Everyone has probably heard about the root canal horror stories, but that’s far from the truth of what root canals are actually like. Patient comfort is always one of our highest priorities at Barker Dentistry & Implant Center. Since your oral health is so important, we want you to feel welcomed and relaxed during every visit to our Conroe, Texas office.
