    3 days after my abscess was lanced and drained. Finally starting to get some relief.
    Stephanie Z.

    This makes me so sad to write this because I initially loved this dentist and his staff. But after the incredibly painful and time consuming experience I had here I felt that I should share my story so others are aware. The dentist and his secretaries are incredibly friendly. That is the main problem I have with only giving them one star. With that being said I had several fillings done here. Almost all of them were done without any issues. Except for one filling. I ended up having terrible jaw pain almost 2 months after one of them was filled and went back in to see the doctor. He informed me that everything looked normal. So I left feeling as though the pain must just be temporary. Within two weeks of that visit I ended up in urgent care due to the pain in my jaw and swelling of my face. I left urgent care and drove to my dentist hoping he would be more helpful in identifying the problem. He took X-rays and told me everything looked normal again and wrote me a referral to see an Endodontist. He also prescribed me antibiotics. Because I was unable to see an endocrinologist I went to another dentist for a second opinion. She looked at my X-rays and told me I needed a root canal as soon as possible. Dr. Hamilton had performed a filling on a tooth that was too close to the nerve without informing me that is could cause trauma to the tooth root. My tooth root became infected which lead to a very large abscess along my gums and my nerve dying . I had the root canal and the large abscess drained two days after visiting dr Hamilton for the last time. The dentist who did my root canal agreed that the issues were because of the trauma the tooth experienced during my routine fi visit. As you can believe I was highly upset when I found that out. I also really did not like the fact that Dr. Hamilton acted is if he could not see the infection on the X-rays. Both dentists I saw after him (within the same day) saw the infection in the X-ray. When I called to inform them of the news I found out his secretary continued to say that the took no responsibility for what happened. I understand that these things happen, but after seeing him twice for the pain and being sent away with no answers that's when I became upset. They made me feel as though I was searching for pain medication and everything was all in my head. We are supposed to be able to trust our doctors to care for us to the best of their ability. Sadly I will never go back here because I no longer trust Dr. Hamilton or his staff. Beware of places that seem too good to be true. And make sure to ask more questions and have everything throughly explained to you before committing to any dental work here.

    Dr. Hamilton always takes great care of me. Some dentists/offices are fast and do not care to explain things to the patient, the doctor and staff here are very kind and receptive to the patient. The office is also very nice and clean, and everyone is always in a good mood and caring. If you are on the fence about which dentist to go to, you will love it here!

    I've been going to Advance Dental Care for over 12 years, which is probably longer than I've stayed…read moreloyal to some restaurants, streaming services, and definitely a few gym memberships. What keeps me coming back isn't just the excellent dental care... it's the people. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted like family. Janet and Jaime somehow remember everything...your spouse, your kids, your job, your vacation plans, and probably what you had for lunch last Tuesday. They make every visit feel less like an appointment and more like catching up with old friends. Dr. Jorgenson is simply outstanding. He's incredibly knowledgeable, takes the time to explain everything, and never makes you feel rushed. No question is too small, and you always leave feeling informed and confident about your care. And Katie, my dental hygienist, is the best in the business. She's thoughtful, thorough, and somehow makes having sharp instruments in your mouth a pleasant experience. She's personable and easy to talk to, but also knows that not everyone wants a full conversation while someone's polishing their teeth. It's a rare talent. The office has seen me through regular cleanings, deep cleanings, Invisalign, and even a root canal. If there's a dental loyalty program, I think I've earned platinum status by now. No matter the procedure, I've always felt I was in great hands. What I appreciate most is that this office genuinely cares about people. Not just their patients, but the community as well. Their commitment to giving back says a lot about who they are and the culture they've built. I've recommended Advance Dental Care to friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and pretty much anyone who will stand still long enough to listen. Going to the dentist is usually something people put on their calendar with a sigh. Somehow, this team has turned it into something I actually look forward to. This place isn't just my dental office anymore...they're part of my extended family. Oh and they have a great sense of music!!

    My last visit with this dentist left me really upset and disappointed. During the procedure, he…read morechipped my front side tooth and admitted it happened. He then asked if I wanted to remove and replace that tooth too but I would have had to pay for it myself. At that point, I honestly just wanted to leave because I was afraid more damage could happen. I originally went in for work on one tooth that only had a stain. Somehow, I was convinced to replace that tooth, but the process ended up involving shaving down the two healthy teeth next to it in order to place the replacement tooth in the middle. If I had known from the beginning that this was the plan, I would have never agreed to it. Now the chipped tooth has a white mark/stain that people constantly mistake for food stuck between my teeth. On top of that, I was told the dental work would last around 10 years, but it did not even last 6. I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with this dentist. If so, please contact me.
