| - I have some pretty significant problems with my teeth (mostly resulting from having them improperly sealed by a different dentist when the procedure was brand-new in the 80s). Dr. Faught and his team have been terrific at helping me understand the problems better and start to get them fixed. I first had a thorough cleaning by Heather, who took photos and x-rays, reviewed all of the images with me, and explained what was going on with my teeth throughout the cleaning. She and Dr. Faught answered all of my questions, presented several options, and rated the different problems by severity / necessity. All in all, it was a great experience. No one ever pushed cosmetic procedures or things I couldn't afford. I left with a good, reasonable treatment plan that worked with my budget and insurance, and I learned a lot about my teeth.
I opted to have one crown done - the tooth in most need of attention. In addition to having problem teeth, I'm also resistant to certain anesthetics, but Dr. Faught made sure that I wasn't in any pain during the crown prep-work and again explained all of the details well. A few days after each crown (the temporary and permanent), I had trouble with the bite, but the office fit me into the schedule in a day or two when I needed adjustments and made sure that everything was aligned properly.
The office does seem to be a bit over-booked, and I did feel like I was frequently waiting a bit longer than ideal (perhaps because they will squeeze people in when they need help)... so plan for some extra time when you schedule. At the same time, I got excellent care and a lot of useful patient education, so I don't want to take off a star for that.
