She tells me that I'm putting them in a bind (whatever that means) and that she would "allow" me to reschedule this one time and that if it happened again they wouldn't be able to see me until Months from now. If the front desk is like this I can only imagine the rest of the experience. No thank you. I'll take my chances elsewhere. Would not recommend.

I saw the stellar reviews on Google and decided to schedule an appointment for a cleaning. Here is…read moremy personal experience with this service. I believe Dr. David Garate is a very capable dentist however I think there is a practice to overbook his services to the extent of causing extensive delays to his patients. I originally scheduled a routine cleaning but was advised to get a deep cleaning. I inquired about braces and was told I needed a frenectomy before the braces were put on. I followed through with the regular cleaning, the deep cleaning, and the frenectomy. This process took several weeks to complete. Several times I was made to wait to get my procedures started as a hurried Dr. Garate was busy finishing work on previous clients. In one particular instance, once my procedure started, he was so frazzled that he numbed the wrong side of my mouth with the numbing needle. As you can imagine, this is a very painful experience which involves stabbing you in the nerve of your gums with a long needle and injecting the numbing solution. He apologized profusely for doing this. He gave me some Starbucks gift cards in an attempt to make amends however the insult remains. This should have never happened and was completely unprofessional, avoidable and unacceptable. However the most traumatic experience came during the frenectomy. Dr. Garate applied the numbing gel to my gums and let it sit less than 60 seconds before jabbing me with the numbing needle. As it was previously explained to me by one of his assistants, they leave the gel on for far much longer in order to help ease the pain of jabbing you with the numbing needle. Dr. Garate wasted no such time and I felt EVERYTHING. Then came the procedure of the frenectomy, which uses a laser to cut through the muscle tissue in between the front of your two front teeth and behind it. It is literally burning your flesh. When giving post-op instructions for the pain once the numbness wore off, Dr. Garate told me to simply take Ibuprofen. Mind you, I just had the inside of my mouth burned for over 30 minutes. When I tell you this was some of the most excruciating pain I've ever felt in my 48 years on this planet once the numbness wore off...it brought me to tears over several days. I lost 5 pounds due to my inability to eat comfortably due to the pain. I had to call in to be seen way in advance of my scheduled follow up to get relief. Once seen, Dr. Garate halfway admonished me for taking over the counter pain relief remedies such as Orajel when he left me to my own devices as he could only think to suggest Ibuprofen in the aftermath of the frenectomy. Ibuprofen could not touch the pain that ensued from the burn wounds to my inner mouth after this procedure. He then filled stronger pain relief medications on my behalf to my local pharmacist and provided vitamin E pills from the office that he instructed to burst and rub on the area. My question is this, he obviously has done this procedure numerous times in the past. Why not anticipate the pain level and provide prescriptions at the conclusion of the procedure? If not that, why not instruct on the Vitamin E remedy in the least? Why send a burn victim home with dreams of Ibuprofen? Why put a valued patient through this painful ordeal unnecessarily? What amount of Starbucks gift cards could Perfect Smiles distribute to me to make up for what they put me through???

The low score is for the inconsistencies in who you get to care for you, and the poor quality of work. When I first went here I was advised thay I should replace two older metal fillings that I had done many years ago. I was reluctant because they were not bothering me and felt great, but decided to go through and get the newer fillings done. Schedule with the doc and come in on appointment day. Was told they would only do one filling that day and not two. Not sure why, but okay. Filling done and scheduled for second filling. Show up and told that another doctor will be doing the filling. Not over thrilled with having multiple doctors as they each have their own way of doing things. Second filling done and its poor quality work. Sharp edge left, and not properly grinded down for bite. Cant feel that though since my mouth is numb. Had to reschedule to have that fixed. Went back in months later for a cleaning and again have a different doctor who does my care. I prefer to have the same doctor all the time, but having a different doctor each visit left me disappointed. To make matters worse, I write this a couple years after getting the fillings. The filling from the second doctor cracked and pieces broke off while eating. Went to a different dentists office who fixed the cracked filling and made mention that the other filling which wad done here was done poorly and re-filled that knew. No problems with that procedure at all.
