I have always hated going to the dentist, out of fear. I have a terrible gag reflex, and every…read moreexperience I had previously, was not good. I called Creating Smiles Dentistry after being told by another dentist office that I had to have EIGHT TEETH pulled. You heard me, EIGHT. Including my wisdom teeth, TWELVE. I wanted a second opinion. They agreed that that sounded extreme and got me in very quickly. I was very apprehensive, and explained to them over the phone how worried I was about my gag reflex and if I'd even be able to follow through with the work that needed to be done. They re-assured me that they would do everything they could to work with me, and let me tell you, they sure did. I arrived for my first appointment, nervous and shaking. As soon as you walk in, they offer you bottled water, and ask if you need anything. Wow, how sweet! I then was called back into a pristine clean room where I met Dr. Phane and her team. From there, it's all history. They have many ways to help you, if you are like me and have a horrible gag reflex. They are patient, caring, kind, attentive, and genuine. This is a very family-oriented dental team, who cares about all of their patients more than I've ever seen before. Or even heard of. They would give me salt to help with the gag reflex, and do my X-Rays and impressions so fast that I didn't even realize they were done! It was so easy!
Hi everyone, my name is Morgan and I have Glioblastoma Multiforme Stage IV Terminal Brain Cancer. All I wanted was a beautiful smile before I passed away. And Creating Smiles Dentistry made this happen and exceeded my expectations. My eyes are full of tears as I write this long awaited review. As you read this review, please keep in mind, that I did get veneers, but the dental care here that I received prior to, and after, is out of this world. If you're looking for a caring community dentist, this is the place for you. If you're looking to get your teeth cleaned, this is the place for you. Whatever you are looking for, I have no doubt that Creating Smiles Dentistry will be your last stop for looking, and you will find whatever you need, want, or could imagine, done here.
I explained my concerns, wishes, and needs to Dr. Phane, who quickly created an entire plan for my ENTIRE mouth. Starting out, filling cavities, root canals if needed, all that "fun" stuff. Then, we got to the exciting part. She constructed a 3D Model, including gum re-construction, of what she had planned. When I saw it, I cried. I never thought I would have straight, beautiful teeth, and seeing her holding this beautiful 3D Model of what her plan was for me, was absolutely mind-blowing.
I had what some would call a "snaggle tooth" that stuck way out, and I wanted it gone. She explained the importance of having that canine tooth, and why she did not want to pull it. Instead, she wanted to reconstruct it! And that's exactly what she did. I was very eager to get started with veneers, but she also explained the importance of having all of my teeth that needed to be filled, or crowned, or what not done first, otherwise, veneers would just be a mask, but not a solution to my dental problems at that time.
Fast forward 3 months. Here I am, 3 months later, with tears streaming as I write this out of love, gratitude, shock, and utter amazement with a beautiful, pearly white straight-toothed smile. Dr. Phane along with Nam (The Porcelain Veneer Lab Genie), made the impossible, POSSIBLE. They gave me confidence that I never had. I would never smile in photos, or I'd cover up my mouth. I'd even cover it if I laughed. And now, I want the world to see my teeth! I want the world to see me smile, to see me laugh, and I can do that without feeling insecure.
These people, EVERYONE, at Creating Smiles Dentistry care. You aren't "just another patient" to them. They take the time you need, make accommodations for you, reschedule you if you cannot come in, and work with you in full. They make sure that you're comfort level, and what you are looking for, is taken care of with ease and patience. They really do care. More than any dentist office I have ever walked into.
This place, and these people deserve a rating that is off the charts. 5 stars does not do them justice. If you want a beautiful smile, to feel confident again, and to feel listened to, and heard with outstanding results, then you have found the perfect dentist, right here at Creating Smiles Dentistry. Thank you beyond words to all of the wonderful staff, but mostly to Dr. Phane who made my dying wish, possible.
