My dental office closed a few months ago, and since I am moving to the Tramonto neighborhood, I chose to find a new dentist in the area. This group is on my insurance, so I called to see if they were accepting new patients. The gentleman on the phone said yes, scheduled my appointment for the following week, and sent me a link to new-patient paperwork.\n\nSince I was changing dentists, I needed to update the insurance company. Someone from Tramonto Dental Group called a week before my appointment to ensure I had updated my insurance. Awesome.\n\nOn the day of my appointment, I was greeted kindly and didn't have to wait too long before being called back. The dental assistant took a lot of x-rays and said they like to get a complete picture of my dental condition and needs. (I will say that she touched all of the x-ray stuff that was going into my mouth before putting on gloves, which wigged me out a little, but I'll forgive them.)\n\nI saw the hygienist next, and she was lovely. I have issues with my gums, and I know that. I am on a four-month cleaning schedule, but since my dentist closed, I hadn't been in six months. They immediately began to address this. I was offered a number of solutions my old dentist had never even suggested--for a lower cost! PLUS, they were able to accommodate my increased needs on the same visit. I've never had that happen before at a dentist; usually, I've had to schedule a follow-up appointment to get everything addressed.\n\nThe hygienist went through the costs, got my approval, and went to work with everything. It all happened pretty quickly. \n\nNext, the dentist came in to check on me. He further explained the suggested treatment plan and answered my questions. Instead of a four-month plan, they want me back in three months to get a handle on everything, and I have no doubt they will.\n\nAs we relocate, my husband and son will need a new dentist, and if their insurance is accepted here, they will become patients of Tramonto Dental Group as well. I am very happy to have found our new dentist!"^^ . . "0"^^ . "5"^^ . "0"^^ .
