    I spent the better part of a day trying to get some information on dental work. She set up an…read moreappointment for me a week later. Katrina asked for my insurance information and took almost a week to get back to me. The day before my appointment she called and told me that it would be 472 dollars for a consultation. Not for the work, or a procedure, but for a consultation on whether they could do the work. What kind of business works like this? If I want to buy a car, do I have to pay 500 dollars to see if I like the car. If i go to a restaurant do I have to pay 500 to look at the menu. All of this just seems rediculous ot me. I told her to just cancel my appointment, she asked why? REALLY!

    This is going to be a long read, but I am tired of being dismissed, pushed aside, and unheard…read more On 11/21/21, I went to Montana Oral Surgery in Butte, MT, for what was supposed to be a routine wisdom tooth removal. I thought all was fine, although I remember briefly waking up during the procedure due to the amount of pain I was in after pulling my lower right wisdom tooth. (My ride home could quite literally hear me scream from the waiting room) After the procedure, I was told everything went well. It is noted in my medical records that there were no concerns(???) The days following I noticed that I no longer had feeling in my lower right portion of my jaw. This includes my tongue, gums, teeth, and a portion of my lower lip. I could not taste, feel pressure or any hold/cold sensation. Instead, there was a substantial amount of pain that radiated from my jaw to neck and head. I had let my oral surgeon know, and it was presumed that I had a dry socket and possible damage to my lingual nerve. I was told the feeling would return with time. Two weeks later, (still in substantial pain) I seen my primary, and was told I need to see a neurologist for my nerve pain as my lingual nerve in my jaw was most likely damaged. No one was ever contacted from that referral. I seen my primary dentist shortly after to see if he could help me in anyway. Unfortunately he could not help me either. Two months had passed and I was still in pain, and still had no feeling. I contacted my oral surgeon and asked for help seeking a neurologist or specialist who could help me. He had contacted a doctor in Bozeman who had done lingual repair in the past but he no longer performs this surgery, so he referred me to a nerve special in Seattle at Harborview Medical, as this was the closest option for me that we were aware of. Because of Covid and insurance/referall processes, I was finally able to see a specialist in Seattle on March 10th, 2022. I paid $1500 just to GET to this appointment with no compensation. I was there a total of 26 hours. Below I have my testing and scan results, showing damage to my lingual and IAN nerves. I was scheduled for nerve repair for May 2022, but unfortunately I was not able to afford travel costs as a single mother to go back and forth to Seattle multiple times. Time had passed, I opened a business, I had seen a couple different doctors asking about pain management as my window for repair had closed and the pain is now something I have to live with. April 2024, I had gone back to see my oral surgeon, because once again, I'm still in pain. It was discovered that I have left over root in my jaw. I was told it might be the cause of my pain, but it likely wouldn't change anything. I was scheduled to have surgery to get it removed, but after everything I had already been through, I was honestly terrified of going back to that office and having him work on me again. I decided to call the founder and main doctor of Montana Oral Sugery on 2/26/25. I spoke to the receptionist and explained my situation and that my pain had just gotten worse. I was told "you signed a waiver stating that these things can happen". I understand the legalities, but I didn't sign off on being in pain every single day of my life. I was asked "I'm sorry, but what would you like us to do for you"? I WANT YOU TO HELP ME. I'm so so tired of being in pain every single day. Watching and scheduling out what I eat so that I'll be able to chew my food. Biting my tongue everyday. Slurring my speech because I can't feel my tongue. Tylenol/ibuprofen every day multiple times a day. These are NOT things that I have signed off on. I've seen multiple doctors on my own accord, and Montana Oral Surgery offered me NO solution or sympathy. I have called the Great Falls and Helena offices crying. I'm tired of being told that there is nothing they can do for me. I am past the window to seek legal help. I felt the need to share my story to warn others of how poorly this practice has treated me. Others might have had a good experience, but the last 3 1/2 years of my life I have been in pain and have only gotten maybe 20% of my taste back. This has been a nightmare and they have offered very little to no resolution, no referrals and have pretty much swept me under the rug. This has taken a huge toll on my mental health. I don't even know where to go from here. This practice has completely derailed my quality of life. There has not been a day in almost 4 years that I am not in pain.

    Growing up, I hated the dentist. I was never numb before work began and always dreaded going. Dr…read moreMast changed all that for me! We have been patients of Dr Mast's for over 5 years. We lived in Helena and have moved out of state but still continue to have our dental care with his team of highly competent staff. They have cutting edge technology and rarely do we need lidocaine shots for fillings or other dental work thanks to the WaterLase. My 3 children are well cared for and can watch tv during treatment, which decreases any anxiety they may have. Dr Mast is proficient at all dental work he practices. He is easy to talk to about refrerrals or further treatment needed. People say there are dentists in the town we now live in, but we say, "Not like Dr Mast. He's THAT good." It's at least a 5 hour drive one-way for our dental care. Totally worth it.

    From the owner: We know that you have a choice in picking your dental professional. That is why at Mast Dentistry,…read morewe offer services and amenities not available elsewhere. We strive to make your experience comfortable and personalized.We offer digital x-rays, effectively reducing radiation by 80 percent. Digital x-rays allow for the doctor and patient to view x-rays immediately on a computer screen. We also use Waterlase® technology. Waterlase® uses water and laser energy to do what traditional hand pieces (the dreaded drill) do. This technology is fantastic for everyone. It means fewer shots or no shots at all. Wouldn't it be nice to leave the dental office without numbness or a droopy face? We emphasize a preventative philosophy. Dr. Mast takes time with each of his patients to listen and understand the concerns of the individual. We want your input when it comes to your personal health and appearance.
