Disclaimer: A dentist can be ah-mazing, however, if the staff are not as amazing, it could prevent repeat customers...or at least this is my belief!
So here we go...while on a search for a new dental office, I read about Lux. I decided to give them a try...and here's how it went:
Location:
Located in a plaza setting with plenty of parking. They offer two doors (one entrance and one exit), so be sure to enter/exit as noted.
First Impression:
Upon entering, there is an adequate space full of seating, water, and a welcoming receptionist. Check-in went seamless (be sure to do your paperwork ahead of time to breeze through check-in). NOTE: I am not sure how much time is needed if you have paperwork to complete upon arrival.
The Visit:
I was called back minutes after arriving to a beautiful space of private patient 'suites'. Each room, with its own door, offered updated technology, televisions (two), comfortable seating, and a bowl with mouthwash amenities. I was instructed to rinse with mouthwash, and place my belongings down before going for scans. (A new office means new scans if the insurance timing align!) Scans were easy, space was clean, and dental staff pleasant!
Now that scans were done, my hygienist spoke about what the visit would look like including the cleaning techniques, expectations, and how we would end with the dentist coming in to review everything at the end. Before we started, she offered to turn to my favorite show (I did not have a preference, so we decided on a Netflix show). She asked if I wanted a blanket and I am sure I answered "YES" before she could get the full question out. The office temp is very comfortable...but offer me a clean blanket anywhere, and you've got a best friend for life!
After a thorough review of my mouth and my personal routine (retainer babe here), she got to it. It was soooooo good. I watched my show, and did not flinch one time. I loved it so much! After the cleaning, the dentist came in and reviewed the cleaning, went over every detail (really really appreciated), he made sure I did not leave with any questions.
Overall, I appreciated the cleanliness and supportive staff. I loved the cleaning and how much effort went into making sure I was comfortable and left with zero questions. My next appointments (plural) were made before exiting and I am excited to go back!
You may be wondering what went bad? At check-out, I noticed I did not have one of those take-home bags of toothpaste, dental floss, and toothbrush. During the cleaning we discussed my use of an electonic toothbrush, so maybe that is why?!? Either way, I asked for dental floss before leaving (you can never have too much), and my hygienist provided it promptly. If the baggie of goodies is the worst part, I'd say you have yourself a winner!
If you are in need of a change or just want to give Lux a try, please go and share your experience. I would love to hear how things went for you!
