So I've gone here twice so far - first for x-rays and a cleaning, and the second time to have a large cavity filled. It's not a "conventional" office per se, and the first time I went I wasn't even sure that I had the right place. It's run out of a house, and I didn't see any signs. There were also a lot of vehicles that looked like they needed work in the parking lot. For a second I considered that it might be a mechanic. But it is definitely a dental office!
I have read numerous reviews that mention rude staff, but I have not experienced that at all. Both the dentist and the hygienist have been extremely talkative and friendly. There IS a cat, which I actually really like, though I have only seen it once chittering at birds from the window. The waiting room has comfy couches, a tv with streaming services on it, magazines, and some other random things to keep you busy.
I DO have to agree with reviews that say the office needs to be cleaned. The waiting room is nice, but back where you have dental work done the place needs some love. It would really be my only complaint so far.
I was surprised that he was going to use gas for my filling, though he did not have a problem with me declining it at all. He said they do it because most people hate the needles, and it sounds like it is their standard care for dental procedures. A plus for those that have anxiety, for sure.
The filling process itself was great. It was probably the easiest filling I have ever had, honestly! He used something called air abrasion instead of the traditional drill, and I got through it without gas, needle numbing, or any discomfort whatsoever, which I was very happy about.
I can't comment on whether or not they are good about emergency visits, because fortunately I have not needed one of those yet. And I have also read one review that mentioned dental work like fillings not lasting. I can not comment on that either because my filling is new, but I will definitely update if any issues arise! read more
