However, I recently had a reason for needing some oral surgery, and my dentist referred me do Dr. Brar's office. And I am glad about that. First of all, Dr. Brar must be good at hiring people, or have somebody helping him do that. Everybody I've been in contact with are great to work with, and makes me feel relaxed. Or as relaxed as you van feel at a dental surgeon. On top of that, Dr. Brar himself is a great dentist. He is friendly, knowledgeable, efficien, and have a great "bedside manner". My toot extraction took about 15 minutes, and apart from the sounds you hear when a tooth is pulled out of your upper jaw, there was no pain, no discomfort. Nothing. If I ever need oral surgery again, this is where I'll go, and I would recommend Dr. Brar to anybody needing it.

He is truly a master in his field and I wouldn't trust my mouth to anyone else on the island.

Now for the rest of the story: The fact that the oral surgeon was able to get an IV in my arm that most people can't speaks volumes to his skill. I didn't have any pain after my extraction and didn't take any meds, though it was a relatively "simple" extraction as far as extractions go. The hardest part post‑op was limiting myself to soft foods for a week! I've only been to the office twice -- the consult and the actual procedure. The consult didn't leave me with the best first impression. My anxiety was through the roof and, other than the fantastic lady at the front desk, the visit didn't do much to calm it. I also later found out I could have filled out the paperwork online beforehand; I didn't bring my glasses and really struggled to read the forms in the office. For some people, including myself, the dental environment is inherently anxiety‑provoking. The power imbalance, the lack of control, the vulnerability... None of that is easily eased when you're lying on an uncomfortable dental chair in a cold, quiet room with only your thoughts (and an IV sedation handout) for company. I would have appreciated being clearly presented with all sedation options instead of IV being assumed. Anxiety aside, all went well. I also appreciated the fun bandaid and the thoughtful take‑home bag.

John didn't push any work and let me make the decisions about my teeth that worked for me. He was very vocal about what he was doing and what I was to expect during the whole process. He did a bunch of work in one visit and fixed the rest on my next. I am so grateful because my past experiences with dentists were terrible. I have overcrowding and he didn't push braces on me or anything. It was nice because I don't want braces, I know my teeth aren't straight and I like them. He's the first dentist to not even suggest them. I love the art on the wall and the Sinatra on the radio. It helped calmed my nerves. I will definitely be returning for cleanings. He fixed everything in my mouth in 2 visits! My other dentist would only do one thing at a time and the wait list was months.

My fantastic dentist of 25 years retired, so I needed another winner; and thankfully Charlie had space to take me on. I cannot exaggerate all of his fine qualities, starting with friendly, communicative and gentle; followed by the most important: Fine Quality Work. Charlie did a complete makeover of my old worn down teeth. He had to do a lot of creative problem solving. At every single turn I can say he took the extra time and went the extra mile to get it right. I have new appreciation for dental work in general, and what sets a dentist leagues above others. I ended up with a whole new smile, but it feels completely natural because the bite is perfect. Charlie has positive interactions with his staff, and he makes an effort to work with other dentists in the region. My oral surgeon ( Dr Bal) and my orthodontist ( Dr Halgren) were all in communication about the big project of my makeover. I appreciate professionals who consult with each other in the interest of the best outcome for the patient. Also I have to add, when I had a question on a Friday afternoon about my temporary crown I texted Charlie and he offered to come in Saturday morning to take a look. Now that's above and beyond. I hate dental work but Charlie was gentle, and now that its all over I have to say it was worth every minute in the chair, and every penny spent. Thank you Charlie and Staff!!

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a cheerful and genuinely welcoming staff. As I completed my health history forms, Jenn and Tina escorted me to the treatment area with such friendliness and reassurance--it was clear they love what they do. Dr. Stivers arrived and clearly explained the entire procedure, from extraction to bone graft placement, in straightforward and calming terms. After the assistant applied the topical anesthetic, I didn't feel a thing--from start to finish. Post-operative instructions were provided both verbally and in writing, along with an ice pack and a prescription for discomfort (which I never needed to fill). When the anesthetic wore off that evening, I was amazed--it felt as though nothing had even happened. I'm extremely pleased with the level of care I received at Silver Creek Oral Surgery. The environment was spotless, the team was professional and kind, and Dr. Stivers' skill and communication were exceptional. Five stars--without hesitation.

This is an experienced team of dental professionals. I hit it off with Dr. Stivers and his team. They were friendly, experienced and effective. Dr. Stivers explained exactly what was going on with the affected tooth and offered treatment options, there was no pressure to decide. I paid in advance using a credit card, all charges were fully explained to me, both verbally and in writing. They worked quickly and effectively to remove the pain inducing back tooth. The after care treatment was excellent, with verbal and written instructions readily provided, and my questions were answered. My necessary prescriptions were emailed to my regular pharmacy and were ready for me to pick up. I was given a 'care bag', too.

What I most appreciate is that Dr. Berner made several temporary fixtures to help me through the period of time that my mouth was healing and the new teeth were being made. In my case, my most recent implant fixture was made to replace my two front teeth. It was very traumatic for me to look in the mirror. Dr. Berner immediately made a temporary fixture and I was able to look in the mirror without being emotionally devastated. It's a dignity thing. And Dr. Berner gets it!

They told me things my other dentists have never informed me of and used a laser to test my wisdom teeth for more accurate readings than an x-ray. The cleaning was so gentle and thorough! They use technique, not force. Consultation was awesome and no extra, unnecessary things were done. I was in charge of which option I liked best. Dr. Berner has been in for 28 years and really knows his stuff! Although he's not a provider in my network and I have to pay a little out of pocket, it was well worth it! The reviews on him are true. I have 3 more appointments with him and I feel calm about going.

I do NOT recommend using Dr. Janette Carroll as a dentist:…read more The front desk is chaotic and unorganized. They do not return calls. They are never there to greet one when one arrives. The first time I was there, Dr. Carroll told me she was grumpy and stressed out. The receptionist told me she was stressed out as well. I find it unprofessional for a doctor or employee to tell a patient she is grumpy. In every appointment I felt rushed and didn't get my questions answered. I asked for a treatment plan because there are alot of problems in my mouth. Dr. Carroll didn't have time to go over what needed to be done, and said she would call me. She never did. I had 3 teeth with cavities filled. One had to be extracted soon thereafter (by a new dentist). The new dentist told me I had a big cavity in one of the teeth Dr. Carroll said she had filled. Dr. Carroll also blatantly lied about me in her chart notes, stating that I had said something I never said.
