Have you ever felt that sinking sensation when it was time to get a dental exam? We’ve all experienced it. Let me share with you my experience at a Downey dentist that completely changed my outlook. Discover the innovative treatments at Aesthetic Dentistry Nicholas George.
The clinic was a place I entered with sweaty hands and racing heart. It was so warmly welcomed by the receptionist that I forgot my reason for being there. The experience was more like a visit to an old friend than a doctor’s appointment. It was like they knew how to make everyone comfortable, and that is the half of winning if I may say.
It was not the usual sterile and cold waiting area. The waiting room had soft lighting and cozy chairs. There was even a coffee station. As I sat in the comfortable seats and read an old magazine, I grabbed my cup of coffee. My name was soon called.
Dr. Martinez entered the room with a smile bright enough to light Times Square. While he prepared his tools, he didn’t wear a white coat. He talked about the barbecue he had on his weekends. He asked, casually as he put on his gloves: “So what brought you here today?”
Well, I began nervously. “I might have a tooth cavity.”
He said, “Let us take a closer look.”
He leaned me back and began to use the tiny mirror thingy and pick thingy. The fact that he explained everything in simple English, without any jargon was refreshing. After a few moments, he replied: “It looks like you are right.” But don’t be worried; we will fix it as good as new.
It was quick and easy. The small talk continued throughout the procedure. Dr. Martinez asked about my favourite movies and shared funny stories from his office. It was all over in no time.
He said, “You are all done!” as he took off his gloves.
While I was still a little dazed by how simple it seemed, Dr. Martinez gave me a small mirror so that I could inspect his work. No drilling or filling was visible on my tooth!
Wow! I was truly impressed.
The man grinned at me and gave some advice on how to take care of it afterwards. It didn’t seem like rocket science this time.
It was like burying a fear that I had from other bad dental experiences.
Let’s now talk about logistics, because who doesn’t like some practical information? The tech is just as impressive! What about digital x-rays, then? Check! Laser dentistry? Double-check! They know exactly how to deal with insurance paperwork, without making you lose your mind!
Also, they offer a flexible schedule which is great if you are juggling family or work commitments. Want to get up early in the morning before going off to work or school? It’s no problem! You can choose to arrive late in the evening after a long day of rush hour traffic. You’re in good hands!
Their hygienists really are gems. They make sure to clean every crevice and nook without making your mouth look like Niagara Falls.
Last but not least, cost transparency (well, maybe not literally. But you know what I mean). There are no hidden charges waiting around the corner to prey on unwary patients!
Next time you hear someone in the Downey, CA area mention that they need dental treatment, don’t be afraid to bring up Dr.Martinez. You’ll get brownie points from those people who hate dentist appointments more than speaking engagements.
Finally… scratch that… go and see them now, will you? !
