Coming to the dentist in the past was not a pleasant experience for me, and so I neglected it at times when I should not have. And when it became apparent that I needed to find a dentist, a new dentist after my other dentist retired, I began to do some research and discovered Newman Springs. The moment that I walked in, I felt welcomed, valued, and important enough for people to take time to care about what I needed to have done in terms of my dental care.

It wasn’t so much my smile as it was the need to reconstruct my back teeth so that I would feel comfortable in eating or feel more confident. That just seemed like a simple solution for the folks here in this office, and they did it in such a timely fashion. And since the major work, which was done over 10 years ago, I really haven’t had any other issues other than just having my regular checkups and cleaning.

And I will say that what I also value is that at one point during that time frame, on a Sunday afternoon, I had an issue. And so I just put a call into the office and asked if I could be worked in on Monday to have it looked at. I had some concerns. It wasn’t more than 10 or 15 minutes later that I received a phone call, and not only the dentist but a dental assistant met me in the office on a Sunday afternoon so that I wouldn’t have to worry about it. That’s above and beyond what I ever expected that would happen, but it’s just everyday practice here. You matter.

I drive an hour to come here even though I have now moved further south because the competency, the friendliness, the care, and the concern matters to me, and they’ve become like family. So I come back to check up on them as they check up on me, and it’s now a pleasant experience, and I very much enjoy coming to check in, as well as take care of my own health.

I’ve had temporary bridges. I’ve had permanent bridges. I have real teeth. A couple of the implants that I just did were put in specifically to protect other teeth, and I got back teeth that I’ve not had in many, many years, which is really comforting for me and it gives me a solid base to chew on.

It gives you the confidence to be able to smile. It’s life-changing. Once again, I don’t have enough good to say about implants. The care of the staff and the sensitivity. I’m one of those people that… I was in serious pain, and I wouldn’t go see a dentist because I didn’t want to deal with the embarrassment. I would cover my face. You couldn’t go into a conference room and be comfortable, because you couldn’t smile. The sedation, for me, was huge, and then the implants and the overall just being able to smile and walk into a room with a confidence that I don’t have to hide.

The staff here makes this all very easy and comfortable. You will never be in pain or be embarrassed from when you walk through that door. They’re just here to help you.

Interviewer: Okay. You had Invisalign done here. How was your experience in the office?
Interviewee: My experience was great. Jen was the best. One time, I couldn’t get my Invisalign in and I came here late and they put it in for me. I was surprised at how nobody could tell I had braces on. And it went really fast.

Interviewer: And would you tell other people about it?

Interviewee: Yes, because one of my friends has braces on for three years and it was unnecessary. Yes, I would tell my friends.

Interviewer: Thank you so much.

Speaker 1: All right, so we have Allison here, and before she was a bit apprehensive for her cleaning because she’s had some experiences in the past, when had an implant done. Not here, but just some incidences. We just wanted to see now that you’ve had nitrous for your cleaning.

Allison: Yep.

Speaker 1: How was your visit today?

Allison: My visit today was the best cleaning I’ve ever had. I was always neurotic about cleaning and my teeth, and today I didn’t feel a thing. It was amazing, and I will always do it again.

Speaker 1: Excellent, thank you so much.

Allison: You were fabulous.

Speaker 1: Ah, thank you.

Allison: I didn’t even feel it. I didn’t know it went by.

Speaker 1: Thank you.

Allison: Excellent.

Speaker 1: Thank you so much.

Allison: I can’t wait until my next one.

Speaker 1: Thank you. We can’t wait too.

Allison: Thank you.

Speaker 1: It was a pleasure taking care of you, Allison.

Allison: Thank you so much.

Speaker 1: Sure.

Allison: Thank you. I can’t tell you how much this was a pleasure.

It was fabulous. I had the Invisalign for about a year and a half. I found myself looking forward about every two weeks of getting a new set of trays because I knew I was getting just that much closer to having all of my teeth straightened. I started with incredibly crooked bottom teeth. I wasn’t concerned as much with the appearance of my teeth, but more with the longevity of my teeth and not running into problems later in life. What I was left with was a fantastic set of very, very straight teeth. It was a great process. The staff here at Newman Springs is fantastic. I had a great experience. It was wonderful.

I love coming to this practice, just because of the general care and concern of the staff, their sensitivity to everybody. I was very afraid of dentists and dental care, and as soon as you come here, all that’s gone. Quality of care here is just exceptional, both the care and the people. Besides the exceptional care, they stand behind their work. So, going forward, you never have any issue that you need to worry about. I’m a huge advocate of sedation dentistry. It’s life changing for many people, like myself. I just… I can’t imagine doing anything else. The staff here at Newman Springs, I have total faith in them. I can’t imagine not having a staff that I didn’t have complete faith in. You see TV commercials for all these less expensive solutions and all of that. And I am completely comfortable with the care that I get here. And I’m confident that what these people do is the best that can be found.

Speaker 1: Amadu, tell us a little bit about your visit yesterday.

Amadu: My visit yesterday was very impressive. After everything had been done, I was just a bit hesitant when I came in, but I didn’t know the procedure. I will say, it was marvelous. Went off, no pain, only I was drowsy. That’s the only thing. I went to sleep and I woke up, I could not believe how many teeth he took out of my mouth without a mouth full of pain, even this morning. I was really impressed.

Speaker 1: Would you recommend sedation for other patients?

Amadu: Wonderful, more like 100%, I will.

Speaker 1: Okay, thank you.

Speaker 1: Yeah. Can you tell me a little bit about your visit here?

Speaker 2: Yes, I came to see Dr. Freeman, I suppose about three months ago and I came here as a result of a call to 1-800-DENTIST. And I was quite surprised, frankly when I came here, that usually the dentists are very, either standoffish or they’re very quick to take a look at something and get it done and get you out. Here, I felt very comfortable about the way it was handled and the customer service end of it. And I think that the analysis that was done on my particular, all of my dental problems I guess, was not only complete and thorough, but I think it was done in an atmosphere that didn’t make me feel like I had to go get dental work done right away, or I was in terror.

And so I think probably from the beginning to the end, the way that everything was handled here, was done in a very professional manner, and I made me feel very comfortable. I was very hesitant to come to a dentist, as most people are, but I think after one or two visits here and some of the work that was done and seeing what happened to me, I felt very good about it. And I think that I would recommend it to anyone to give it a try.

Well, I started coming here about two years ago, I think. And I had been really insecure about my smile. The people here were super warm, friendly, welcoming, and they kept making me feel like I was just in this really positive process of correcting my smile. And I don’t know, I just always felt welcome.

My former dentist, I guess the practice was just, you go in and get a cleaning dentist. It just felt very doctor-patient, but here really the vibe is so much friendlier. I feel like with Dr. Menon, we can just like talk and it’s super warm and funny. And I appreciate the vibes of this office. Everybody has been really diligent and receptive to feedback and it felt like as a team to get my smile corrected. I actually got my parents to come here after I started coming here because I described my experience with Dr. Menon that it really feels so friendly when I sit down.

I feel like we could just be honest talking back and forth, which I think is so important between a doctor and a patient, the professionalism and the convenience. So I had to get a crown and as I was getting the work done, they’re sitting there printing up my crown in office same day, and there’s nothing more convenient than that.

And I just think that that’s a really convenient service to offer to anybody that you don’t have to wait for some other people to develop a tooth to put it on your mouth. There can be a lot of hesitancy with seeing medical professionals in general, not just dentists, medical doctors as well. And having someone you feel like you can speak to openly, honestly is so important to get accurate medical care. And she makes the process really easy that we can just have an open dialogue in order to get whatever you need in your mouth fixed. And she makes it a very nonjudgmental environment.

Coming here, Dr. Menon and staff made me feel extremely comfortable, like we were friends. From moment I sat down with the chair for my consultation. Coming here with Dr. Menon and staff made me feel like we were more than patient and doctor, we became friends. Quick, courteous service, updated state of the art medical equipment. The fact that even after my procedure and they called me at home to check on me. If I had any questions, I could usually call the doctor and I was quickly made an appointment to come in for any follow-up I had. Post-op was important.

It was a part of the, I think, the routine maintenance of my teeth where they take the pictures and do the, where they slide something in, I think, and we got to that tooth, and I think there was bone loss probably due to aging.

Bone loss had to be stopped. I’m not going to explain this as well as the doctor could, but basically, they had to take the tooth out and put in a bone graft, and that was six or seven months ago. So that was accomplished, and we’re still in the middle of that process because now that the bone graft is complete, the, I guess it’s called a stud or something, it was put in maybe a week ago. Once that takes probably another six months, then the cap or the tooth, replacement tooth is put in place, that’s what we’re in the middle of right now.

I’m just glad there’s no test afterwards because I can only absorb so much of the information. They make sure you understand everything. There’s no magic. They manage to break it down, and let you know everything that you’re doing. Now we’re back to trust when they explain it to that level, you almost feel like you know what they’re doing.

I had my veneers done about 30 years ago. And I knew that they were starting to not look so great. But I also knew that it was a process to redo them. And I was kind of hemming and hawing. And I would come into the office, and Dr. Menon would sit with me. And she would say, “You know, I really love doing this. I’m good at doing this. I can make your smile look even better.” After a while, as I became more comfortable with Dr. Menon and all the staff, I said, “Let’s just do this.” You know, I’ve been coming to get my teeth cleaned every six months, but when you come in for veneers, you’re coming in for some more appointments. And that’s where I really got to know the staff very well. Veneers take about three appointments overall. And by the time I had my third appointment, I was really ready to say good-bye to my old veneers and welcome the new ones. And when I looked in the mirror, I couldn’t have been happier with my smile. I was really pleased with Jen, who did the veneers, and Dr. Menon. And they really treat me like family. If you’re considering getting anything done cosmetic, I highly recommend Newman Springs Dental Care. They’ll make you feel comfortable, and you’ll walk out feeling even better and more confident.

I started coming here several years ago as a very apprehensive patient. I actually had fear or anxiety for dental work and the whole process of dentistry. Initially, I was sedated as a patient, because they offer sedation here. Over time, I’ve gotten to know Dr. Menon, I trust them. They’re very compassionate and very understanding. They’re very kind. Through the years that I’ve been coming here, I’ve actually, at this point, I’ve had all this dental work done now without sedation and I feel completely comfortable. And I trust them immensely, I think they’re fantastic here.
