Fantastic experience: I love this dental office! The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable while having work done in the chair.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience here! From someone who gets nervous at the dentist I highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I wish I could do 6 stars! The staff members at this facility were nothing but nice & professional. I couldn't recommend them enough. The waiting room was also a very comfortable experience! I can't explain enough how well the staff members were. Please make this your new dentist office
Fantastic experience: They were quick,honest and told me exactly what needed done and were clear on the costs,will definitely come back
Fantastic experience: My visit today with Dr. M and his assistant Bre was great. We evaluated my dental needs and they went above and beyond to help me. They care for their patients.
Dear Kell,
Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that you had a great visit with Dr. M and Bre. We truly appreciate your feedback and are happy we could help you with your dental needs. Patient care is our top priority, and we're delighted that you felt well taken care of.
Fantastic experience: Pleasant environment & Friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: The best!!! Everyone is extremely kind and caring, and I mean everyone! Jordan is an absolute sweetheart and makes your visit so chill and comfortable. For once a dental office that’s not just in it for the money. I am so glad I found this office.
Negative experience: I had an appointment scheduled for all three of my children to have their regular cleanings and checkups. The day before our appointment, I called to let the office know that we had an unexpected accident that resulted in our windshield being shattered, so we needed to reschedule. The staff member I spoke with told me that because of the cancellation, they would never schedule all three of my children together again since it left a three-hour gap in their schedule. I explained that this was a completely unforeseen situation and not something we could have planned for or avoided. Even when I asked if we could reschedule several months in advance, I was told they still would not allow all three appointments to be booked together. I understand that offices have scheduling policies, but I was disappointed by the complete lack of compassion and flexibility for a genuine emergency. Life happens, and I expected a little more understanding. Unfortunately, because of this experience, our family will be finding a new dental office.
Fantastic experience: The staff took every step to make me feel comfortable since I tend to have dental anxiety. Staff took the time to be very explicit of everything they were doing and what our next steps might be. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Quality service with great customer service. Keep up the good work
Fantastic experience: To anyone who is looking for a caring office, this my friends is the pmace to go. From the bottom of my heart, I thank Meramec Family Dental, for the most important appointment I have had in years.
Fantastic experience: Life became busy with kids, work, and school, and unfortunately my oral health ended up taking a back seat. It’s not something I’m proud of, but I eventually realized it was time to prioritize my health and get back on track. When I finally decided to schedule an appointment, I walked into Meramec Family Dentistry feeling incredibly nervous and anxious. I even got emotional while talking with Bree. From the moment she greeted me, she treated me with genuine kindness, compassion, and understanding. I never once felt judged or embarrassed. Instead, I felt welcomed, heard, and reassured. I am so grateful to Bree for helping ease my fears and making what could have been an overwhelming experience feel comfortable and manageable. Her kindness truly meant more than she probably realizes. Thank you to everyone at Meramec Family Dentistry. From the moment I walked through the door, to my conversation with Bree, to the staff member who took the time to explain my treatment plan and costs, every interaction was met with kindness, patience, and professionalism. I felt supported every step of the way. Thank you all for making me feel comfortable, respected, and cared for while taking this important step toward improving my oral health. I highly recommend Meramec Family Dentistry to anyone who may be feeling anxious about going to the dentist—you’ll be in compassionate and capable hands. ⭐
Fantastic experience: The facility is clean and bright and cheery. Everyone here is so kind and welcoming! I was treated with respect and friendliness! I highly recommend Meramec Family Denistry!!
Negative experience: This dental office doesn't work well with families or parents and will cancel your appt if you show up with your child.
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about my dentist and his entire team. I’m forever thankful for them and all the work they do!
Fantastic experience: Everyone was very nice and informative they put my mind at ease and I believe they will help me with my situation in a very professional manner.
Fantastic experience: Very up to date facility and the people there are super friendly! My son doesn't mind going to the dentist and neither do! No long wait either. They are very knowleable and answer all my questions too. Very close to home.
Heather, we're so glad to hear that you and your kids have had a positive experience at our facility! Your feedback means a lot to us, and we're thrilled to know we've made dental visits more enjoyable for your family. Thank you for choosing our practice, and if you need anything in the future, feel free to reach out.
Fantastic experience: This place is great!! They are friendly and kind while providing care. They are very knowledgeable and thorough, while also making sure you are comfortable during any part of the services they are performing. They went above and beyond when scheduling my appointment that is covered by Medicaid. There was some difficulty verifying coverage, and they gave tremendous effort to get confirmation for me. Never thought I'd say this, but I look forward to seeing them for years to come and trust them completely with the care of my teeth.
Fantastic experience: I love this place. I had a dental emergency and they got me right in. Took care of my tooth fast and effectively. I feel bad cause I can't remember my nurses name. She was a sweetheart. She even told me where I could get the stand she had in her room. I completely recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Great nice staff and fast and they let you know what's what every step of the way highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful time at Meramec Family Density! They were amazing, super nice. If you’re really nervous about going to the dentist I highly recommend them!
Fantastic experience: Great! Definitely recommend. I have extremely bad dental anxiety and the staff was very calming and attentive to my needs.
Alesia, thank you for taking the time to write about your experience. We’re so glad we were able to help you feel comfortable. We're happy that you're happy, and we're looking forward to your next visit!
Fantastic experience: Shannon and everyone was great!!
Fantastic experience: I was pleasantly surprised this morning at meramec dental. Not only was the waiting room exquisitely clean, with comfortable seating instead of the cheapest chairs you can find. All the ladies there are also very neat. Happy, professional and knowledgeable. You can tell they actually care about your well being. It was a very short wait to go back, Katie was very quick, efficient, and she was exquisite in not making my x rays more uncomfortable than necessary. The dr. Was extremely nice and made sure I understood everything that was said. Kelsey the hygienist was also very quick and knowledgeable, their quote was astonishingly low compared to other dentists I've been too. I look forward to performing all of my dentist work here!
Negative experience: I called this place to setup an appointment for myself and my gf. I explained she had insurance, and I would be out of pocket. They called her back and ignored me. Red flag #1, she went to her appointment and they told her she had 3 cavities that needed fillings. We got a second opinion and she only had 2 cavities that need fillings. Red flag #2, this is one of those places that will drill perfectly healthy teeth just so they can bill your insurance. I'd avoid it. ♂️
Fantastic experience: I'm a new patient at Meramac Family Dentistry. From the ladies in the front office, to the lady who explained my costs on upcoming procedures, and to the only dentist that ever made me laugh while sitting in a dentist chair, all of you ROCK.
Fantastic experience: One of the stress free visits I’ve ever had with a dental group. I hope my return visit will go as well. Thank you!!!
Fantastic experience: They are wonderful! Got me in on a moments notice when I had tooth pain/swelling and fixed me right up. The staff are truly amazing, I've never been so impressed with a dental group. Very friendly and inviting, I'll be sticking with them from here on out.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been bringing my son to this dentist since he was a toddler, and I couldn't be happier with the care he's received over the years. The staff is always friendly and patient, which is so important for young kids who might be nervous about going to the dentist. They explain everything clearly and make sure he's comfortable throughout his checkups and cleanings. I highly recommend this dentist office to any family looking for a great dental experience!
Fantastic experience: Had my first visit at Meramec Family Dentistry and I couldn’t be happier! From the moment I walked in, everyone was so friendly and helpful. They got me in within 24 hours of submitting my paperwork, which was amazing. I live over an hour away, and what I loved was that they carefully figured out everything that needed to be done and came up with a plan to get it done in the fewest trips possible. The staff, dentist, and hygienist were professional and thorough, explaining everything clearly. The office is clean and welcoming. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I have been to a lot of dental offices, but this office takes the prize for the Imperial and surrounding areas! From the front desk, the hygienist, Dr. Mandefro, everyone makes you feel welcome and comfortable! I will never go anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: I have been to Merame Family Dentistry twice in the last year. Everyone was so incredibly nice, informative, and professional. I will continue to go to this dentist.
Thank you, Kim, for sharing your experience. You are an amazing patient! We look forward to continuing to serve you and meeting all of your expectations.
Fantastic experience: Awesome employees no complaints at all everyone is very welcoming!!! Way to go!!!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this office. The staff are caring and nice. They make sure you understand everything they tell you about your treatments. I would recommend them for everyone.
Fantastic experience: super attentive, extremely friendly every member of staff, great overall experience
Fantastic experience: Very professional and super kind! Definitely reccomend
Fantastic experience: I've been looking for a new dentist and this office was everything I was searching for.
Fantastic experience: Everyone is very kind, caring,and professional! I want to add I gave you all a 10 a 5 rating is not high enough! Thank you all!
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient for about a year. Being terrified of dentists, I have to say the staff and Dr. are all amzing. They take the time to not only explain the process, but also take the time to do proceedure the right way, and pain free.
Fantastic experience: What a SERVICE!! Not only that I received the most wonderful service of my dental care history, they make you feel good and human. Amber was top notch dental hygienist for me. Dr. Mandefro was also very human and would only talk to you like a good neighbor. I love it and made my 6 month appointment right away . Thank you fellas! See you in 6 months
Negative experience: As nice as the people in the office is. They certainly dont have your best interest at heart. Went in a few months back for a quote on some work. Got it scheduled and everything. Come to find out a WEEK PRIOR to my surgery that I needed to pay an ADDITIONAL $1K out of pocket for anesthesia. This is on top of the $1500 I was already quoted. When I called to ask about it, I was told "surely the girls would've told you that prior" no, they sure didnt. And when asked what options I had they said they had none. Highly encourage you to look elsewhere if you can. I have to after 3 months of looking forward to getting the work I needed done. Atrocious customer service and showed 0 empathy towards me and their clear miscommunication. Just was told "I'll tell the girls for next time"
Fantastic experience: The staff was really great with my granddaughter i would recommend anyone to take their child there
Thank you, William! We're so glad to hear our team took great care of your granddaughter. It means a lot that you'd recommend us for children's dental care — we truly appreciate your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable, friendly staff clean environment with excellent customer service. Definitely recommend 10/10.
Fantastic experience: My previous dentist retired so I was looking for a new one. I was referred here and now I’m glad I decided to try it out. The staff explained everything that they were doing or going to do and why they were doing it all while making you feel comfortable and stress free. 10/10 would recommend!
Fantastic experience: Very very nice staff. The receptionist was so nice and friendly, the boss ( I’m assuming ) was so nice and offered to watch our baby while we were back there. We were just coming in for X-rays and scans and they went above and beyond to accommodate for us and fit in a cleaning for my husband. Would recommend them to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Meramec Family Dentistry was extremely helpful and friendly. They made the experience of going to the dentist as worry free as it could possibly be. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a new dentist.
Fantastic experience: I have horrible teeth, have been to the dentist only a handful of times in my 30 years. They made me feel so comfortable, heard, valid, ect. They're clean, quick, but not in the business of rushing you! AMAZING TEAM!!! Seriously, they're wonderful!
Fantastic experience: People are very nice, good service and quick to help. Good with young people and makes sure they're straightforward, but not too formal. -Gen Castro
Fantastic experience: Everyone was super nice. Katie did a fantastic job.
Fantastic experience: I loved this place! Such kind people I would absolutely recommend!

Thank you for your great review, Craig! We're happy to hear that you found our office clean, comfortable, and professional. We're glad the team provided clear instructions, and we look forward to welcoming you back for your next visit!
Fantastic experience: New review since they moved offices. The new office is wonderful! so much bigger. The parking area is most def better than before which is awesome. They're not far from where they used to be either so not too much of a drive difference. Definitely great people and staff. The dentist himself was very helpful in telling me what we needed to do and explaining why. Seriously one of the best dentists I've ever seen. Not to mention thier waiting room seats were soooo comfy!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been looking for a dentist for months after moving to Arnold. Today I had my first appointment with Meramec Family Dentistry. I was welcomed with courteous compassionate staff that were very accommodating and informative. From the front desk to my exam to the business office staff I was met with a professional staff that made me feel good about my choice of dental care Looking forward to future dental care at Meramec Family Dentistry
Fantastic experience: They were super accommodating and all the staff was great to deal with.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful lovely place to be, and the customer service is wonderful always willing to help and always willing to explain. My kids have been with this dentist office for 8 years loved dentist
Positive experience: Staff and dentist was very friendly. Im a single mom so i was dissappointed to know that I would have to pay over 10,000 to get a few things done. Thats after insurance. They have a credit card but that would be another bill for me to pay that I dont have. I wish they had payment plans.
Fantastic experience: Best dentist ever they were so kind, and helpful!
Fantastic experience: I love everyone at the ifficethey are very sweet kind and fast but gentle
Negative experience: My children were patients here and at the time they had no openings for adults so i was going to comtrea dental who informed me I needed a filling. Meramec family dentist ended up calling me with an opening for me before I could get in for the filling so I decided to switch to them. Meremac redid my X-rays and exam and told me that tooth did not need a filling. Fast forward about 8 months I come back in and they tell me that I had a cavity that was so bad I probably would end up needing a root canal but they would try to fill it. They did the filling and I contacted Comtrea to ask if that was the same tooth they initially said needed a filling and they informed me it was. I switched back to comtrea they did an exam and said they would need to redo the filling meremac just did because it was not done properly. They redid it and said i was going to need a root canal.. I’ve called and made a complaint and asked for my medical records and they said when they get time they will send them and told me it would be 5-7 days. I’m still waiting on a call back in hopes they are willing to pay for this 3500 dollar root canal insurance does not cover! I would not recommend going to this dentist at all!
Fantastic experience: Always a great experience! My son and myself have been patients for a few years now and will continue to see DR. AZARYAS MANDEFRO. Thanks for making the visits quick and easy!
Fantastic experience: I alwats have a wonderful experience with Dr. Mandy (which is what everyone calls him)! He's an amazing dentist who always makes sure his patients feel comfortable. And his staff is absolutely amazing as well! They always go above and beyond, and I just love them to death. I highly recommend them!!!
Fantastic experience: I had all on 4 dental implant last year and I am very much satisfied with the procedure. Overall I am quite impressed with professional service I received.
Fantastic experience: The staff was very friendly and well educated. My daughter has some special circumstances that they took note of and are making arrangements to enable her to get all the help she needs.
Fantastic experience: Extremely professional and reassuring throughout the process. They explain what they are doing before and as they go. Reception is kind and knowledgeable. I felt no judgements!
Fantastic experience: Best family dentistry I've been to so far very great and wonderful
Fantastic experience: The staff is amazing. The absolute best experience with a dental office.
Negative experience: If you’re looking for a family friendly dentist office this one is not it!!! Wanted to take my 5 and 9 year old back without me in room with strangers for safety reasons because I had there younger sister with me! Absolutely not!!!
Fantastic experience: Very quick and to the point. I went just to analyze the situation that I had going on. they had a couple people come in to analyze my teeth and gums and take some pictures but they had me in and out in 30 mins with a treatment plan. For somebody with a very busy schedule I appreciated the efficiency.
Thank you, Natalie! We truly appreciate your kind review and look forward to your next visit!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely hate hate hate hate going to the dentist. But I have succeeded in getting every single tooth pulled and getting dentures and getting them fitted and everyone at Meramac family dental has been nothing but kind and helpful.
Thank you, Lissa!
Fantastic experience: My two children and I have been a patients for years! I am always impressed with this team...they are personable, professional, educational, and helpful.

Hi Tiffany,
Thank you so much for the glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience and that our team made sure everything was just right. Your recommendation means the world to us!
Negative experience: Called and scheduled an appointment. Told them upfront I had severe dental anxiety and needed someone I know and trust to go back with me. They said they would accommodate that. Go to the appointment only to be told my wife cant go back with me. Again told them how bad my anxiety is at the dentist and that i need her back there with me. The manager comes out with a horrible attitude and says I'm taking you off the schedule we cant accommodate you. No explanation on why or why my wife couldn't go back with me. If they couldn't accommodate me when I called to make the appointment they should have said that. Terrible service and the managers attitude was ridiculous.
Fantastic experience: This is the best dental office I’ve ever been to. Everyone is so friendly, compassionate and non-judgmental. They make an experience that’s highly stressful for me, very relaxed. Dr. Mandefro is by far the friendliest dentist I’ve ever encountered and always makes me laugh. Amber the hygienist, Paige the tech, and Sarah at the front are all super welcoming and so friendly!
Wow, Jessica — thank you so much for your kind words! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your experience with us has been so positive. It means everything to know we’ve helped turn a typically stressful visit into something relaxed and even enjoyable. Dr. Mandefro, Amber, Paige, and Sarah will be so touched by your shout-out — they truly love what they do, and it shows. We're lucky to have you as a patient!
Fantastic experience: Great experience and a new office!! Everyone is so friendly and gets along so well, their work is top notch.
Thank you Rhea!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love going to Meramec Family Dentistry. Everyone is super sweet and is willing to answer any questions you may have. Their time management is phenomenal and they always seem to be running ahead! This is unlike any other dentist office I’ve been to. My hygienist always answers my questions and makes me feel so comfortable during my appointments! I’m so excited to see them move into a bigger space! Thank you for making me feel amazing and smile bigger than ever
Thank you so much for your kind words, Emma! We're thrilled to hear that you love visiting Meramec Family Dentistry and that our team makes you feel comfortable and well cared for. We truly appreciate your support and can't wait to welcome you to our new space soon! Keep smiling!
Negative experience: I’m assuming the owner isn’t aware the receptionist is losing customers before they walk in the door. Called to make an appointment, filled out all my paperwork, tells me “they will call me” Aren’t I supposed to schedule an appointment..? Or even have the option to. Tried to call back for 2 days, receptionist forwards all my calls and sends me a txt message directly after my call… wow, guess my questions about your service don’t matter. Red flags all around
We appreciate your feedback and are sorry for any confusion. Our office follows a protocol where new patients complete paperwork before scheduling an appointment to help us provide the most efficient care. We understand that this process may not work for everyone, and we will take your feedback into consideration as we evaluate ways to improve our procedures. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Fantastic experience: The entire staff at Meramec Family Dentistry was absolutely incredible! I hadn't been to any dentist in several years and had severe anxiety about my first appointment. They made me feel comfortable, heard, and understood. They walked me through every part of the appointment and explained what my upcoming appointments would look like. They were full of compassion and had zero judgement about why I hadn't been to a dentist in so long. I would recommend this dental practice to anyone! Countless thank yous to this entire staff.
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt experience, Danielle! We're delighted that our team could help ease your anxiety and make your visit comfortable and informative. Your kind words truly mean a lot to us. We look forward to continuing to care for your smile!
Fantastic experience: Great experience! First visit was yesterday for my initial exam and the staff got me in quickly. Everyone was very super friendly. Cute little waiting room with the most beautiful & comfortable couches lol. The experience was not only painless, but it was very laidback, not rushed and extremely comfortable. Very clean, neat and organized facility. Everyone was professional, yet down to Earth and personable. They were even able to easily accommodate my next visit (my deep cleaning) easy, even with their very booked schedule . I’ll be seeing them NEXT WEEK for my cleaning and I can’t wait. I just love the feeling of newly cleaned and polished teeth. Thank you Meramec Dental!

Their lobby was very cozy to, I highly recommend, I will be back in 6 months for my next cleaning.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Emma! We're so glad to hear that our team made your visit enjoyable and comfortable. It's great to know you appreciated the cozy atmosphere as well. We look forward to seeing you again in six months for your next cleaning!

Negative experience: The people here were so amazing until , called for an emergency extraction today . Told the women on the phone I was in extreme pain and haven't slept in over 24 hours . I've been a patient there for over 5 years , and was told to go else where , wouldn't even give me recommendations absolutely zero help ..

Negative experience: Canceling someone’s appointment for not being in contact with you guys for a week is not okay !

Fantastic experience: Man I love you guys!! Always awesome and pulled teeth never hurt. Also, I can't recall her name but she has the sweet black jeep.

Negative experience: If you are looking for an office that have people with compassion Meramac Family Dentistry is not the place . My son has been waiting to get his braces since he was 9. I had to work , my mom , his grandmother took him . They left an hour and 15 minutes early . Somehow Apple Maps took them to the wrong place . He was on the waiting list for a month . Appointment was 945, my son texted and said my mom was upset because they were lost and was worried they would be late and asked me to call. I called 15 mins before the appointment to let them know they would be there any minute but got lost which is why they weren’t there a little early . I figured that would help out a little .They got there at 10am. 15 minutes late . They were not even late when the called and these ladies already was in a rush to reschedule. Not only would they not see my son. When she asked if they could reschedule or get put back on the waiting list they were told NO!!!. If you knew how long my 19 year old son has waited to be able to get this done. We were referred out to have this last procedure done. Had struggled with his teeth since a young boy. His insurance would not cover. We finally had the money and paid SLU 1900 down of the 4500 . But he had to just get a tooth pulled before he could get his braces. His heart has been so set on this . Now we are back are square 1. When I tried to tell the receptionist who answered this she was very COLD and literally cut me off . They don’t care about the patients . They want there patients in and out . They have no compassion and could really care less about this being a very big appointment for someone . So I don’t care how many good reviews Meramac Family Dentistry has the fact that they answer the phone like robots and seem like they are heartless says a lot to me . I work in healthcare with Physicians. I get that one person can throw the doctors schedule off, but no matter how upset the front office is when people are late. One thing I can say is most physicians and dentist I know will work the patient in , IF NOT, give them a day to come Back. Not totally refuse but when they asked if they could reschedule they were straight told NO!! My son not longer has dental insurance and we were also going to pay out of pocket. I just can’t respect any practice that does this . I can see if they are continuously late or didn’t call to say they were lost. So let this be advice to leave extra extra early .
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Our policy is "over ten minutes late has to be rescheduled". We truly apologize for any frustration this situation has caused. Our goal is always to provide compassionate care, and we regret that your visit did not reflect that. We would like the opportunity to discuss this further and see how we can help. Please contact our office so we can work towards a resolution.
Fantastic experience: Everyone concerning the whole staff was very helpful and I can't remember having that much of a pleasurable experience visiting the Dentist probably every since i was much younger, the lady at the front desk was remarkably fast and knowledgeable with getting me set up with Medicaid/Medicare adjustments that I needed to begin making and she was very helpful and experienced, that place is lucky to have her...

Fantastic experience: Micah and Cylus used to go to a dentist in Festus and they wouldn't get out of the car to go in because they were scared to death. Someone told me about this dentist and I took them there and they didn't want to go in but they finally did and they loved him. The dentist didn't hurt them. My granddaughter and grandson came out with a smile. No tears! Yay!

Fantastic experience: Great staff and doctor! I've been patronizing for years and couldn't be happier with the experiences. When you need dental work, make the best of it by choosing your practioner wisely. I've had the full range of services from Dr. Mandefro and his team over many years: cavities; crowns; root canal; wisdom teeth extractions; and implants. All accomplished with minimal fuss, reasonable fees, and no trauma. Patient comfort is prioritzed and the obvious skills of the whole team makes every procedure as easy as possible.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that you've had such positive experiences with Dr. Mandefro and the team over the years. Your trust and satisfaction mean a lot to us, and we're here to continue providing you with the best care possible!
Fantastic experience: The nicest and most helpful people in this office. They had a wait list but called within 1 day of me calling and got me in and I also was early and they were able to see me a little early as well. Very professional and clean environment. Highly recommended!
Thank you, April, for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that our team could accommodate you so quickly and provide a professional, clean environment. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: I recently went here because I had a tooth break and needed it fixed. Even though I was a new patient they were still able to get me in fairly quickly. Once in they were able to check it out and see I needed a root canal and crown. I was not that excited about it as my last one (through another practice) was absolutely horrible and painful for weeks. They knew I was nervous about it and kept checking in throughout the procedure to see how I was doing. They listened to me when I said my bite was not right and corrected it until I was happy. I can honestly say this experience was 1000x’s better than my previous and I do not regret one bit getting it done. The only pain involved was a little discomfort from where the numbing shots were administered and the temp crown was a little sensitive for a couple days, but completely bareable ( and I’m a huge baby with mouth pain) I received my permanent crown today and it went absolutely perfect and I have zero pain or discomfort even after the numbing wore off. The pricing was extremely manageable and I’m excited to get through the rest of my treatment plan over the next few months. I would also like to add that he made sure I was clear of any infection prior to doing the work, I honestly think that was the huge factor between my last one and this one. They listened when I told them the one antibiotic I was on wasn’t helping and immediately put me on a different one that did work.
Thank you, Lisa, for your detailed and glowing review! We're delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with us and that we could alleviate your concerns. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. We're glad to know that our team made you feel at ease throughout the procedure and that you're happy with the results. We look forward to continuing your treatment plan and providing you with the best care possible. Have a wonderful day!
