The good news is there was no blood sucking Venus fly trap in the corner. The bad news is it's the dentist office, which I am all too familiar with.
Today's visit was prompted by sensitivity to water in a tooth with an OLD filling. Made an appointment about a week ago and they were able to get me in fairly quickly. Got a call yesterday asking if I could come earlier. That was no problem. They were ready to go when I arrived without any wait.
It was determined that I would need a crown, but not a root canal (the silver lining). They did all of the work immediately and sent off for my crown to be made. I could've come back as early as next week, but I couldn't make it. Start to finish the appointment was about 2.5 hours.
The facilities here are adequate, but not state of the art. There are no tvs on your chair or stand in X-Rays, but they get the job done just the same and for less than most. Dr. Howell does an excellent job organizing her assistants so that her time is maximized.
Best of all, Dr. Howell's prices are reasonable compared to her competitors. She offers a dental discount plan if you have no dental insurance for $225. It's worth it if you're having major work done.
