Experiencia fantástica: New patient, impressed! The entire staff did not disappoint. From beginning to end the staff represented professional, efficient, knowledgeable service. Highly recommended.
Experiencia negativa: Neither my wife, or i, lasted 6 months here as new patients before they FORCED us to find a different dental office. At my initial exam i was told i needed to have my remaining upper teeth removed, and get a denture made, because saving them "wasn't worth the work". I informed them that i was going to be starting 2 months of cancer radiation soon, so it would have to wait until that was done. Then i found out my insurance wouldn't cover it for several months after my radiation was completed, due to work i had done the year before. Then when i attempted to schedule my 6 month cleaning, the receptionist informed me that Dr. Alan "REFUSED" to clean my teeth until my other work was done. This was in early May. When i said insurance wouldn't cover it until mid September, they still refused, and didn't care that this would cost us several thousand dollars without insurance. After voicing my displeasure, they completely changed what i was told, and shown on my x-rays during my initial exam, and claimed i had other issues that i know i don't have, in an attempt at justification. My wife was told at her initial exam that she needed "deep cleaning" of 2 teeth that had crowns and would require 3 appointments over 6 months. When she declined, and attempted to schedule her first cleaning, they did the exact same thing to her, and the receptionist told her they would not clean her teeth until she complied! Not our idea of how dental patients should be treated, and there should never be a reason for a dentist to refuse to do a cleaning, and this is a new one for both of us. They don't give "recommendations". They give REQUIREMENTS, to be done immediately, before any cleanings are done, and they don't care if you're waiting for insurance approval. They also "require" full x-rays every 3 years before they will do anything, and didn't care that our insurance only covers them every 5. You don't have a say or a choice with these people, and aren't allowed to decline any services. We believe these 'requirements' would have been never-ending, and even more costly in the future.
At Martin Family Dentistry, our doctors base recommendations on clinical need and diagnosis—not on insurance coverage. For new patients with extensive dental treatment or generalized dental disease, a comprehensive radiographic evaluation may be necessary before our doctors can responsibly establish a diagnosis and treatment plan.
Periodontal disease also requires appropriate periodontal treatment. A routine prophylaxis or "a cleaning" is not appropriate for patients with active periodontal disease or a history of periodontitis requiring periodontal therapy. Depending on the patient's condition, treatment may include scaling and root planing and/or periodontal maintenance which are much more involved.
We also take the dental needs of patients preparing for any type of cancer treatments very seriously. For example, any surgical dental treatment done in an area affected by radiation can cause significant complications, such as death of parts of the jaw bone. Identifying and addressing potential sources of infection and teeth with a poor prognosis before radiation, is an essential part of preparing for the cancer treatment. The properly indicated surgical dental work often cannot be left unaddressed until after the radiation treatments are completed.
These policies are not intended to take choices away from our patients. Patients are always free to ask questions, seek another opinion, or accept or decline recommended treatment. Our responsibility is to provide an accurate diagnosis, explain our recommendations, and help patients understand the potential consequences of delaying care.
We believe our patients deserve thorough, evidence-based care focused on their long-term oral health. We genuinely wish you both the best.
Experiencia fantástica: I have been coming here for almost 20 years. Since moving 10 years ago my drive is now over 30 minutes, but well worth it. Laurie is an amazing hygienist and all of the dentists are wonderful!
Experiencia fantástica: Long time patient of Martin Family and won’t go anywhere else!
Experiencia fantástica: On time, no pain, just 25 minutes for small cavity, what more could you ask for
Experiencia fantástica: I always have the best care here!! Highly recommend Dr Jeff and his assistants. So thorough and they help you understand everything going on so you are not left with any confusion. I love this place and the work they do! 5 stars every time :D
Experiencia fantástica: I have never been a fan of going to the dentist but Dr. Jeff made me feel so comfortable! He’s highly knowledgeable and truly listens to you. 10/10!
Experiencia fantástica: Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They make you feel very welcome and explain every step of the process to alleviate any anxiety you may have about Dentist visits. I had some defects in two of my front 4 teeth that caused me to be insecure about smiling at times and Dr Phill corrected my defects and I honestly can’t stop smiling. I feel like a new person in a sense. I had a crown placed as well and was able to watch my mold being made right in front of me (which was pretty cool!) and the procedure was smooth sailing. 10/10 recommend!
Experiencia negativa: Had an implant break randomly that Dr Martin had told me would last at least 10 years after only 2-3 years. Dr Martin went to town working on my issue and wasn’t able to remove the previous implant. He admitted after tearing my gums up and destroying my teeth and jaw enamel that he should have advised me to go to an oral surgeon prior but he made a mistake. Left a giant hole in my gums and a missing tooth that was so embarrassing I ended up quitting my job and struggling for 5 years. Future doctors said he placed the implant way too close for such a small position which caused the eventual break down. He charged me to have any temporary maintenance and then cut me off completely when I was extremely upset and refused to help me at all. I spent about 20 years of dental hell with this man who will operate on you without consent, concern, and without any repercussions or destroying my mouth and it will never be the same again. My gums are so destroyed from him trying to remove a faulty implant that he inserted in the first place, on top of miserable feelings of embarrassment from teeth related issues in general.
Experiencia negativa: First off all, my Husband goes to this Dentist & my Husband recommended this Dentist for our Daughter. My Daughter's Dentist is Dr. Pendleton & her school & work hours interfere with Dr. Pendleton's schedule. We made an appointment with this Dentistry for my Daughter to have her teeth cleaned. My Husband took my Daughter to her appointment, she got her tooth cleaned. Her appt. was @ 2pm she was done around 3pm. We sitting at the dinner table eating dinner & watching the 5pm news. My Husband receives a text @ 5:07 pm asking him if he by chance "PICKED UP" a purple retainer case from the room he was in My Husband shows me the text. First of all for this to be a professional Dentistry I wouldn't have text no patients asking them have they by chance picked up a purple retainer case from the room they were in. 2nd My Husband wasn't in the room he was in the lobby waiting on our Daughter to get done. My Daughter was in the room. 3rd Why would my Daughter pick up a retainer case that she doesn't need. She came there to get her teeth cleaned not to get retainers or a retainer container. 4th This let's me know that you didn't thoroughly clean the exam room before my Daughter went in the room. I am not only offended by the text you sent my Husband it's like you accused my Daughter of stealing. My Daughter doesn't have braces or wear retainers why would she need a retainer case. When a person picks up things that don't belong to them that is called theft & we don't steal. We are hard working African American citizens, yes hard working we work for everything we have. If your establishment doesn't want African Americans visiting your establishment why don't you put a White's Only sign on the door as well as on Google since that is how my Husband found this Dentistry. I promise you we will take our business elsewhere. Who ever sent the text from Martin Dentistry you should have sent a mass text to all the patients that visited today and asked them have the by chance picked up a purple retainer case that would have been more appropriate or better yet ASKED if they have by chance SAW a purple retainer case.
Hi, Dr. Kyle here.
Thank you for sharing your concerns. I also appreciate the opportunity to speak with your husband directly, and I’m glad we were able to connect.
The item referenced in the text was a personal item belonging to me that had been misplaced in a treatment room earlier in the day. Our team reached out simply to ask whether it may have been seen or accidentally taken. We contacted all patients who were treated that afternoon to ensure we were thorough. At no point was there any intention to accuse anyone of wrongdoing.
I sincerely regret that the wording of the message felt upsetting. That was not our intent. We are committed to treating every patient and family with respect, professionalism, and fairness.
If there is anything further you’d like to discuss, I am always available to speak personally.
— Dr. Kyle
Experiencia fantástica: Such a Wonderful group of people! Thank you Krista and Dr. J for a great experience ( how often do you hear that for a dental visit)! I feel so lucky to be part of their “ family : ~ )!
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent !!! Service was second to none ! Dr. Steve Martin is a solid professional !
Experiencia fantástica: They are the best dentists I've ever had. Very thorough and everyone is so nice.
Experiencia fantástica: On time, no sitting around waiting. Very thorough cleaning and helpful, knowledgeable answers to questions.
Experiencia fantástica: We always get exceptional care at Martin Family Dentists.
Experiencia fantástica: Jeff’s the man, great office!
Experiencia fantástica: Very organized and friendly
Experiencia fantástica: After approximately 10-11 years without seeing a dentist, I had terrible anxiety and was really afraid to see a dentist. Dr. Jeffrey Martin and his assistant were extremely kind, patient and understanding. They walked me through my fillings and scaling with grace and let me keep my autonomy. They checked in constantly to see how I was feeling and took their time. The night before my dental work I was having panic attacks. About 25 minutes into my appointment, I was at ease and my anxiety was completely gone. I’d highly recommend this dental office. You’re more than just a box to check/name on a list here.
Experiencia fantástica: Had my first visit and words can’t describe how wonderful Dr Philip and Krista L were. Great attention and so nice. Explain everything that was going on with my teeth. Thank you!
Experiencia fantástica: Great service and cordial.
Experiencia fantástica: It’s always such a pleasant experience visiting Martin Dentist. The front desk staff are very helpful and extremely knowledgeable I always feel welcome.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Phil and his entite staff are A+++++++
Kathy,
Thanks for your positive feedback!
Experiencia negativa: I personally didn’t have a good experience. Painful cleaning; after going to a new dentist I realize they gave me a deep cleaning without local anesthesia which may be why it was so painful. Took a year to get a follow-up procedure because they dragged their feet on collecting insurance information. Also, never got a referral; I understand Invisalign wouldn’t work since I needed extra help, but they never gave me info. They were more interested in making me have surgery and when I declined, they stopped caring. I switch this year to a different dentist, and they’ve been great! I wouldn’t recommend unless you need minimal work.
Experiencia fantástica: Great family owned dentist. They’re very personable and thorough. They took awesome care and even didn’t charge for a filling because it wasn’t needed after all! I also had two big stains on my front teeth that they took off during the cleaning. Super thankful! God Bless you all.
Experiencia fantástica: Very pleasant staff and Dr. Allan always makes suggestions for the best results of his patients.
Experiencia fantástica: Best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist! From the moment I walked in, everyone was kind and personable. I really appreciated how they took the time to explain everything to me not just what they were doing, but why they were doing it. It made me feel comfortable and informed the whole time. The youngest brother was my dentist, and he was both funny and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the visit feel relaxed and even enjoyable (which I never thought I’d say about going to the dentist!). Highly recommend this office to anyone looking for great care and a great atmosphere.
Experiencia fantástica: Awesome Dentists and Facility. I have been with Martin Dentistry for years. The office staff is Wonderful! Dentists are great.
Experiencia negativa: I have been going here for over 20 years but I will never recommend this business to anyone. They did not call me to inform me about some appointment, but sent me a $90 bill for missed appointment. I called immediately to ask them to remove this $90 charge for services not provided but I was told by someone who lacked empathy and understanding, to spend over $500 for teeth cleaning and other services so that they can remove this $90 missed appointment fee even though there was 0 message or information about this appointment that never was scheduled. I mean greed should have limits. If these guys are not considerate towards their 20 year old customers (for a dubious missed appointment about which they never called) you can imagine, how profit minded they are, and less caring about actually providing service and helping people. In the past 20 years, I have always paid them cash and the premium prices for the services provided, and to be treated like this goes to show that businesses have lost integrity and heart. There used to be a time when businesses had integrity and were respectful towards their customers and were taking money for the services provided. But long gone are such times, now we have businesses leaching people by any and all means, even if it means charging for the services not provided. UPDATE: They responded saying they sent plenty of reminders. If that was true, how is it possible for a customer to ignore the reminders and then wait to contest the bill for the missed appointment? No one in their right mind would do that. Customers would choose cancel after receiving such reminders and in my case there were NO reminders. They did not send me any because perhaps they thought that I would cancel them otherwise. Receiving a bill for the services not provided is only possible when there is total lack of reminders for an appointment that was scheduled without customer's awareness due to them scheduling this automatically. I mean, think about it. How convenient this is for businesses to auto schedule appointments and claim that they sent reminders, and then bill customers for services not provided. Greed is another word for this.
We, like most dental offices, have a policy that charges for missed appointments or
extremely late cancellations. This policy is explained in our initial and periodic documents.
After reading, all patients must sign off before being seen. That being said, we are very
lenient with the application of the missed/late cancellation fee charge and frequently
remove the charge when appropriate. That is not the case with what I would call, serial
offenders.
Knowing that some of our appointments are made far in advance, and that some people
neglect to record their appointments, we do employ a service that sends text reminders (or
voice reminders to those who do not text), to a patient’s listed phone number of record.
These reminders are documented (i.e. we get a list) by the service and are sent at intervals
of 2 weeks before the scheduled appointment, again at 1 week, again at 3-4 days, and
again the day of. For those that find the numerous reminders annoying, the frequency of
the reminders can be modified at the patient’s request. Their purpose is to jog one’s
memory, and to provide ample time to cancel if necessary. The hope is that accusations of
“dubious” appointments can be avoided.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Martin and the entire staff at Martin Family Dentistry are 5 stars! Thank you!
Experiencia fantástica: The doctors, hygienists, techs & support staff are fantastic. This practice is the one all practices should emulate.
Experiencia fantástica: They take great care of your teeth! Been going Martin Family Denistry my whole life.
Experiencia fantástica: Made going to the dentist enjoyable.
Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful staff, excellent service and Dr Jeff Martin did a fantastic job.
Experiencia fantástica: Staff is so kind and friendly. I’ve been going here for years and it’s always top tier service
Experiencia fantástica: My family and I have been going here for several years. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The work I've had done has been great. I highly recommend them.
Experiencia fantástica: I wanted to express my sincere thanks for the excellent care I received during my recent visit. DrJeff and his staff was friendly and helpful and I appreciated the help of my treatment. Thank you so much for providing such positive experience.
Experiencia fantástica: A very pleasant experience from scheduling my appointment (Linda was very patient and went above and beyond to help me with my insurance questions.) to my first office visit. Dr. Jeff and his staff were all very professional and friendly. Dr. Jeff spent a great deal of time with me explaining what he was going to do and why. I’ve been going to the dentist for many years and this is the first time a dentist has ever asked me if I would like to know what the information they were recording about my exam actually meant. I highly recommend Dr. Jeff and Martin Family Dentistry.
Experiencia fantástica: My first visit with Martin Family Dentistry today and everyone was very professional, pleasant and made me feel very comfortable. Dr Phil gave me a very thorough check up and dental hygienists were amazing and gentle. Thank you to the front staff for making check in and check out a smooth transition.
Experiencia fantástica: Always friendly and thorough. Yes I would recommend.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr Steve working to try to fix an issue with my bite. He is on a mission!
Experiencia fantástica: Both times I've been in, everyone was very sociable and friendly. They actually care about your dental health instead of just forcing things on you without explanation. They also make sure you're comfortable with the entire process. They were very gentle both times I've had my scaling procedures done, and even helped me understand why i was still having tartar build up even though i water pick regularly. Extra brownie points because they stayed open for me the other day for my appointment while it was snowing badly. It's not easy for me to reschedule my PTO so that meant a lot for them to do that.
Experiencia fantástica: I am visiting from out of town and had a mini dental emergency. They were able to get me in quick and remedy my issue. I so appreciate that and how welcoming they were.
Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful, honest, knowledgeable dentists! Easy to schedule, responsive after hours in emergency situations, and very accommodating. I've been coming here for years and all of the providers here are excellent.
Experiencia fantástica: Been going to Martin family dentistry for years. I've seen all of their dentist they are all good at their job and genuinely nice.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Steve is so professional. They all make me feel welcome. Dr Phil is also amazing. He made me feel comfortable. Thank you!!.
Experiencia positiva: Dr is very kind and explains everything he is doing.
Experiencia fantástica: It was great to be back at Martin Dentistry and be taken care of by Steve and others.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Jeffrey Martin and staff made my dental experience very pleasant. Great work in a very professional setting. Ten stars!
Doug,
Thanks so much for sharing your experience! Hearing that made our day. We're shooting for ten stars every time!
Experiencia fantástica: So far, it’s been a good experience. I don’t particularly like going to the dentist and I’m sure there will be a couple of visits that will not be very pleasant for me. It appears that they tried to make it work for everybody.
Neal,
It's our goal to make the dentist's office a place you don't mind going to! Thanks for the review
Experiencia fantástica: Martin Family Dental is wonderful. Everyone is friendly and kind, the banter is hilarious and they know what they are doing. So, if I have to go to the dentist, it’s a nice place to go!
Christine,
Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to leave us this kind review! We greatly appreciate it
Experiencia fantástica: Laurie, Dr Phil, Linda, Betsy and the rest of the staff are awesome. Highly recommend them if you’re interested in a great crew in Shawnee.
Experiencia fantástica: Love this dentistry. And that’s not easy to say…. dentists… But this one is more about your teeth and gum health than trying to find something to bill you for. Great people. Tons of integrity.
Experiencia fantástica: Called at 9 a.m. and said I have an achy tooth. Dr. Phil dad an opening at 11:40, after an X-ray it was determined that an extraction was necessary, and I was back home before 1:30. I appreciate the fast response and went well.
Experiencia negativa: I ALWAYS enjoy interacting with the front desk receptionists at Dr. Martin Family Dentistry! I just wish Dr. Phil was insightful to me during my teeth cleanings. I get the impression from him and his hygenists that I do not take great care of my teeth each time I walk in to get my cleanings done. But, I always do my best brushing and flossing every single morning and every single night. I will continue to do so to feel like my oral health matters to them!
Hey Dylan,
Without a doubt, there a bunch of things that go into keeping great care of one's teeth. If you'd like, I'd be more than willing to schedule some time to go over the techniques that we've found work the best! -Dr. Jeff
Experiencia fantástica: Very good dentists, assistants and hygienist. Front desk very helpful, and they nearly always run on time. It’s a family practice.
Experiencia fantástica: Professional, courteous and informative. Always a pleasant bit.
Experiencia fantástica: Best dentist office friendly people on time appointment s cleaned dentist office I will stay with this dentist office nice Understanding will work with you
Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Martin Family Dentistry. The dentists and hygienists are knowledgeable and kind.
Experiencia fantástica: When I say I look forward to my cleanings, I mean it! I recommend this office to all my coworkers. The whole staff are so fun, kind, and serious about helping you improve your dental health! (P.s. tell Taylor it took me 4 tries but I can successfully use a waterpik without drowning myself or my bathroom now)
Experiencia fantástica: Always a pleasant experience visiting Martin Family Dentistry from the time you walk in to the time walking out. Everyone is easy to talk with, good listeners, provides options and advice to provide what’s best for my dental health.
Experiencia fantástica: Recently went in after finally deciding to take care of my teeth and they were truly amazing I love them will continue to come here ❤️ thank u for all the help and kindness
Experiencia fantástica: Staff is always very personable. Makes the experience so much better! They really take good care of you!
Thanks Tiffany!
Experiencia fantástica: Martin Family Dentistry and staff are always friendly and do excellent work. I am always comfortable there and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking dental care.
Experiencia fantástica: I have been using this dentist's office since I was a child. They are still family owned and make you so comfortable regardless of what procedure you are having done. I would recommend them to anyone that appreciates a personal touch along with professionalism!
Derek,
Thanks for your trust and support!
Experiencia fantástica: Thank you for working me in today to get my tooth fixed when the sealant came out. The staff and Dr Phil were AMAZING and I look forward to coming back to get my teeth cleaned in a few weeks.
Experiencia fantástica: They care about my teeth. I've always hated going to the dentist and due to this, my teeth weren't in the best shape. And I finally broke down and went after years of not seeing anyone. They fixed ALL of my insecurities. I'm not embarrassed to smile now. My teeth will never be perfectly straight or white but the world of difference I can see nearly brings me to tears. And I had to have a molar drilled in for quite a while, as well. The dentist and the dental assistant made sure I was comfortable, talked me through any possibilities of pain, reassured me of everything, and gave me great advice for the future. I was so comfortable during the drilling that I could have slept, honestly. It's the best dentist experience I ever had. And I'm not afraid to go anymore. I'll be more comfortable going in every 6 months or so for cleanings and keeping my teeth in better shape. I highly recommend this place, and I'm so glad I chose this place as my new dentist office when I moved here. And the front desk assistant remembered me from weeks prior. It instantly has felt like a dentist home. Dr. Jeffrey Martin is my dentist. Kassie (sp? Girl, I'm sorry I forgot how to spell it) is the dental assistant. Excellent experiences so far.
Kasey,
Thank you for your kind words. As a family business, we greatly appreciate your review!
Experiencia fantástica: I love this practice and all the doctors, hygienists and staff. I've been a client here over 30 years & wouldn't go anywhere else. They are truly the best.
Cindy,
Thanks for sticking with us!
Experiencia fantástica: Very professional and kind. Karen Iverson
Experiencia fantástica: I already had the pleasure of meeting all the doctors and the staff are always fantastic. I've been coming here for 8 years, and have had everything from a basic cleanings, fillings and extractions. I've never had a bad experience. Highly recommend!
Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful experience as always! Dr. Steve Martin explained what was going on and got me all fixed up! Thankful to have such a great group of dentists and their staff to take such great care of patients.
Experiencia fantástica: Great office and staff
Experiencia fantástica: Everyone at Martin Family Dentistry are incredible.
Experiencia fantástica: They got me in for an emergency visit and I was very pleased with the plan for saving my tooth.
Experiencia fantástica: Such a pleasant experience at the Martin Family Dentist office. Staff was extremely helpful, patient and knowledgeable. Just moved to KS and I’m so happy to have found my new primary dentist.
Experiencia fantástica: This office has been my dental office since being a kid. The Doctors are all knowledgeable and they have a great team atmosphere. They just added a new dentist to the mix and I am very pleased with the addition and keeping with the team atmosphere that is patient forward!
Experiencia fantástica: My wife had her wisdom teeth taken out today and the dentist called her after hours just to check on her! Great bedside manner and great personal touch. I’ve had very good experiences here myself and would recommend this practice to anyone.
Experiencia fantástica: I’m always pleased with this practice. No matter which of the Dr. Martins you get, or which of the dental hygienists, its always a positive atmosphere with exceptional, professional and kind service.
Experiencia fantástica: Amazing!! Thorough!! And very prompt. Loved my experience!!
Experiencia fantástica: My smile saver! I have nothing but good to say about this clinic. I went to see another clinic in the area to have my crown re-cemented but that other clinic suggested that I get an implant right away which is too much when I just wanted my crown re-attached. So Im so happy that I went to Dr Martins Clinic instead, Dr Phillip is so experienced and helped me quickly. They fixed my concern at an affordable cost! The receptionists are also friendly, they explained well to me the process and payment options available. They are indeed a gem in Shawnee!
Experiencia fantástica: Very professional people and explain to you what you need to have done and a very comfortable experience and very nice friendly people
Experiencia fantástica: Attentive, friendly and timely.
Experiencia fantástica: A great experience as usual. Such a friendly group and caring doctors. Love this practice!
Experiencia fantástica: Always a great experience with the dentists, hygienists, and office staff when I need to make a visit.
Experiencia fantástica: The staff here is great. I had a challenging tooth that needed to be extracted. I recommend Dr. Phillip. He cares about his patients.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr, Jeffrey and the staff are so amazing!! Cassie always takes the best care of me - I make sure to always ask for her. She’s so gentle with both me and my boys. My boys used to have serious anxiety regarding the dentist. No more!
Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was very nice and conversational. Dr. Martin put me right at ease although I usually get high anxiety at dentist offices. I look forward to using this office for future appointments!
Experiencia fantástica: This truly is a family dentistry! My whole family goes here, we love this place.
Experiencia fantástica: There is no way to say enough positive things about this place from their office staff, to assistants to the dentists. Very knowledgeable and kind and understanding. Having three root canals in a year has been rough and Dr. Jeffrey, Dr. Steve, Cassie and the entire staff made the process manageable and always made time to take care of me during my dental emergencies. You can always count on these people to take care of their patients!
Kara, thank you for your feedback! As a small family practice, we truly appreciate it.
Experiencia negativa: Update: They actually cracked my tooth which resulted in a crown. Potentially will have to have it completely extracted if I am still in pain because the crack would be at the roots. This also means I get to pay for an implant. They also call you after they see your review to “see if everything is ok” then proceed to tell you that maybe you just have sensitive teeth. Nope, you broke it sir and I hope you see this updated review as well! I hate to post this because I truly like the dental hygienists here. Unfortunately I have had a second cavity filled here which looks like will result in another root canal. I am dumbfounded that according to the dentist “the small cavity” has turned into more cost for me to get a root canal. I have had cavities filled at a previous facility before Martin Family and never had one result in a root canal. At this point I will be seeking services else where as I am tired of being in pain after a pretty simple dental procedure.
No one likes to be told that they need a root canal or that the tooth has cracked. That is never the intent of any dentist when providing treatment. Because HIPPA laws were so expertly crafted by attorneys masquerading as legislators, I am unable to acknowledge whether you have ever been present in our office. You may make statements affirming your presence in our office, but do not construe the following list as an acknowledgement. I am choosing to provide an educational experience to all who will read my reply, by making what most would consider, applicable, universal dental truths, without getting too technical.
1. Sometimes teeth just behave badly. Traumatized teeth behave badly more often.
2. Teeth are traumatized by many things. Years of chewing or traumatic chewing (like bruxing), decay, injury, fillings, crowns, and other things. Fillings and crowns would be considered necessary trauma, much like surgery to fix a broken leg. It is necessary because allowing decay to progress would cause more problems.
3. Teeth are living structures containing blood vessel and nerve tissue that connect with the rest of the body via their canals. It is desirable to maintain that living tissue. The blood supply plays an important part in the pulps health and ability to recover from trauma.
4. Small cavities inflict less trauma. Deep and/or repetitious cavities result in more trauma and are more likely to cause a problem because of their proximity and effect on the pulp.
5. Duration and severity of trauma, leads to internal changes in the tooth, changes that impinge on the blood supply entering the tooth. Severe trauma can cause inflammation, which cuts the blood supply even more.
6. A young, virgin, untraumatized tooth with a small cavity, is unlikely to have a significant problem. Sometime, a tooth like this can be more sensitive after a new filling. Why? Good blood supply, plenty of nerve tissue, and the fluid dynamics that occur in dentin. We try to minimize this sensitivity, but as stated above, sometimes teeth just behave badly. Commonly, time will improve the sensitivity. (See #3 above). In any event, there are things that can be done to improve the situation, if we are given the chance.
7. Older, more traumatized teeth with deeper decay or a recurrence of decay (which usually ends up deeper) are more likely to have a problem. It’s a matter of, how deep is the decay, how much has the tooth changed inside, and how good is the blood supply. Fillings are placed because we like to give the tooth a chance, if pulp death isn’t obvious. Sometimes it doesn’t work out.
8. Cracks can occur in teeth. Cracks are usually the result of some pre-existing weakness in the tooth. Prior trauma inflicts weakness. Some treatment requires application of a moderate amount of necessary force. Sometimes the application of that necessary force can crack or break weakened tooth structure. We are not trying to do that. It just happens. (Just as when chewing, you are not trying to break a tooth, but sometimes it happens.}
To all who read this, I sincerely thank you for your attention and consideration of the “dental truths” listed above. There are more things I could say, but this statement has gone on long enough.
Experiencia fantástica: All the Martin brothers are great, and I simply love my new dental hygienist, Taylor. Great staff in the office. They are all just like family.
Experiencia fantástica: Great experience. It was relatively easy to get an appointment and they took good care of me. I will be going here for years to come.
Will,
Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave us a review!
Experiencia negativa: My father came home bothered today because of the way he heard the doctor yelling at his nurse. I hope this isn’t a daily occurrence. Hopefully, he was just having a bad day.
