Mario J Canal, DMD

Went to see Dr, canal for a Dental Implant, First time i went the office manager confused me with the cost… There was no clarity with itemized cost and she told me they bill different if you have Insurance… More Confusion, Thus I went to another Specialist for much less cost and everything was very Clear, It seems Money comes before the Patient… He is highly trained and a good Dentist but I wish he was more reasonable… so the average person can enjoy implants…

This is my second review for Dr. Canal and I am extremely impressed with his work and wonderful staff. I had an extraction done and I was so terrified because when I got my wisdom teeth removed from a different Dr in Delran I ended up getting a very nasty infection for a month. Dr. Canal numbed me up and we waited for 5 minutes for it to kick in. I put on my headphones to play a song and when I opened my mouth I honestly thought he was just poking the spot he numbed me at. 30 seconds into the song and Dr. Canal says «That is it! Molar is out and stitches are in, you are good to go.» I was shocked! I didn’t even get to finish my song. If I had known it would be that quick and painless I would of went to him a very long time ago for all my dental needs. I just wish he would do everything like regular cleanings, teeth whitening, veneers, dental filling, etc. because I would rather have my hard earned money go towards a Dr that is highly trained and cares very much for his patients. I really hope he gets picked for 2014 Dentist of the year because he deserves it!

A few months back, my dentist looked at my gums, told me there wasn’t enough gingiva attached to the bottom of several teeth, and referred me to Dr. Canal for gum transplant surgery, AKA a gingiva graft.
I went in for a consultation in December, and Dr. Canal explained the procedure to me. As such, for the next month, deep in my heart, I had been secretly terrified. I will not go into the gory details of the surgery here, but feel free to do a Google. I barely slept a wink last night.
This morning was as great of an experience as one could have when someone is sticking a gigantic needle in your mouth four times and then… you know, the actual procedure that I’m not detailing. I will say, though, that I didn’t feel a thing! Thanks, needles. It also only took about fifteen minutes per side to complete after the numbing portion — the doc is speedy.
Dr. Canal and his assistant were so friendly, and kept telling me I was doing great during the procedure when I felt the opposite. They also made jokes, which was a nice distraction. IE: «Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you have a big mouth!!» when I was having trouble following their dental orders during the second part.
I’m definitely in pain at the moment, and talking pretty funny since I have band aids on the roof of my mouth (yep, that exists!!), but I’m managing it with their detailed instructions. I’m glad I listened to my dentist and went to Dr. Canal!
And, for what it’s worth, I hope to never have to go back — EVER — but if a periodontist is needed in the future, I’ll be booking an appointment with him.
