| - Dr Tran and the Staff at Simply Dentistry are fantastic. I came here for a second opinion consultation, and they have now earned my business as a regular patient.
Here's my story:
So I went to my general dentist for a cleaning and check-up, while I was there I had voiced some concern over some discoloration in my front tooth. After some further x-rays my dentist determined that my front tooth is dead (RIP front tooth)!
Once a tooth dies it can become discolored over time, and continue to darken. I wasn't surprised at the news since I had Googled my symptoms, so the diagnosis made sense. That being said, I've never even had a cavity in my life, so I'm really unfamiliar with dental work. My dentist said the only option would be a crown, I asked how exactly a crown worked and he said they would have to shave my tooth down and then put a crown on top (scary)! Since this is a purely aesthetic procedure, insurance doesn't cover it and the price for a crown is over $1,000.
After some further research I decided to get a second opinion as a crown seemed really aggressive, and I wanted to discuss all of my options. Being so unfamiliar with dental work I really just needed some hand holding on this one.
To Yelp I went, and searched for the top rated Cosmetic Dentist. Simply Dentistry had all 5 star reviews, so I called them up, explained my situation, and they were able to fit me in within the week.
I walked into the office and Brittany knew who I was, and exactly what I was there for. I didn't have to re-explain my situation (so nice!). She then gave me a tour of the office and it's amenities, which included a computer to use, complimentary water, cable TV with remote privileges, and a comfortable waiting room. I filled out my paperwork, had x-rays taken, and then had my exam with Dr. Tran. She really listened to my concerns, and we had a lengthy conversation about what my options were. She said that she thought a crown was an extremely aggressive approach, and suggested whitening instead (whitening is currently 50% as a 5 year anniversary special). This was not an option given to me at my other dentist. I chose the whitening option and saved about $900!
This is an honest and trustworthy office, that just saved me a large amount of money, and they've proven that they really care about their patients. After my visit with them, they just earned themselves a new patient and my husband too!
