r. Bassin is a high energy and cheerful dentist that did a superb job on everything from my fillings through a root canal. She gave me an excellent price (35% less than was quoted me by another dentist) but did not skip at all on the quality of service or materials. All the prices were quoted upfront. She was very careful and was always checking to see if I was OK or if anything hurt. I thought going to the dentist was supposed to be a painful experience, especially in regards to a root canal.\r

This being my first root canal I did not even know to ask if I was getting the ceramic (cheaper but more fragile) or the metal top crown. When I asked what kind of crown she ordered when I came to get the permanent crown affixed she said the metal top. She said mater of factly “I would not put something in your mouth that I would not want in mine.” \r

During my visit I overheard her talking with some of her child patients and was impressed by how easily she was able to make them comfortable while still being direct and honest with them.\r

P.S. The dental hygienist that does the cleanings is a ton of fun. It is like sitting down with a cheerful quick grandmother who really knows what she is doing.\r
