First I want to start with I am a huge ball of anxiety when it comes to dental work in general, like blood pressure is high, pulse high, will avoid at all costs! I was referred to Pure Oral surgery by Mint dentistry, for a tooth extraction x 2. One that had been recently bothering me and one that has been a source of anxiety for the last 5 years. I have had two other dentists attempt to remove that bothersome tooth and both unable to get it numb, due to a chronic infection and I’m sure the level of anxiety surrounding it. Today I arrived and was greeted by their receptionist who was friendly and pleasant, wait to be seen was minimal and started with the usual X-rays and an MRI so they could see what they were working with. Met with Dr.Carmichael who was amazing, made me feel informed about my choices for the two teeth that were bothering me as well as gave me options for having implants on down the line, he used science and evidence based practice to explain in a way I understood. Once back in the surgery seat it was all pretty simple. Last thing I remember is closing my eyes and taking a deep breath. Once finished I was wheeled out to my family and car, loaded with post op instructions and a bag of helpful supplies. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing extensive work done or just an anxiety ball that needs to be sedated to have the work done. If I could have given more than 5 stars I would have. Will be returning when I am healed and ready for the next steps of my treatment plan.
