I had my first visit at 7 O'Clock Dental after avoiding the dentist for way too long because of…read morereal dental phobia, anxiety, and honestly, fear of being judged. From the very first phone call to the intake and exam, Dr. Tripp and his entire staff were patient, kind, and reassuring. They never made me feel embarrassed about how long it had been, which meant more than they probably realize. The office itself is beautiful and comfortable, which helped calm my nerves right away. Dr. Tripp took time to explain my treatment plan clearly, in plain English, without talking down to me. I left feeling informed, respected, and actually okay about coming back, which is huge for someone like me. If you're someone who's been putting off the dentist out of fear, this is the place to go. They truly care, and it shows.

Terrible experience - would not recommend for children or sensitive patients…read more I had an extremely disappointing and distressing experience at Hamada Orthodontics in Luling, Louisiana. I was never informed that the clinic is only open four days a month when I signed up for services. Even worse, out of six appointments, the orthodontist herself was only present at two. I've never been to a dental office where the doctor doesn't examine or even check in with the patient--that alone was alarming. The most upsetting moment came when my child was in visible pain during an appointment. Instead of offering compassion, Dr. Hamada threw her tools down at a neighboring patient's chair, pulled me aside, and asked if my child had special needs--simply because she was whimpering in pain. It was clear her concern was less about my child's comfort and more about keeping up appearances in her all you can treat open-layout office. Rather than adapting care to suit my child's needs, I was told that future visits would need to happen early in the morning--so my child wouldn't "disrupt" others--causing her to miss school instead of attending after hours like other patients. Another issue is that she placed the brace brackets so high on my daughter's teeth, my daughter couldn't properly brush because she could not fit the toothbrush in between the gum line and the brackets. Our new orthodontist had to remove the brackets and placed them where they should have been placed in the beginning, in turn, costing us much more money. At our final visit, Dr. Hamada didn't even come out of her office. When I later received a voicemail asking "what the problem was," it was dismissive and unprofessional. I responded in writing, but she acted completely unaware of why I would be upset--despite the very clear reasons. Dental trauma is real, and thanks to this clinic's poor communication, lack of supervision, and cold bedside manner, I now have to help my child recover from an experience that never should have happened. I cannot in good conscience recommend Hamada Orthodontics to any parent or patient, especially those with children who may need a little extra care and compassion. This office does not provide it.

The dentist was fine. The technician doing my x-rays seemed to be having fun playing with the machine. The dentist came in to look at my teeth and referred me out. So that was confusing.

I have to tell you, I HATE going to the dentist, no less one that specializes in root canals and…read moremore complicated things, but Regine Dyer has given me a new perspective. Sent to her as a referral for extreme sensitivity to everything for a tooth. Dr Dyer examined all the teeth in the area and ultimately found the tooth the dentist thought was the problem was not. X-rays showed a previously sloppy root canal, but nothing that had to be fixed. I left her office with a tube of very strong sensitivity toothpaste and told to use it every day and sleep in it. The goal: control the sensitivity to avoid a root canal. Two follow up visits and continued use of the toothpaste has helped. She advised I have a bite issue which has caused microscopic cracks in the enamel of my teeth causing the sensitivity, and if I really wanted the bite fixed, I could see a prosthodontist. Wow, who knew? My other option is veneers, but she did not push this. And to totally round out this review: On a couple of occasions a hygienist was doing something else for Dr Dyer, but she still proceeded to do the exam without assistance. She's time sensitive and I like it! The staff is very friendly and efficient. Rarely if ever have a waited past my appointment time. The reception area has plenty of comfortable seating and light. You do have to pay up front for the scheduled service, and added services are billed to your insurance or whatever your situation is.

Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming--from the front desk staff, who greet you with a smile, to the dentist, who was very reassuring, and his assistant, who took extra time and care to make sure I was comfortable throughout the visit. The procedure itself was painless with minimal discomfort, and the dentist was very attentive--he even gave me a break when he could see I was getting overwhelmed, which I really appreciated. They also prescribed anxiety medication for the day of my appointment, which helped me feel calm and relaxed.
