| - A guy walks into a dentists office to get a cleaning. Through no fault on the dentist's part, he finishes 7 hours later.
Mountain Dental Group was a fantastic place to end my 3 year hiatus of going to a dentist. When you make an appointment for (insert dental issue here), the office sends you an email with a link to fill out your medical history. Remember the days of coming into the dentist office just to awkwardly fill out sheets of info on a clipboard? Well, no longer.
The waiting area is warm and relaxing, with lots of space and no dividers between you and the receptionists. A big flat screen TV is featuring pretty recent movies, and around the corner is a video game system for the kids.
I came in for a cleaning because I've had my brand new insurance for almost 9 months and haven't used it yet. This is a paperless office (save for the receipt at the end), and most everything is done on signature pads and computer screens.
Off I go for x-rays, but this office also does photos of your teeth. Then it's on for the lovely gum-poking-number game, and then the doctor shows for the exam. Here's a dental lesson: silver fillings shrink, and when that happens decay grows under the filling. So begins a fun filled 6 hours, and i end up with a cleaning, 2 crowns, and a root canal. However, there is a monitor above the chair, and I spent 2 of the hours watching Top Gun. Fantastic.
The cleaning part was pretty standard, except they have a laser technology to kill bacteria at the gum line to give you a fresh start.
I can say with great certainty (and I'm sure almost all of you will agree with me) that going to the dentist is not pleasant. Going for the first time in 3 years is just icing on the cake. But the doctor and her team were very comforting and easy to work with, and I will be returning to this office for all my dental needs in the future.
Tell them Jack Wang sent you; the guy who spent a lovely day with them.
