Not at all. Modern root canals remove infections causing toothaches. Without a root canal, you’ll continue to be in pain until the tooth is finally extracted. Our doctors are highly trained to use numbing agents and will adjust yours to make sure you’re comfortable. He can also administer laughing gas. A root canal procedure ends pain, and more importantly, it can save your tooth.
Yes, we offer traditional amalgam fillings and composite resin fillings so you can choose what’s best for your situation. Both can effectively treat decayed teeth, but sometimes, a patient will prefer a composite filling if they want it to blend in with surrounding teeth, or because they are more sensitive or allergic to metal in standard fillings.

If you have lost an adult tooth, it is important that you restore your smile with a long-lasting and naturally functioning replacement like a dental implant. The implant itself will replace your tooth root and create a strong foundation for a restoration like a dental crown or bridge. Once in place, this restoration should last as long as a decade, perhaps more depending on your situation, and your implant should last the rest of your life. Choose the stability of a dental implant when replacing a missing tooth.
Dr.Betts is first an amazing man that gives back to his community and less fortunate. He is gentle and has amazing character. His staff are super professional and kind. They answered all my questions and discussed my concerns. The office is welcoming and clean. I love this dentist.
Dr Charles Betts is the best dentist in Decatur. He is skillful, kind, knowledgeable and has a wonderful staff. His dental plan is very reasonable and is better than having dental insurance. I highly recommend his dental practice.
Very good visit. Staff is always very friendly and efficient. I moved to Madison but continue the drive to Decatur for Dr Betts.
We have used Dr Betts for many years. Great hygenists and staff. Overall a very professional practice.
Wonderful experience wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Have been using them since Dr. Betts joined Dr. Whitmire years ago. My youngest son had problem on a Saturday and Dr.Betts met us at the office. Called that night to check on him. I have never forgot that and it’s been at least 30 yrs ago. I recommend them all the time.

Amazingly professional staff, which made for a relaxing and inviting atmosphere. Staff are well trained, not only in respect to dentistry but interpersonally as well. Thank you ladies and gents for the exceptional care and attention I was provided. I’d recommend Dr. Betts’ office without hesitation. I wish I could give you all a 10 star rating, but because there isn’t an option to do so I hope you all will settle for a ten star review.
First time I’ve been to a dentist in years and as nervous I was the staff definitely made it easier. Kasey is the absolute best assistant and Dr. Betts himself was great as well. Definitely gonna be my go to dentist from now on..
