My husband and myself are in our late 70’s and I believe that between us, we have had every dental procedure also. We just moved out of state and I needed a dentist fast because of some discomfort. I got lucky and found someone we both like and trust. Not cheap by any means, but I am comfortable with him and the office. About the cost over the years…….I also believe we could have traveled around the world. Orthodontist, endodontist, periodontist, oral surgeon………seen them all. I have a procedure that I do every day and night, but I will check out Dr. Ellie.
