"This is not by any stretch of the imagination the worst dental experience I've had; however, I would never return to Rainsprings Dental Group again.\n\nThe front desk folks were very nice. I showed up on time, filled out appropriate first timer paperwork and waited to be called back. It was about ten minutes after my appointment time that I got to go to the back, but that's about normal.\n\nX-rays were, well, dental x-rays. The technician was polite but nothing to write home to mom about. They took a full set of photos that in reality probably didn't take but 10 minutes, but when you have that painful plastic doodad in your mouth it seems forever. \n\nThen I went back to the exam room. The dentist came in, introduced himself to me, and immediately told me that I needed an implant to fill an empty slot from a bad baby tooth a few years back. This is what completely put me off to the whole place. No, \"how do you do\" or anything, just give me several thousand dollars please. He did go through why he thought that I needed something there and that there were several financing options that the others could discuss with me later but it was too late. Being slammed in the face with a multi thousand dollar price tag by a man who spent 5 minutes with me is just a tad off-putting.\n\nMy hygienist however was the best hygienist I've ever had. She was gentle, thorough, and chatted the whole time without expecting you to respond while having a mouthful of instruments. She has lots of experience under her belt, 37 years exactly if I remember correctly.\n\nAfter my teeth were cleaned the front desk guy, Sam, came back again and discussed my options for bridges and appropriate financing. He was polite, knowledgeable, and patient with my questions. He was awesome.\n\nOverall it was a decent experience but nothing great. But like I said at the beginning, I will not be returning anytime soon."^^ . "2015-08-15T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ .
