How Dr. Iqbal works
Every consultation follows the same three steps: look, explain, treat. You hear what is found, what the options are and what each costs, before anything is done.
The focus is on saving natural teeth where that can be done well, including teeth that have been treated before and teeth that others have advised to extract.
What does US board certification mean?
Dr. Haris Iqbal is a US board-certified dentist: a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics. Certification is voluntary and requires passing the board's examinations, so it is a way for you to check a specialist's standard independently rather than take a clinic's word for it.
An endodontist is a dentist with additional specialist training in root canals and the inside of the tooth. Board certification goes beyond completing that training: it is an assessment by the specialty's own board.
