Mark Roper, DDS MS

Dr. Roper was great. After a filled cavity failed to keep pain away, my dentist referred me to Dr. Roper. After an initial consultation, Dr. Roper found that my tooth was cracked. He suggested that I try a crown first to see if it could keep the pain away before doing a root canal. This suggestion instantly made me like Dr. Roper as he could’ve easily just done the root canal and taken my money but instead offered an alternative that would try and save my tooth. Long story short, my dentist put a temporary crown on but the pain still wouldn’t go away so back to Dr. Roper I go.
The procedure was great and Dr. Roper couldn’t have been more professional. After I informed him of my fear of needles, he made sure to inform me anytime a needle or something that looked like a needle but wasn’t was coming in. After I was numb, the procedure was totally relaxing and I almost fell asleep like 5 times during the roughly 1.5 hour long procedure. I didn’t feel any pain during.
My jaw was a little sore that night after the numbness wore off but it was manageable and I didn’t even need advil. The next day I wasn’t as sore but still couldn’t really chew on that tooth which he said would be normal for a couple days to a week. The following day I could FINALLY chew on that tooth with no pain for the first time in two months. I’d recommend Dr. Roper in a heart beat.

I was very lucky to find Dr. Roper. My very first root canal… First of all, the receptionist was very supportive and understanding. She could tell it was my first one. Dr. Roper was extremely professional, helpful and kind. He talked me through the entire process. He made me laugh quite a bit to lighten the mood. The procedure was painless, and not a single aspirin the next day. He takes VERY good care of his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Roper to anyone that needs a root canal.

Friends told me horror stories about getting a root canal. My experience was very positive – no pain or discomfort of any kind. The procedure went smoothly and according to plan. He was my «second opinion» and I am very fortunate to have met him.
