Due to the pandemic, we were long overdue for check ups and cleanings. This office is close to our home so this was our first choice. It took some time for my husband to get in touch with someone and after he did, we were then given instructions to complete paperwork online. Once we completed the paperwork, we then were given a call to set up our appointments. They were booked for a while so I think the soonest we could get in was a month. Whatever, what's one more month on top of 2 years?!?!
When we arrived for our initial appointment, we were greeted by Megan. Megan obtained our information and took our pictures. We were then led into exam rooms separately. My first impressions were all positive. The office overall is gorgeous, clean, and cozy at the same time. I thought it was interesting there is a coffee station in the waiting area because we are at the dentist lol. It also makes sense for anyone who is waiting to come out or you are getting a cleaning anyway.
Once I was all set up in the examination room, Megan proceeded to go through assessment questions with me and take X-rays. She was very gentle with placing those little plate things in my mouth to prep for each X-ray. I cannot tell you how many times dental assistants have jacked up my sensitive gums from that in the past! As I wait for Dr. B, I was entertained by the tvs on the wall and ceiling! They play Netflix and other streaming services! I thought that was awesome. Dr. B walks in and introduced himself. Very cool and professional. Dr. B engaged in conversation to get to know myself, my husband, and how we wound up in Ocala. Not only was Dr. B very personable, he is very knowledgeable and educated us on aspects of our treatment plans and reviewed our past work. Both my husband and I needed crowns and cavities. I informed everyone how annoyingly anxious I get and not one staff member made me feel bad.
I went in four different visits. Cleaning, crown fitting/temp crown, actual crown and a cavity in the same quadrant, and an additional cavity. I did not pass out. I did not freak out. Holly is another dental assistant who was super outstanding! We had such a good conversation while I was waiting for lidocaine to kick in (it took Dr. B 3x before it did anything and my body is stubborn). I cannot say enough good praises for B Dental. read more
