Quick and painless!

Did not look forward to this procedure, as I've heard negative things in general regarding root canals. I was pleasantly surprised on how Dr. Shugars explained the procedure and asked if I needed additional explanation. There was surprisingly no pain and the procedure was quick. Staff was helpful and friendly. Don't wish to have another, but if I need another one I know who to call.

Very nice, gentle, and funny

I really enjoyed my root canal, as much as one can enjoy a root canal ;) But Dr. Shugars made it so easy to relax as he is so friendly and silly.

fast, courteous, efficient

As a mom I am always worried about how a dentist treats my child. We brought a son with a tooth injury for a root canal. At first we thought he needed 2, but ended up only needing one.
I'm very glad that the best interests of the patients are the primary concern at this office. I'm one glad mom.

Great experience!

I am so impressed with Dr. Shugars. I was so nervous about having a root canal, but he made sure it was quick and easy. Very very little pain. The whole procedure took about 15 minutes. He is awesome! The staff was excellent as well.

Apicoectomy

I was referred to Dr. Shugars for an apicoectomy in 2016. He was very nice and clearly wanted to help me. He made me feel comfortable and was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the proecdure failed (not his fault) and in 2017 I had to return to have it re-done. Thankfully, Dr. Shugars stands behind his work because i dont know what i would have done on my own!

Very helpful

My prior dentist inaccurately listed the wrong tooth as having work done or extracted. I had work done on the tooth at DDS Shugars. When it came to paying bill Delta Dental wasn't going to pay. The receptionist was very helpful in calling Delta Dental, former dentist, and current dentist to get the matter corrected.
