We needed to have lip and tongue ties released in two family members. I knew we didn't want sedation, wanted the family to be in the room, would prefer the CO2 laser, and didn't want to pay for each tie separately. We had consulted with four other practitioners, and none of them met that criteria. Someone recommended Peoria Dental Care and I made the appointment. The whole experience at Peoria Dental Care was incredible. The office staff was friendly yet very professional, and organized. They made the appointments and, (unlike a different practitioner's office in Buffalo Grove), our appointments were still there when we showed up.
The paperwork was quick and before we knew it, we were being brought back to the examination room. There, Dr. Micah Roberts examined both family members, we discussed a few things and he started the procedures. Other than wishing he hadn't said he was going to, "poke holes," (which made one family member emotional and nervous), everything went *much* better than expected. Neither family member actually felt the needle. One did comment as the laser went further back on the tongue that it felt, "prickly and painful." The initial stretch after the procedure was the most painful.
So, in conclusion, Peoria Dental Care offered everything I was hoping for. The scheduling and front office was perfect and it seamlessly transitioned to the exam room. Dr Roberts allowed us all in the room, took the time to go over everything, used the CO2 laser, and answered tons of additional questions. Everything I was hoping for happened at Peoria Dental Care. As an unexpected, added bonus, Dr Roberts is the best looking out of the five practitioners we met with...by far.
It was worth the 300+ mile round trip drive.
He also does laser dentistry for fillings and we will be exploring that option more in the future. read more
