First off, I'm not the type that hates going to the dentist. I actually like having my teeth cleaned and am fascinated with people who have the stomach to delve into other people's mouths, funky breath, rotten teeth and all with out gagging excessively.
It had been some time since I'd visited a dentist due to lack of good dental insurance. My last visit to a dentist was in 2011, and I visited a neighborhood clinic type place to have a root canal done. It wasnt done well, but it was what I could afford at the time. The office was clean and the docs/technicians were pleasant so I had no reason to really complain. Well I could complain that the root/crown has become a food trap, but you get what you pay for, right?
Fast forward 3 years to yesterday when I visited Citidental. I made my appointment 3 weeks prior to meet with Dr. Miller and was pleased when I arrived in the office. It was stark and sterile (but in a good way), which immediately put me at ease because of the cleanliness and modernity. The setup made me feel as though whoever put this establishment together wanted their customer to feel as though they were in efficient, reliable, and clean hands.
Filled out my new patient paperwork, handed it in, and in less than 10 minutes I was escorted off to the exam room. Hung my coat and bag up and Dr. Miller introduced herself, asked me why I was visiting her and what my concerns were, then the tech began the xray process. I was comfortable in the chair which moved so smoothly you can hardly feel when they recline it. There was some "Halo" from Beyonce coming through the surround sound, and I was chillin! Homegirl put the little x-ray/bite down thingy in my mouth and can I tell you I was blown away at seeing the actual x-ray of my teeth pop up on the screen in front of me within seconds of her taking the shot? I mean, I saw the flatscreen tv on the wall and thought nothing of it at first. The tech mustve thought I crawled out of a hole in the wall because I was so excited about seeing the x-ray on the screen, you wouldve thought I'd never seen a television before. I was used to having x-rays done in one room while the tech walks in and out to another room to press a button leaving you alone to take in all the radiation. You'd be lucky if you ever saw the film if the dentist chose to share the images with you. She took x-rays of all of my teeth, took about 7 to 10 minutes. Dr. Miller showed up and explained in detail what work needed to be done and answered any and all of my questions. She then said she was going to take pictures of my teeth to get more insight into what was going on in my mouth. I wasnt sure HOW she planned to do that, but when I saw that little tube with the light on the end go into my mouth and pictures of my teeth popped up on the screen, I was again blown away. (shutup, stop judging me). When she was done, she went into detail about what we were seeing on the flatscreen and explained what our next course of action would be to get my teeth in tip top shape.
Dr. Miller cleaned my teeth and advised me to schedule an appointment to have a deep cleaning done next month. She let me know that she does Saturday appointments - I couldnt love her more for that! Needless to say, I booked my appointment and also booked my husband and daughters to visit her as well. If you're looking for a great dental facility and a great DDS, I highly recommend Dr. Miller and Citidental. There are other docs in the facility, but I can only speak on Dr. MIller's behalf. She is a fricking rock star, and has a great disposition that will leave you at ease and confident that she knows what she is doing.
