They work fast and efficiently

My daughter went in for her very first dental appointment and was welcomed with an amazing friendly staff! My daughter whom just turned 4, had to get a filling ... I think I was more nervous than she was. But the friendly assistants as well as dentist treated her like a princess. And she was in amd out woth a smile amd now said she loves the dentist! And asked when we are going back to get her teeth cleaned (They filling was small so she didn't need a the numbing shot. The laughing gas worked perfectly. I was vary pleased with this dentist!! Definitely keeping them as she grows! )

Ok so I only came to this dentist because my insurance had this location on record. I am planning on changing to another facility as soon as possible. The front desk receptionist was very kind and helpful. The young lady doing my dental X-rays was beyond professional and very polite. However, the actual doctor was so rude! She clearly HATES her job. I came in for them to check my wisdom teeth. She said my gums were inflamed and that I needed some special antibiotics that my insurance did NOT cover and cost around $260... but keep in mind she said they were not infected but INFLAMED. Ok so I asked her to prescribe another brand name antibiotic or antibiotic rinse that my insurance will cover and she refused. She never spoke about my wisdom teeth ... I had to ask two separate nurses to look at my chart and give me their advice and info on extractions etc. The doctor also tried selling me a special TMJ retainer which was $360 even after I told her I already had one made at another office. The doctor is there only to make an extra buck off you. She doesn't care about your main concerns whatsoever. They tried rushing me out but I quickly asked about having my teeth cleaned during this visit (usually you get your teeth cleaned at the first dental visit)... so they said ok and after 25 minutes of sitting alone in the chair, the doctor walked over and scraped my gums sooo bad (even after she saw how tender they were from my wisdom teeth pushing through) I was literally clenching my fists and toes. Then after doing only the bottom she got up and slammed the tools down and said I shouldn't be late to appointments if I want my teeth cleaned and walked off. No joke guys I was shocked. I was 4 minutes late to my appt... I understand where I went wrong but to treat someone like that????? The nurses were so kind and cleaned up my mouth and I was basically rushed out. I didn't get a print out of anything- not even a prescription for antibiotics. I got in my car and look in the mirror and the doctor had left things still stuck in my teeth. I was so embarrassed for being treated like that. I will never ever go back and I will urge friends and family to never go to this place. I also took photos of how unsanitary everything was as well. The sink next to me had a ring (mold maybe) around it. The small handheld camera used to take photos of my mouth had a plastic disposable cover on it that wasn't removed after using it on me and placed back against the porous drywall. I have already contacted my insurance to make sure they don't claim procedures that were not done. Especially after seeing how money hungry they were. Never again.

My 9 year old daughter's tooth cracked on a Saturday evening and she was in pain. I called and…read morescheduled an emergency next morning appointment. When we arrived, the gal at the front was very sweet and helpful. They took us back quickly and did an x ray. It was an adult tooth/molar we knew it was in bad shape but no dentists would touch it because pediatric dentist don't do adult teeth and regular dentists want to refer it back to pediatric. Her tooth suffered from all that back and forth with other places. Dr. Dong looked at the xray and explained extraction was needed due to the severity of decay and infection. I already knew that and agreed. They were so gentle and empathetic with my daughter. They made it comfortable where she wasn't scared and completed it quickly. Good places are hard to find and I greatly recommend this office. Pricing was very fair considering it is a Sunday and I'm ever so thankful she's no longer suffering with a tooth no one would touch. The office was clean and the aesthetic was pretty.

I'm surprised with good reviews. Only my very first initial appointment went great. Yes, the people…read moreare very friendly there but that's about it. Two of my filling's got dark spots on them within the first year and to redo them I have to come when "I'll be fixing my other teeth". Once I went into office with one treatment plan doctor (Asian looking younger one) during the treatment changed the plan and fixed the tooth that wasn't even in a chart and told me about it only after he was done! And made me sign the consent as I was leaving the office. I can't describe how violated I felt for a while. Doctor Papworth apologized for his colleague but it didn't make me feel better. I gave them a chance and came for cleaning, asked for insurance pre- approval for next treatment (because somehow my pretty good ppo insurance almost never covers it as promised). Waited. Never heard from them. Called. They made it sound like they've never heard about it although they offered. Requested it again. It's been at least a month still haven't heard from them... also last time I went for cleaning I felt like the doctor was very pushy into what should be my next treatment although I wanted to work on other problems. Also got referred to a place that did a terrible work on my root canal. I guess it's time for me to switch an office.
