Thank you for sharing this! This is exactly what I meant. But, there were NO SIGNS that the right lane (of the 3 on 95) ends suddenly beofre the 64 merge, unless I missed it/them. Has anyone been through to confirm there isn't a sign? I got on 95 from the Chamberlayne exit-maybe there are signs before then? Or I just missed them? I know it's a new traffic pattern, but that's especially when a sign is needed.

Yes, their treatment rooms and chairs are really nice! I would much rather my dentist have a basic waiting room and not push for extra services or overcharge than have a fancy spa-like look. Just put it out there because the first impression can be that it's not up to date, but it's just the waiting room! Glad you had a good experience too.

I agree with Riverwind Dental! I had a lot of shame and fear about not going to the dentist for about 10 years because of dental anxiety. I was really, really nervous that I would need extensive dental work, and when I called I said I was very nervous and might need medication like Xanax to get through a cleaning. They listened to me and met with me, and I was able to come in for a cleaning with no judgment or shaming, and they told me I had a healthy mouth and no cavities or issues that I needed to return for. They could have totally taken advantage of me-if they said I had 10 cavities, I would have totally believed them.

Sherry is the hygienist I see, and she is the kindest person on earth and patient and gentle. She even sent me a gift card as a wedding present when she was out for shoulder surgery during my regular cleaning! I've been going there for about 8 years now and have had great experiences. Their office/waiting room isn't fancy or anything, but they are kind, honest, and will help you feel comfortable. Their main dentist did just retire, but the younger guy who took over is also very nice and told me I had some wear on my molars from grinding, but didn't use scare tactics and said an over the counter mouthguard could be a good idea.

Good luck in finding the place that works for you.
