Indira did an amazing job with my son and he literally had fun getting his teeth cleaned. Her & Dr. Hoover were both amazing with answering questions and letting us know where we could improve. Lauren was great scheduling us and helping with insurance. They got us back super quick & were so kind from start to finish. Everyone we saw here was amazing and I have nothing, but good to say😊

Always the BEST!! Anytime we need cleanings or an emergency! The entire staff is great. I need to add to my wife's post. . . She called them on Monday morning because we were leaving town Friday morning for 2 weeks No problem, we will see Bryan at 11 and my wife at 2. I started having severe pain in my jaw and up my head that I was sure was from a previous crown and root canal several years earlier. After x rays, Dr. Gabriel Tanaka said it was his opinion that it was my back left molar causing the pain. .

. . He offered me 2 options another root canal and crown which he couldn't guarantee would work or extract the tooth and my only root canal in my life took over 7 hours. I choose to extract because the tooth already had a heavy filling from numerous years ago. Heidi, said okay, we will do it now and I'm coming up with a valid excuse not now, she and Dr Tanaka said if you are going out of town for 2 weeks, this needs to be done. Not just Dr Tanaka but Heidi, said let's do it today, right now and I had to slam the brakes hard. Maybe tomorrow, Heidi said it will be tight but we can do it at 8:30 the next morning. My wife KNOWS very well and I don't set alarms but after about 5 more mins 3 times, I finally got to and went on my way. I can promise anyone that Oak Ridge lost money on getting my painful tooth out.

I can handle pain with the best, but the treatment provided to make it as smooth as possible was unparalleled by any professional ive been to. Heidi pretty much held me down, sweating, thirsty and just saying breathe and we are almost there. Everytime Dr Tanaka left my sight, I was thinking, thank goodness it's over. I could sense in both of these professionals, that this was not a "regular" tooth extraction but just cringed when Dr Tanaka told Heidi, "I need this now" and the tools being removed from packaging. What should have been an easy process from my research the night before, was not easy at all and they both seemed to make it like a walk in the park. Cudo to both of you for containing a grizzly bear and I'm fantastic 8 hours later. Thank you both.
