I went in for a routine cleaning; I wasn't expecting the best results since I hadn't been to a dentist since around 2006. I ended up having three small cavities (expected). He went on to also tell me that I should get a crown on a filling from my childhood because it would crack. Granted, he told me it could be next week or up to 10 years. However, he set up an appointment for January and said we could do everything (routine cleaning and cavities included) at that time. He didn't offer to fill my cavities then or set up an appointment within the next month (he knew my health insurance would be ending August 31). Although he did sit and talk with me about the appointment and answer all of my questions, we did it in the "waiting room"/"front desk"/"check out". My information (though none of it really something I completely needed to find confidential) was put out there for any one in the "waiting room" to hear. Also, you can see into every single "exam room" from the "waiting room". Pretty ridiculous.

After all of this, I decided that I wanted to get a second opinion about the crown ($500 even with my insurance - a $1000 procedure without insurance). When I went to get complete copies of my records from Bright Smile Dentistry a week or so later, I made sure to make note of their hours before going; they opened at 8am. I arrived at 8:30 but ended up having to wait in the car for 15 minutes. I also called them at 8:40 and was put on hold for 5 minutes before I saw someone in scrubs walk up to the door, unlock it and go in - I just hung up on the terrible hold music I listened to for 4.9 consecutive minutes. It took a reasonable amount of time to get my records, but neither of the assistants that came in while I was there were friendly.

Upon going to a new dentist (Dr. Jeffrey Austin on S. Berry), I provided the xrays, but he couldn't tell anything from the fuzzy xrays BSFD provided. He took a new xray and said he would never have even noticed that the old filling had any problems or believed that something would need to be done about it even remotely soon.

Final point: Bright Smiles (Decay Underneath) mentioned that I wouldn't need to worry about my wisdom teeth for about a year though once they come in I will want to have them all taken out because they are in my nerve canals... or something like that. I ended up having a lot of pain in my upper left wisdom tooth. The next week. I digress. Dr. Austin explained that wisdom teeth are extremely unpredictable. I should be fine, though I might have minor pain - oralgel would help with the discomfort until insurance could cover the procedure.

I've already told my friends and family about the fantastic experience I had there. They were easy to reach in an emergency. When I called they answered right away and I was so relieved to hear a friendly voice. They always take the time to listen to me. I know they really care about me and what I have to say. It's very reassuring to know that they are recommended by other dentists. It gives me confidence that I'm going to a professional.
