I've had some great experiences at Village Family Dental.

Contemporary and clean atmosphere. So far they've been great at working with your schedule to get an appointment as soon as possible. Dr. Rehl is pretty good with answering questions and staying positive. My only complaint I'd say is sometimes when I say that I have some pain in an area, I'll get responses like "well you don't have any cavities there" and move on without addressing it further. It's still my go-to location and have recommended Village to my coworkers. Am I excited to go and have a root canal? No, not really. I do trust them though!

My childhood was wrought with health issues related to radiation. As such, my health choice is not…read moreto do x-rays unless it is an emergency. Village Family Dental Associates' website said it "provides optimal care and takes x-rays every 3 -5 years." The operative word is "provide"; it does not say x-rays are mandatory. I surmise it is not mandatory as a friend who also frequents this office chose not to do x-rays and his dentist complied. A friend who goes to a different practice chooses not to do routine x-rays and her dentist said "up to you." I have on a couple of occasions relented to routine x-rays when heavily pressured (3 years ago) but I have also demurred on the grounds of principle and health. After 15 years of having my teeth cleaned at the Black Earth office as well as undergoing a major tooth transplant to replace a broken tooth (that required x-rays to which I assented) and paying over $10,000 during said period, Dr. Hanna said I was no longer welcomed because I did not want to have x-rays, as my last ones were 3 years ago. "You're dismissed," she said. I suppose I will look for a dentist who says "Up to you" instead of "You're dismissed."
