Endodontics
Endodontic procedures include every treatment involving the inner tissues of the teeth, otherwise known as the pulp or nerve. The word “endodontic” is derived from two stems: “endo,” meaning inside, and “odont,” meaning tooth.

Perfect from the Inside Out
Our primary goal is to save your natural teeth whenever possible. Endodontics is the treatment of the pulp and surrounding tissues of a tooth. When root canal therapy is performed the pulp chamber of the tooth is removed and then filled with a suitable filling material. Root canals are most often necessary when decay has reached the nerve of the tooth or the tooth has become infected. People have anywhere from 1 to 4 canals in a tooth. Extra canals may branch out and are called “accessory canals.” The number of canals and anatomy of a tooth can vary.
Root canals are most often necessary when decay has reached the nerve of the tooth or the tooth has become infected. When root canal therapy is performed, infected or inflamed pulp is removed from the tooth chamber. The inside of the tooth is then cleaned and disinfected before being filled and sealed to limit the possibility of future infection. Soon after the root canal is performed, the tooth is restored with a dental crown or filling to protect the tooth and restore normal tooth function.

Reviews
From the minute I walk into your office, I am treated very kindly. Welcomed with a warn smile and a calming atmosphere. I have had anxiety all my life about going to the dentist, and didn't go for years. Godley Station Dental made the work I've had done very easy. There is never a wait, and everyone is comforting. Katie took good care of me today just like all the others have done. She went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable and cared for. Dr. Hatch is an amazing dentist. The work she has done on my teeth is perfect and amazing. She saved two of my teeth! I have been shown everything and it's been explained thoroughly. I can't remember the name of the person who does my cleanings, but she us also kind, thorough and amazing. Sorry I forgot her name but she deserves a mention. The estimates I have gotten in advance of my dental work is always accurate. No hidden fees. I am quite pleased with all the services they provide. Thank you Godley Station Dental, keep up the friendly and professional work!
Entering the building I was greeted with a sense of comfort and loved the amazing set up, it smelled delightful and Cindy signed me in, she was very sweet. Then I was introduced to Erin which was my dental hygienist. She was incredibly comforting and made me feel like I was talking to a lifelong friend, she told me about my teeth in a tone I understood and was very vocal about what would be happening next. Then I was introduced to the VERY handsome Dr. Patel who confirmed everything Erin so generously informed me of before. I have to have my wisdoms removed and both Dr. Patel and Erin reassured me that I would be okay, which was very comforting. When it was time to get set up for my appointment I got the pleasure of meeting the wonderful Wendy, we went over all the appointments I had in the future and we even took a picture to capture the first of many appointments. I got to meet another amazing staff member, Brittany, which she was full of energy and I loved meeting her too. The energy here was amazing and I loved speaking with everyone I met. I would recommend my toothless grandmother to this dentist just so she would have the pleasure of getting the service I experienced today.
Hygienist Yvette, Dr. Fetters, and Ms. Wendy took amazing care of me during my 6 month cleaning! My toddler was with me and we somehow managed to fit everything into the visit. The office is beautiful and clean. Reception is extremely sweet and accommodating. I used to work in a dental clinic and these people are definitely doing it right. I cannot recommend them enough!
Michelle was fantastic! She was sympathetic towards my discomfort during my procedure, and she anticipated my needs. She kept me informed as the appointments progressed, and I so appreciated her care. Thank you, Michelle!Dr. Hatch put me at ease with her friendly, understanding approach to dentistry! She made sure I was comfortable throughout my appointments, as well as if I felt great with the finished look from my dental treatment. Thank you, Dr. Hatch!Molly Thomas
Erin was wonderful with my daughter, she gave us so much information that made me feel very comfortable with the way forward for her care. Cindy at the front desk is so helpful! She gave my daughter a warm blanket to snuggle in while we waited! Wonderful service!
I had a fantastic experience today as a new patient! Yvette was absolutely phenomenal and was so welcoming! She made sure I understood every aspect of the first visit and even took the time to get to know me on a personal level. Dr. Duffy was amazing as well! She was very thorough and talked me through the plan for my concerns. I was very impressed at how well the office flowed and the overall feeling as a new patient!
I had an amazing experience at Godley Dental. My hygienist was Kassi and she was excellent! Dr. Fetters was personable and thorough. I would absolutely recommend this practice. Cheers to the entire office. 🥂Everyone was professional, friendly and thorough. What else can you ask for?
Dr. Patel and Michelle are awesome! I love them as much I love Dr. Allen and Leah! They make coming to the dentist easy. Dr. Patel goes above and beyond for his patients and he truly cares about you. I wish that every doctor had such compassion. I am so grateful to him. If you want to have an amazing dental experience and be treated right then go see the folks at Godley Station. I would highly recommend them! I would give them 10 stars if I could.
Dental offices make me anxious in general. I came in as a new patient at Godley Station Dental yesterday. I’m happy to say that I had a great first impression. From the clean and well decorated lobby to their knowledgeable and warm staff. Yvette was my hygienist. She took such good care of me, answered all my questions, ensured I was comfortable the entire time. I got a sense that they have a healthy work culture as they were very complimentary and respectful of each other’s skills and backgrounds. Thank you for the wonderful service y’all provide.
Best place in town! I even take my 9 year old here and they are amazing! Dr. Fetters, Dr. Patel, Katie and Wendy all are amazing. They made sure my child could ask as many questions to make him feel comfortable. As soon as you walk through the door, everyone is so nice and welcoming.
The team at Godley Station Dental is amazing! I met with Kristina, Dr. Patel and Wendy today and they made my visit very easy. I don’t love going to the dentist but they make me feel like family and at ease any time that I come in. They explain everything clearly and such a streamlined process. Highly recommend!
Today was my first visit and I couldn’t have had a better experience. The atomosphere is beautiful and welcoming, the staff are all very sweet and greet you with a smile as soon as you walk in. I had Courtney as my hygienist and by the end of my appointment I was ready to move my schedule around just so I can see her again next time! She made me forget I was even at the dentist with great conversation and laughs. She is very personable and I you can tell she enjoys what she does! Super pleased with my choice to come to Godley Station Dental.
Godley Station Dental is by far the best dental office I have been with. Their services are impeccable. Very thorough with their information. The staff is very friendly. My dental hygienist, Sarah, was awesome! Professional, personable, knowledgeable, and kind. I highly recommend this office!
For someone who despises dentists, struggles with follow up appointments, extreme dental anxiety, and overall uncomfortable going to a dentist I could not have been more pleased with my visit. I was treated with kindness and respect from beginning to end. Check in was easy and smooth with great customer service. I met with Wendy to do financial things first. She was awesome and went the extra mile trying to figure out my insurance. She then had me meet with Kristina the Hygienist who was fantastic with me. She provided step by step instructions on what is happening and will be taking place during this visit. She educated me on several items noticed in the X-rays before the Dr. came to the room to discuss a treatment plan. Kristina also made me feel welcome, comfortable, reduced my anxiety, and did not make me feel embarrassed about my current situation. Dr. Fetters came in to start his consultation process. Before even opening my mouth for him to look he explained what he was going to do, listened to all of my concerns, answered all my questions, and then put a treatment plan in place. While doing all of this he also did not make me feel embarrassed about my current situation. He also provided a wealth of education on what my future will be and how he is very confident that I will be feeling great about my teeth along with bringing my smile back. I will be recommending them to anyone who needs a dentist. THANK YOU!!! (Yes I am looking forward to the long process of getting back to normal)
I absolutely loved coming here! Atmosphere is so calming and clean. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Dr. Hatch and Amy went above and beyond to explain everything to me. I couldn’t have chose a better place.
This morning, I had my first visit with Godley Station Dental. From reception, to my exam and the checkout process, everyone was so kind, helpful and answered any questions and concerns I had. Courtney, my hygienist was so personable and made me feel right at home! She was very detailed and helped me address any dental concerns I had. A big thank you to Wendy as well, who helped with all of my silly insurance questions and setting up a treatment plan. I'm looking forward to my future visits at Godley Station Dental with Dr. Fetters and team. Would highly recommend!
I was pleasantly impressed with the beginning to the end. The customer service including from my first phone call with Michelle to Wendi for admission at the time of the appointment (which was on schedule). Then I saw the X-ray technician Sylvia or Sophia and then Dr. Fetters. Everyone was so professional and attentive. Dr. Fetters actually sat down and took the time to answer all of my questions and actually explained everything. I felt heard and listened to. I did not feel rushed on shuffled like a number. They were helpful to my needs and made me feel relaxed. I’m thankful I chose Godley Dental Station. They set the bar pretty high! Ursula received my payment and took care of my paperwork in a timely fashion. I will recommend this great place to family and friends. Five stars!
Whoever runs this place is a genius. They have all the latest tech, the people (especially my hygienist Yvette) are all fantastic and I no longer can say I hate the dentist. I had my cleaning and impromptu filling with no hassle and no discomfort. A friend told me they were more expensive than some chain place but worth it imo. I brought my 11 yo because it was more convenient than having different dentists and she also had a great experience. That's saying a lot as she's a very anxious child 😂
This was my first visit and It was better than the reviews. I would recommend them to anyone!! Such a great experience and Sarah who dealt with me was outstanding and so knowledgeable. She made the visit easy.I actually booked my wife and kids to see her!!Thank you
First thing: Alll of the staff, and I mean all of them, was extremely nice, and very informative! They make sure you understand what you’re looking at, and what they’re doing at all times. Absolutely zero complaints. Highly recommend!
Godley Station Dental is so lovely! It was my first visit there today and from the moment I walked in and was greeted by name by a smiling face and then called quickly by my hygienist, the whole experience was great! They are so thorough and clean and pleasant! The whole staff was amazing! They gave professional suggestions for my dental health and did an awesome job on my cleaning:) Definitely will stay going here indefinitely!!:)
I don't know anyone that enjoys going to the dentist. I had a dental emergency and Godley Station got me in the same day I called. Anna is a pro and did a thorough exam. She explained everything that was going on with my teeth before Dr Allen came in to verify her findings. I am someone that has had less than stellar dental care in the past and have avoided going back because of poor treatment from prior dental"professionals". With that said I will definitely recommend them and be back for the follow up treatment. Thanks Anna and Dr Allen.
KassiGrace and Dr.Allen were both very professional and warming! They made the experience smooth and comfortable! They were very thorough in explaining everything and making sure that you feel apart of the process. Also, Michelle that works in the office is awesome! She was so nice and helpful in my new patient process!
Ms Yvette was v thorough and I liked that! Everything she did, she explained the process making my experience relaxed and informed. She was gently and caring. Your next visit, ask for Yvette!
I am so glad I switched over to Godley Station Dental! I had the best experience with Erin, my hygienist! She was so thorough, gentle, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend this office and ask for Erin! She is the absolute best!
The customer service and attention to detail was amazing! Staff is polite, helpful and genuinely interested in making each visit your best. I would highly recommend.🤩
What an inviting office with such sweet and personable caregivers! My new patient appointment went so well I feel I’ve chosen the best local dentist office for my ongoing care. Yvette was such a pleasure as my hygienist. She was professional and reassuring along with being so pleasant. I appreciate the staff and Dr Hatch as my new dentist office.
Always wonderful even if I needed a crown to go with my princess attitude! It hurts, it costs but I'm worth it and they make it so better! Comfortable in a non comfort way.
We recently moved here from Houston so it’s been a challenge choosing a dentist since we are not from this area. I chose Godley Station Dental from a recommendation and I am glad I did. Sarah was amazing! She took the time to explain everything in such detail and truly cares about her patients. Highly recommend Godley Station Dental!
I had a great experience today at Godley Station Dental. My hygienist, Erin, took her time to thoroughly explain everything to me. I also work in the dental field and she never just assumed I knew everything. She was very gentle when taking X-rays and cleaning my teeth. With there being an innumerable amount of dental offices in pooler, I am glad I chose to go with this practice.
Godley Station Dental got me in immediately after breaking one of my crowns on a fireball (candy). I don’t know what I would do without them. Everyone is always so nice and they greet me by name from Cindy in the front office, to Gina and others in the back. Also, their technology is so advanced, it’s mind blowing! Thank you everyone! ♥️
I came in for a New Patient appointment and Yvette was my hygienist. She did such an amazing job with my cleaning and I left without my gums being sore. She has such a bubbly personality so it really made me feel right at home. Even Dr. Hatch was super nice. Highly recommend!!
The entire atmosphere of this practice is phenomenal. Adrianna and Dr. Duffy are the best duo. Very friendly and enthused attitudes anytime I come visit! Also no one likes having dental work done but these two do an outstanding job making sure the patient is comfortable.
