Upon retirement I starting checking for local dentist. Nearly every place I called was not accepting patients. Thankfully Vineyard was willing to accommodate me based on my availability. Prior to arrival I had filled out all the required paperwork. I checked in at the reception desk upon arrival and took a seat until I was called. X-rays were the first business of the day, new dentist wanted to get a view of my mouth. Simple procedure. This was followed but a CT scan of my head to provide a 3D image, thought this was neat, but didn't get to see the finished image. It was in to wait for the dentist, Dr. Cheema. He introduced himself, as did each of the staff. Thought they were all nice people and provided me plenty of information regarding procedures and paperwork. There dentist looked around my mouth and prodded with his tools. Looked at the x-rays and gave me his assessment. Since my insurance covered it, I did sign up for the Invisalign, but prior to that I will be back for a few deep cleanings, which had to be explained to me and to pull one impacted molar, which I knew I had but never wanted to get it removes. All in all, a great visit, very relaxed. Thanks to the staff and the dentist. I look forward to returning.

I chose Oaks Dental Group initially because they provide service for my weird insurance coverage that hardly any dentist near by would even look at. I called for an appointment and I must say that Melissa has to be the friendliest person to make my appointment and assured me that they were an in-network provider for my insurance. She made the appointment sooner than I was ready, but the pain was getting worse, so, okie dokie. Still apprehensive, I come in and was greeted with kindness, understanding of my pain and of my apprehensiveness, or should I say, "Scared to Death" of the dentist chair. I was expecting at least a 30 minute wait when I was called in 5 minutes. Ugh... My legs were like Jello. Without help, I managed to walk to the dreaded CHAIR. I was attended by Amder, an RDA. She is a phenomenal dental assistant. She put me right at ease and is very intelligent. After calming me down, I was greeted by Dr. Robles. Very friendly and helpful. He went to work on my pain and was able to fix that right away. WOW! I'm feeling great now so he exams me and tells me I have a bit of work to be done. I kinda knew that since I was trying to avoid going to the dentist for a while now. He explain every problem he found and we decided to go with a plan that would minimize the out of pocket charges. I was happy about that, and sure enough, Melissa figured out and printed me a plan that was easy to understand that minimized the out of pocket charges. Melissa is an expert on figuring out that insurance stuff, SO well organized and friendly. Overall, if your frighten of going to the dentist, I highly recommend the Oaks Dental Group. I finally found a dental group that I'm NOT apprehensive about but look forward to seeing them for my dental health. GREAT PEOPLE! THANK YOU OAKS DENTAL GROUP! I love you all!

Made my first appointment to take scans and was promptly ushered into a room and given a contract with several highlighted statements requiring my initials. One of the statements was providing blanket consent to 'slenderize' teeth (aka file them down to nubbins.) I said that I did not want that as a part of my treatment plan and was told it was 'required.' I would say that 100% of people that have never had invisalign are unaware that 'slenderizing' is filing your teeth down; a permanent process that can and has gone wrong for some- resulting in teeth that can be uneven, as well as irreparably damaging the tooth's essential protective enamel. Additionally, many patients come to the dentist/orthodontist with either or both anxiety disorders or previous dental trauma and to not only fail to educate patients on the process, but to also provide no problem-solving alternate approaches, and to not offer any anxiety medication management for a supposed 'required' procedure, indicates a doctor that is insensitive to the care of his patients and also implies a 'one-size-fits-all' approach to his methodology.

After many, many appointments, adjustments, relocating of brackets and, replacing of wires, I finally found my smile.

I did have to do a new patient paper work thingy (not bad at all). I did not have my insurance card and they still did the whole check up, very cool. All three ladies up front were super nice. Waiting room is a good size. Did not have to worry about being crowded as there was only one guy in there. Btw I really like the location, tucked away off of 41. Miss Potter helped me to the room and did my first test thing where she used a wand to take pictures of all my teeth and ended up with a cool mold of my teeth on the screen. She was very nice and personable. Then the dr came in and even more laughes began. He was funny, witty, intelligent, and thorough. Dr freeman even used a ruler to measure teeth, overbite, etc. Found out I have a little tongue tied issue! Never knew that before, might get that snipped in the future. And so many more thorough tests to figure everything out. Come to this office. You will not be dissapointed.
