"LOVE this office. I have to travel out of MS to Endo Associates and will continue to do so with any work I may need in the future. Dr. Dean is a fabulous Endodontist and has some fine tuned skill.My first root canal for myself was extremely nerve wracking and scary - Dr. Dean eased my fears and as he promised he would stop if I felt anything. He had to inject 3 different kinds of numbing due to my tooth being very inflamed and “hot” and didn’t not proceed until I was WELL numbed.I had a 2nd root canal done by him just yesterday - again I was scared going into it, but again Dr. Dean made me feel relaxed and in good hands. Even on the “ok, this is going to be a big stick” I never even felt the needle sticks. Dr. Dean has amazing hands/skill as an Endodontist!!I also appreciate that he does not do the heavy involved work on a tooth unless it absolutely needs it!I am so thankful for Dr. Dean and his team! Thank yall so very much!"
"Always excellent care and service at this facility...Dr. Matt Dean is awesome and so is the support staff!"
"I was referred here by my dentist for a root canal. Obviously, this is a dreaded appointment for most people, but this practice made it very easy. I knew how much I was going to owe several days before my appointment so that I could be prepared. I saw Dr Matt Dean, and he was fantastic. He has a very calming and laid back demeanor that put me at ease. His assistant was incredibly nice and also made me feel very comfortable. I will definitely go back there again in the event that I need more dental work."
"Dr. Kim Dean and her staff were awesome during my first time visit. I drove from Montgomery. They made me feel welcomed and at ease. Alexis even apologized several times because I got an X-ray done and the mouthpiece hurt my mouth a little and even though it wasn’t her fault, she kept apologizing for the discomfort. She really cared about my wellbeing. I was there to get a consultation to see if I needed a root canal. They don’t try to just take your money because I ended up not needing a root canal and she was very honest about that. I recommend them 100%."
"I went in for a root canal, nervous to the point of tears. Dr. Matt Dean and the assistant made sure I was comfortable and knowledgeable about the procedure. The numbing needle was the worst part, but even it wasn’t that bad. They turned what I thought would be a terrifying, painful experience into the complete opposite. The staff at Trussville Endodontics will take great care of you 🤎🦷"
"My regular Dentist found that I needed a root canal about 7:30. I called Endodontic Associates- Trussville shortly after 8am and they were able to give me a 9am appointment. The Checkin was painless and I was taken back soon after I arrived. They took care to explain what was happening at every step along the way. Dr. Kim Dean took time to update me on everything she found in my x-ray and what to expect before, during and after the procedure. The procedure itself was practically painless and I’ve had zero soreness since. That has not been the typical experience with root canals I’ve had in the past. I highly recommend them for any endodontic procedures you may be facing."
