This was my first time at Roots Dental in Lincoln, NE, and honestly, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Dana did a great job explaining everything during my cleaning and provided excellent care. Dr. Amy came in and discussed my future care plan. The gals at the front desk were super friendly too. I'd definitely recommend them for general dentistry or family dentistry. Oh, and I even got a t-shirt for being a new patient!

On November 6, I underwent a dental procedure during which Dr. Amy fitted a crown on my tooth. Throughout the procedure, she and Annabelle ensured my comfort. Upon placing the crown, Dr. Amy observed the need for an additional filling, which she performed. Subsequently, I experienced severe pain. I contacted the office on a Monday and was scheduled for a follow-up appointment the following Tuesday to have the issue assessed. During this visit, Dr. Amy drilled a small portion of the lower tooth to improve my bite, a procedure lasting approximately ten minutes. The dental assistant who assisted me suggested that I might be grinding my teeth and recommended considering Botox treatments. I explained that I enjoy drinking hot coffee on my commute to work but could no longer do so due to heightened tooth sensitivity to temperature. The assistant advised me to consume my coffee warm. Following this, Dr. Amy prescribed steroids; however, they did not alleviate my pain. Since November 6, I have experienced ongoing discomfort. I also informed Renee in the office to cancel any future payments, as I did not wish to continue treatment I was not agreeing to pay for. Despite this, the cancellation was not processed, and a payment was still deducted from my account. Each time I contact Renee, I find her to be disrespectful. I have received no further assistance from their office. I subsequently visited another dentist, who spent an hour attempting to adjust my bite to relieve pain, but I continued to experience discomfort. I was referred to an endodontist; however, I am unable to afford the associated costs. Yesterday, Renee informed me that I was supposed to have undergone a root canal, although Dr. Amy never mentioned this; she only placed a crown over the tooth. I have attached photographs of the proposed procedures. A different dentist has since informed me that I do not require all of the dental work recommended.

Dr. Amy is incredible to work with. She went above and beyond during every step of the process. Dr. Amy used some sort of 3D print technology to help me envision what my final smile would look like before the actual procedure which was so reassuring. I highly recommend Roots Dental for cosmetic (and non-cosmetic) dental care

Thank you! We are so glad to hear :) We love 3D printed trial smiles!!

Wow, such a great experience. I am new to the state and do not know anyone that could give me a reference to their dentist so I took a chance with Roots dental. I am so glad I did. My entire experience from phone call to X-rays to scheduling future appointments was great. Dr. Amy was very thorough and clear speaking. She answered all my questions. The dental assistant who took X-rays was so gentle. Take my word, they're great!
