I recently went to Pittsburgh Oral Surgery located on Fort Couch Road, Pittsburgh, PA for a tooth…read moreextraction and consultation regarding possible tooth implant. As far as dental office visits go, my recent visit went really well. Although I have been to Pittsburgh Oral Surgery for prior dental work this was my first visit to their Fort Couch Road office. Normally I go to their Monroeville, PA office, rescheduled my appointment because of work related scheduling problems. Arrived approx. 7:00 AM for an 8:30 AM appointment and was warmly greeted and made to feel "right at home." The person working in the office asked me to update my existing on-file information. I asked if there was a place in the building to get a cup of coffee, she promptly offered to make me a cup; it was very good and appreciated. After returning the paper work a short wait ensued and then a dental assistant escorted me back to the place where the procedure would take place. The room was exceptionally clean with a great view out of a large window; all of the furniture and equipment seemed up-to-date and in a good state of repair. Next, I met Dr. Eric Smiga; he greeted me with a great smile and positive demeanor. He explained the upcoming procedure, reviewed my paperwork and x-ray, examined my tooth, discussed the potential implant, injected some painkiller, made sure I was comfortable and said he would return after a few minutes. In the interim, another person came in to explain costs and insurance terms & conditions; a very transparent and upfront process -- no surprises. Shortly thereafter Dr. Smiga returned for the "main event." He gave me an "insurance" injection of painkiller and proceeded to remove the tooth. Before I knew it, the procedure was complete and the dental assistant was explaining post extraction procedures that should be followed. Someone in the office called my prescription (an antibiotic) into my local pharmacy and I was good to go. Before leaving the office, arranged for a 1-week follow-up appointment with Dr. Smiga at their Monroeville office to make sure everything was healing the way it should. Someone, don't remember whom, suggested taking an over the counter pain pill as a proactive defense against pain when the procedure painkiller wore off. No problem had some Tylenol in the car. After arriving at my car, took a pain pill from my backpack and glanced at my watch before heading off to work -- it was 8:20 AM. I was out of there before my appointment was scheduled to start. Follow-up; took one Extra Strength Tylenol three times 6-hours apart after the extraction and have remained pain free, no issues. Had my follow-up visit this morning -- no problems, everything looks good. I don't think anyone looks forward to going to the dentist, but from beginning to end, Pittsburgh Oral Surgery made this a very positive experience.

Dr. Bianco did an excellent job making sure I was comfortable, and felt no pain, and Lynn was also excellent in assisting the doctor, and to me in making sure I knew what to do after the procedure. Everyone here was exceptionally nice. THANKS! P.S. UPDATE: Dr. Bianco called me at home in the evening to make sure everything was O.K. What a very nice, and caring Doctor.

NEVER GO HERE!!!! I had an appointment to have a tooth extracted. My dentist emailed my. x-ray in…read moreadvance of my visit. Upon arrival, the secretary asked if I brought my x-ray with me. It is 2026. Everything is done digitally. I don't think dentiists even have the ability to print x-rays anymore. The dental assistant took a new x-ray. I had scheduled my appointment with Dr. Dalton, but unbeknownst to me, I got his resident instead. His resident came in and asked me what tooth number he was supposed to extract. He asked if he was supposed to take out my implant. I could not believe that an oral surgeon would look at an x-ray then not be able to discern which tooth to extract then hope that the patient knows! Mind you, the tooth also had a slight wiggle so it should've been clear based on the physical examination as well. I told him that my dentist had emailed my x-rays. He told me that their office loses everything. He next instructed me to reschedule my extraction and go to my dentist office, pick up the x-rays and have my dentist sign it before the next appointment so he knows which tooth to extract. No sir. I wouldn't bring my neighbor's cat here for such a confusing, outdated, unprofessional and upsetting experience that wasted my time as I had taken off work and kept me in a state of pain and infection.
