What a positive experience....for several reasons…read more Being a traveler, and not having a local dentist, it was great to have connected with and be seen by Dr. Sherriff. As it turned out, I required dental attention during the Christmas-New Year's holiday, when most dentists are on vacation (most don't return to work until mid-January). I was referred to Dr. Sherriff by another dentist who was already on vacation, yet knew Dr. Sherriff also operated an after-hours practice. I called up the office, and left my name and number on their voice messaging system. Within an hour, Rebecca, the Principal Nurse and Administration Manager returned my call and made an appointment for me for that afternoon. Dr. Sherriff was very patient and allowed me to explain the nature of my concern. He conducted an examination and took an x-ray of the affected area. There was never any pressure to speed through the examination and he was most professional throughout. In my earlier telephone conversation, I alerted Rebecca of the prescribed oral rinse that I used. To her credit, by the time I visted the Dentist, she had already researched the brand and its active ingredients for disclosure to the dentist. All in all, I would heartedly return for additional dental services, and would recommend this office to anyone.

I had a bridge made and fitted in Alpers Dental in 2013. It was not made clear to me by the staff…read moreback then that the bridge was put in on a soft glue, so I assumed it was permanent. It cost me a lot of money. I am a retired carpenter and have no family. I spent all my mother's inheritance on that treatment. Two and a half years later the bridge fell out. I went back to Alpers and they took my bridge telling me they would clean off the old glue and put it back in with a permanent glue. The bridge looked fine to me and wasn't damaged. Four days later they told me my bridge was useless and refused to give it back to me, saying they are holding onto it. After I insisted, they handed me back what they called my old bridge which was all broken. Alpers then referred me onto a partner dentist for a new very expensive treatment. I will strongly suggest do not visit Alpers Dental. They just do if for their business. Not for your care.

When your kid needs an orthodontist, the district Dental Nurse gives you a list from which to…read morechoose one. It's pretty much a random selection, although I did pull up the websites of a couple (which again, don't much help with differentiating one from another). I chose Janice in the end because her website was comprehensive but mainly because of her location which works for us. I'm glad I did because it turns out she's really good. When I had orthodontic treatment as a kid in the 80s it involved extractions (in my case 8, yes 8 permanent teeth!) followed by braces, followed by a retainer. Years passed and thousands of (my parents') dollars were spent. Our experience with Janice started with photographs and x-rays followed by a thorough consultation with all the corresponding paperwork explaining the treatment plan and costs. Fees paid upfront get a discount and there are absolutely no hidden costs. We are now unlucky enough to have all three of our children under Janice's care but due to the technical advances and undoubtedly Janice's superior skills, it is looking like only one of our three will actually need braces. That's not to say we haven't had to spend money on expanders and retainers but with these alternative interventions we've hopefully saved not only heaps of dosh, but also the dreaded metal-mouth for two thirds of the short people in the house. I really can't recommend Janice highly enough; she is surrounded by a fabulous friendly and efficient team, her offices are lovely and her whole business is very kid-friendly which is important. Nothing is ever too much trouble and all appointments, including unplanned ones for unforeseen hiccups (my daughter's appliance proved particularly challenging in the early days) are all covered up front. If you need an orthodontist, go here.

It is actually relaxing.... My older daughter had really bad teeth. Twisted, teeth behind others, coming in sideways... bad bad bad.... Janice talked us through the treatment process. We asked lots of questions and Hanice took the time to not only answer my questions but my daughters too. First a plate for one year to create space for the adult teeth. 6 month break. Braces on top teeth for 1 year. Today she got her braces off.....amazing!!!!!!!!! Next week she will get a retainer then later braces on the bottom teeth. My younger daughter has bad anxiety and today had to go in to have spaces put in for a thumb stopper being fitted next week.... Mary (the lovely Scottish lady) said to my daughter who was freaking out "I have got the nicest nurse for you today - everybody loves her - here is Nina" my daughter went off holding her hand and a few minutes later returning all smiles and looking forward to her next appointment. They have a great payment plan too. I pay $200 per month and everything just gets paid off - I can't afford up front full payments and this was never a issue. I can not recommend Janice and her team more!
