This year I decided that I would finally take the initiative to take care of my dental health. Up until now I had never been to the dentist. I was extremely self conscious and a little nervous to go. The team at Stonewall Dental Associates really made me feel comfortable. I got to meet with a large portion of the staff during my visit. After a warm welcome from reception, I was quickly introduced to the dental assistant, Fran. Fran did an amazing job making me feel comfortable immediately. She reviewed my teeth and assisted me with getting some x-rays. Throughout the entire process she was very kind and even provided insight into the common dental procedures that I was not familiar with. Following this I was introduced to Lauren, another dental assistant, and Jill, the dental hygienist. Lauren's presence in the room made the environment very light hearted. She was extremely friendly and made me feel like I was amongst friends. My time with Dr. Z was shorter than the time I spent with the other staff but I really appreciated her straight forward approach. She explained what problems I had and what I needed to do to correct them. Towards the end of my visit Lauren took the time to sit down with me and explain, in detail, what procedures I needed and what to expect from them. I was only scheduled for a checkup, but as I was headed home Jill reached out to me and offered to do my cleaning the same day. Even if the entire visit had been horrible prior to this call, this gesture alone would've made my day. Jill did an outstanding job with cleaning my teeth. I did not know what to expect from my first cleaning but it was surprisingly pleasant. Jill took the time to explain each step of the process to me. She even took additional time to show me some techniques to maintain clean teeth. Overall my experience at Stonewall Dental Associates was amazing. Up until now I had been feeling extremely anxious about visiting the dentist. I was expecting to feel guilt or shame for not seeing a dentist sooner, but everyone made me feel like I made the right decision to come. They were all very supportive and reassuring!
