Either people are expecting far too much from a dentist's office, or I've only had terrible dentists before now, because I really liked this place. While it does take a long time to perform the intake and exams, what do you expect from a dental school? The doctors are new and need to have their work checked; otherwise they won't learn how to do the procedures correctly. If you want your procedure done really fast, go to an established dentist that you know can work fast. Don't go to a dental school and expect to get done right away.
Dr. Sharma was fabulous, and I'm bummed that she's ending her time at the clinic and moving on, because I really liked her. Dentists get a bad rap because everyone hates going to the dentist, and I guess I'm weird because I liked her. I felt very confident with her work because she had it checked often.
The work took a long time, but it was very thorough and I'd rather have a careful new doctor take extra time to make sure it's done right to avoid complications in the future. I went in for an exam, X-rays, and a cleaning after six years of no visits due to lack of insurance (which I still don't have), and came out with fabulously clean teeth. The poor woman spent a LOT of time cleaning deposits from my teeth, and after my visit I abandoned all thoughts of whitening, because I don't need it after her cleaning. I had old composite fillings that needed to be replaced, so I scheduled another appointment to get those done two weeks later, and she did all three in under two hours, even with a complication with one of the old fillings.
The best thing was when I opened my mouth to floss that night (I do take very good care of my teeth, despite what may sound like neglect in the paragraph above), I couldn't tell which teeth had fillings. If she hadn't told me which teeth she had fixed, I would never have been able to tell. If you compare a filling from a previous dentist to the new one, the new one just looks like a tooth and not a filling. She chose a shade that matches my tooth perfectly and then carved it down to look like an actual tooth and not a filling. I'm thrilled with her work.
Yes, it hurt, and yes, it was expensive ($660 altogether), but dentist visits are a necessary evil, and it cost far less than going to a traditional dentist without insurance.
(Again, I know it sounds like I don't take care of my teeth; I really do, I swear! There's just no substitute for visiting the dentist.)
I would highly recommend the dental clinic for people who are on a budget or don't have insurance. Some things will hurt, but you can't really avoid that when undergoing any medical procedure. I'm sorry some people had bad experiences, but I loved my dentist.
