Clean and modern dental office with good dentists

by tomlap

At first I saw the review of the appointment running late for another person. But when I got to the office it was a typical medical office wait of about 30-45 minutes, nothing out of the ordinary nowadays. Most medical offices take the same amount of time and I have found that the earlier appointments are usually a shorter wait than ones towards the end of the day. It was convenient that there was FREE parking right at the office so from my house to the office was a quick trip (definitely worth the wait having free parking). I only had a cleaning done because they accept my union insurance. Then I had a general checkup by the doctor and found out that I needed a filling to be replaced. It was a good thing because it was coming loose and I could have possibly swallowed it. In addition, since it was an old amalgam filling from over 10 years ago, I found out it had a higher instance of mercury in the mixture (which is poisonous) and that I could have a newer, less poisonous filling made of a composite resin that would also match my tooth color. Since I was willing to wait, I had the filling done the same day. The procedure went very well and I didn't feel a thing. Overiall I am giving a five out of five stars for the experience and will definitely be coming back to this office for future cleanings.
