Today I had my second appointment to take care of two broken fillings that needed crowns...
I was met by both my dentist, Dr. Prieto and his dental assistant, April whose a young, knowledgeable, and very talented assistant. For about two and a half hours they both diligently worked on my teeth, with a couple local (anesthesia shots to both areas) to start the process. The doctor made reference to the process, as "giving the jagged tooth a haircut," as he needed to drill around both teeth to make them more suitable for the 'crowning effect' to take place. Within an hour they both had an idea of how everything would take place, as he left me in great hands with April, who proceeded with additional numbing. fitting, and more x-rays of both upper and lower teeth for proper fitting, etc.
Within a couple of hours or so, she replaced both temporary crowns for my comfort and liking... I personally thought they both made a great team together for what was done today.
So my next visit (albeit my third visit,) where I'll have both temporary crowns fully replaced with the final one's and upon that third visit, I'll be paid in full, where Dr. Prieto was kind enough to give me a discount on my two crowns.
I am most impressed with the entire team as they've been great to work with and have demonstrated an unbelievable experience with both their service expertise and precise knowledge on today's state of the art technology, as April demonstrated while Dr. Prieto stepped away to assist other patients. What I really enjoyed most was that she communicated well with me each time she needed to get Dr. Prieto's approval for either x-ray photos and or her own drill shavings, etc. As I told Dr.Prieto. "she's well on her way."
With two appointments down, and one more to go, my fear of both the shots and overall process behind me now, I told Dr.Prieto "that he gave the best shots ever," as they were both seamless and "comforting."
Now that's everything you need to know when visiting the dentist with a name like Comfort Dental! Very well played doctor and staff...
