This has been the month of dentists for me, as a small throbbing pain took me to my general dentist, then to an endodontist for a root canal (not as bad as I thought), and finally to Main Street Smiles for an extraction and implant.
Don't need to bore/gore you with the details, but I will say that all of my recent dental experiences have been way friendlier and less traumatic than what I can remember from my younger days visiting the dentist. I mean, did your dentist have flat screen tvs for you to watch while you got your tooth pulled?
Main Street Smiles has it all. From a super friendly reception area to a charming office converted from a downtown home in main street Barrington, honestly, it feels less like going to the dentist and more like visiting a family member. For my procedures, I had Dr. Pattani, and he immediately put me at ease by confirming the procedures involved, showing me detailed images, and sharing how routine an extraction/implant procedure actually is.
My endodontist mentioned that my case might be a bit more complicated, but Dr. Pattani did his due diligence, exploring, researching, and ultimately coming to his own conclusion as to what treatment/next steps were needed. Following the first major procedure, he personally checked on me several times to make sure my recovery was going well. In my case, I had very little pain and I'm eager to see the results of the implant take hold in future visits.
It's all smiles for me here. And yes, those flat screen TVs are for real. If only I could schedule my cleanings on football days! read more
