| - As far as dentists go, Dr Thompson is probably the best I've seen. His whole staff is very personable and extremely helpful. I've got ridiculously sensitive teeth and generally have to be knocked out for any procedure, including cleanings. Dr Thompson understands this and works with you to do whatever it takes so that you feel comfortable. He's a great big giant of a man and can seem a little intimidating, but he really is a gentle giant. Blocks your view so you can't see the needle coming, talks to you to take your mind off the procedures. He and his staff always have your best interests at heart.
I went in recently because of tooth pain in lower molar. I was given 3 options: root canal, extraction, filling. They ran my insurance and gave the costs of everything before we even decided on a method of action. One of the assistants came in and advised against the extraction, if possible, since it was a key tooth in terms of chewing. Dr Thompson made it clear that the filling may not work, but he could try it, but there was a possibility that it may turn into a root canal. I opted for the filling. Once again, he did a great job and I haven't felt any discomfort since.
If you're in the market for a great dentist, especially if you have a phobia of the medieval torture that is dental care, I highly recommend Dr Thompson and his team.
