I've been terrified of dentists but I've got to give a shout out to everyone at Calgary Dental House. That includes Michelle who looks after administration, Maria the hygienist/dental assistant and Dr. Nikla Reddy and Dr. Clark Crawford. I found them in October 2015 and have been amazed with my experience. First of all, they have been totally respectful of my fears and in this short period of time have gained my trust. Some of it comes from them being honest about my treatment plan and I don't feel they are trying to 'up sell'. I've had my cleaning, 3 teeth pulled and one big filling and I seriously can't believe I'm even writing a good review for a dentist. But I have to! I've had a partial plate for more than 5 years from a previous dentist that has never fit properly. With the filling that Nikla did it was on a tooth that the clasp of my partial used. She did her best to fit the partial on that day but because my mouth was frozen she wanted me to come back when it wasn't frozen to have a look. Well it fit about the same as it previously did so I was good with it. But when I went back, her and Clark weren't satisfied with the fitting of the partial. They took their time to get it to fit better and this morning I sent them the following email: "I want to tell Nikla & Clark how much better my partial is!!!! I didn't realize how much better it fit until I went to 'play' with it and found there was nothing to play with. I also didn't realize how much I actually did play around with it in my mouth. I guess I would clench down and then grind side to side and I've caught myself trying to do it but there's nothing to play with. So yeah!!! Thanks for not being just ok with it like I've been, but rather you kept working to improve it."
I totally recommend them to anyone... even those like me who USED to have tears before the dentist even walked in.
Thanks gang!!!!! read more
