throughout the procedure if he was hurting me at all.
Additionally, he explained everything he was doing, zooming in on the x-​ray and explaining why he was doing everything. He even offered me a mirror if I wanted to watch what he was doing.
Finally, I felt like they were the most honest people I had ever met. My general dentist had told me I needed multiple root canals and about 8 fillings. Honestly, I was in so much pain I was going to listen to whatever I was told. The people at LTE were completely honest and said I only needed 1 root canal and that a lot of the other work that was recommended was not really needed.
The office staff was as nice as the doctors, telling me before they started what my total cost was going to be. I paid on the first visit in full, and had no issues during the 2^nd when they finished the procedure. Overall, I enjoyed my visits there about as much as a person can enjoy a root canal. The doctor said «now I hope I don’t have to ever see you in here again!» but if I do need another root canal, I know where I’ll be going.

I was referred to LTE by by general dentist and feel compelled to write this review based upon my overwhelmingly positive experience in the Brookline location. Admittedly, I was apprehensive about the much maligned root canal procedure I was about to undergo but I was lucky enough to be taken care of by Dr. Velyvis. He explained the entire procedure before we started and routinely gave me updates throughout so I knew exactly what to expect. In all honestly, I felt no pain – and that, Dr. Velyvis assured me, was not the goal, but their standard. The most challenging part was trying to rinse after the ample Novocaine dose I asked for.
That’s saying nothing of the interaction with the staff themselves who I found to be both professional and compassionate.
The cost is standard for a practice whose members are so highly credentialed (that is to say, above average), but undoubtedly worth it in my opinion.
I would have no qualms about recommending LTE to friends and family alike.

I’ve been to the Brookline and Wellesley offices to have a root canal re-​done. I have had a great experience overall. My doctor was Joel Dunsky. He was very knowledgeable and friendly, and walked me through every step of the way. The operation was as painless as possible. They had free yearly follow-​ups afterwards to make sure the tooth was recovering as expected.
It’s been more than 3 years since I had the operation and I’ve had no pain. My dentist asked for an X-​Ray I had taken there to compare to the x-​ray she took recently. I called their office and they emailed me the image of the x-​ray they had right away with no hassle. Their staff has all been very helpful and friendly. I don’t think it can get better than that overall.
