Last night I shattered a 10-year-old molar crown. No pain but it was definitely raggedy. (I should…read moremention I haven't been to a dentist in over 7 years...yup, my bad!) I emailed Tooth Ferry at around noontime and, by 12:30 p.m., the business manager (Scott) called me and asked me how quickly I could get in. I was there by 1:20 p.m. I believed (due to past experience) that they would remove the remainders of the old crown and make a mold for a new one, and maybe put in a temporary crown. Normally you have to wait a week while they send the mold to the manufacturer, and then you come back to have it installed. Well, little did I know that the Dr. Michelle Reynolds does on-site crown manufacturing! Within minutes I was in the back getting a panoramic x-ray by Jill, of the dental assistants, while Scott called my insurance company to see what they would pay. After the x-ray, I waited maybe 10 minutes for Dr. Reynolds to come back from lunch. She took a look at my x-rays and my broken crown. Since I was a "work-in," she told me she could complete the new crown within an hour if I didn't mind waiting while she took care of her already scheduled patients. Since I was going to be traveling in the next few days, I said I'd wait. Since I hadn't been to a dentist in years, I was definitely nervous. I asked if they offered nitrous and they do! Just knowing it was available helped my nervousness immensely, even when Dr. Reynolds said she would be doing a "nerve block" to anesthetize the area around my tooth. She was so good that I didn't feel any pain while she was injecting the numbing agent. The nerve block worked so well I didn't feel the need for nitrous. Long story short, I was at the office for maybe 1.5 hours as I was cared for in between already scheduled patients. Dr. Reynolds kept me informed of everything she was doing. The mold was taken and my new crown was ready! They matched the color of my surrounding teeth. Once it was installed, I could barely tell there was something new in my mouth. It felt natural! Because of Dr. Reynolds and her amazing staff, I now am prepared to start a program of dental care that I had put off for so many years. I can't thank them enough, and can highly recommend Dr. Reynolds and Tooth Ferry.

What an amazing experience for our two little kids. I cannot possibly recommend this office high…read moreenough! We are thrilled to be part of the Tooth Ferry Community!!!

I am 55 years old and due to challenging dental experiences as a child, have always been very…read moreanxious going to the dentist. As the day approaches, so do the knots in my stomach. And then, once I'm there, spend the entire time, battling nerves, trying to pretend I'm fine, am like everyone else, not sweating through my clothes. Trying to act like shots of any kind don't freak me out. Add to that, that my mouth doesn't always seem to respond to the freezing the way it should. So, more often than not, I am not 100% frozen which ends up being quite painful and embarrassing. I recently returned to Victoria and had walked by Dr Pite's office quite frequently while walking my dog. Once I passed when the staff was coming back from lunch. They were laughing and seems happy, like they enjoyed their work and each other. I went home and checked them out on that MD rating site. Really good reviews. A couple days later, I was walking past with my husband and I said, Let's go here. We went in and made an appointment for a cleaning and check up. We filled out questionnaires and although I was a little nervous, it was only a cleaning. I am very good with hygiene and was hoping there would be no need for drilling or shots etc. Two weeks later, around a week before our cleaning, I bit into a wintergreen lifesaver and broke off my tooth! Panic. We called the office, but they are closed on Friday. We left a message on his cell. Keep in mind we were soon to be new patients, had never met him personally. Well, he called back and came in to the office to see me that afternoon, and filed down the sharp bits so I would be comfortable. He was very kind. The next week he was able to prepare my tooth for a crown. And I was very, very impressed. Like crazy impressed. He knew that I'd had bad experiences, he explained everything he was going to do, he jiggled my cheek for the shot and so it barely hurt and put the medicine in slowly so again it wouldn't be as uncomfortable. He checked with cold to make sure it was frozen, because I could still feel he gave me another jiggly shot, this one I almost didn't feel. He didn't start until my tooth was totally, totally numb. He offered me music which was a great idea and I was able to focus on that instead of all the drilling and noise. And it didn't hurt at all. Another first. It was the best dental experience of my life. I am 55 and for the first time, I don't feel afraid to go to my dentist and I'm real glad because he is young and that means I'll probably be dead by the time he retires and so I won't ever have to be scared again. If there was a ten star thing I could click on I would do that. Was the most stress free dentist visit I have ever had.

I feel the need to update my review, because the procedure that I had done was not successful…read more Although I didnt feel major pain or discomfort, the gum graft didn't take and the surgery is to be done again. Dr Pite and the staff were caring and I can't say anything bad about the overall service, but in the end, the success of the procedure is what matters. So I just want to make future patients aware that for this specific type of surgery that is a gum graft, I would recommend to see a periodontist who has more experience with this type of procedure.

Most impressive of all was that the actual wisdom tooth extraction was surprisingly quick and painless. I just closed my eyes and it was over before I knew it! Hard to believe but it's true. Even the bill was relatively painless. They kept to the price quoted to me on the phone when I made the appointment- no hidden costs. In fact I think they worked to keep the price down (no extraneous X-Rays) since they knew I didn't have insurance. I really appreciated that. In sum, I was impressed. The anticipation was worse than the actual visit. I would definitely return.

Dr. Wezeman and staff efficiently conducts and thoroughly explains exam procedures and findings. In between office visits, Dr. Wezeman and staff have proved receptive to ad-hoc special requests when needed. Of particular note, is an advanced digital imaging system, used by the office, resulting in accurate dental assessments to base treatment plans on. The imaging system was used to reveal a distinct split molar missed by an in-town competitor lacking such equipment. I have complete confidence in Dr. Wezeman and his high functioning office.
