My relationship with this Dental Practice began several years ago. At the time I was very hesitant to visit any Dentist due to the pain and stern lectures that went with my previous experiences. The day came where a tooth hurt so much that I needed to go to a Dentist right away. Unsatisfied with my previous Dentist, I turned to the Web. Not many Dental Practises are open on the weekend for emergency procedures. This one was. I perused their website a bit, then gave them a call. I had very little to lose at this point. To make a long story short, I was able to get in right away, have a quick exam and some procedures.
Needless to say, the Staff were able to convey bad news well, but completed the procedures in a relatively short period of time with relatively minimal pain. For me, once the freezing is over with the rest is fairly easy. A good Dentist has to be good with 'the needle,' Dr. Pham was. As I recall, during my procedures they even put on relaxing music for all of us to listen to. They made the best of an unpleasant situation. The recovery, not bad. There was some pain the next day where they filled the teeth in question, but I was able to manage.
After the barrage of procedures, I have not had a single filling or root canal, or anything. I attribute this to my recent interest in my own oral health. Prevention is the best medicine. I make it a priority to brush and floss daily. I have seen two hygienists since switching there, Ray and Tatiana. Ray was relaxed and highly proficient. Tatiana is his female equivalent. Having braces as a teen, I had a lot of glue residue that was a breeding ground for bacteria and dental caries. As soon as they got rid of that, things have really improved.
I don't know if it really matters, but they even have HD TV's mounted to the ceiling to pass the time. The last time I walked out of the office I mentioned "you don't need Yoga, just get your teeth cleaned." It's true. In my experience, cleanings don't get much more comfortable.
You would never think of finding a practice like this in this type of location, but I consider myself very lucky to meet such a dedicated team of individuals who obviously enjoy what they do.
