What a seamless, perfect first impression! Reception is brightly lit, clean, and the receptionist is warm and knowledgeable. All of the standard forms are there, and the practice takes a pretty impressive variety of dental insurance plans. The X ray gear is some of the nicest I've seen, although fair warning the mouth bit isn't the most comfortable (just the nature of getting dental images, though). My hygienist, Joan, took excellent care to make me comfortable, adjusting and taking breaks as necessary while getting X rays, making polite conversation, and going over my dental needs (wisdom teeth were my big priority today) with a perfect balance of listening and then sharing what information would prepare me to talk with Dr. Cheung. Joan's cleaning was thorough but comfortable. The water pressure on the picks was almost laser-fine, which meant we were done sooner and with less feeling and splashing. Such a difference when a practice has the top of the line equipment! Joan let me know that they have a new fluoride treatment (not the foam with the mouth trays I got used to in my twenties) but that it's usually not covered by insurance; still, $40 for a fluoride treatment out of pocket was worth the investment to me, especially because I'm prone to cavities. I appreciated Joan being so up front about the cost and the benefits, and I know I made the right decision to get the treatment. Dr. Cheung gave a great consultation, very warm and reassuring, knowledgeable but approachable. He went over my X rays in depth and recommended a prompt referral to an oral surgeon he highly recommends in Poughkeepsie. He talked about the importance of flossing but not in a preachy way, but rather in the context of showing how it could help and talking about strategies to find time to floss once a day. Checkout was a breeze thanks to the awesome receptionist, and I left feeling confident about my teeth and the care I am in. Thanks to Pat Holden of The Red Hook Inn for recommending this great local business. Thanks, Premiere Dental!
