Before coming to Lake Mary Dental the first time, I had only one cavity in over 40 years and had always received high praise from my hygenists. Upon my first visit to Lake Mary Dental, a had to have the cavity redone and twice was ""upsold"" to more expensive debridement procedures before a ""regular"" cleaning would cut it. I cringed every time I went to the hygenist because she would chide me for not flossing daily. \r
\r
So,....I tried two other dental offices. One had archaic x-ray equipment, and I was forced to take uncomfortable numerous x-rays. The exams, dental work and cleanings were sub-par as well. I have had chronic tooth pain after a cavity I had filled that they have been unable to remedy.\r
\r
My husband went to the second dentist we chose. He had to get a cracked crown repaired and had some cavities filled that the new dentist found. The facilities were too small and understaffed, and the dentist was often distracted. On both visits, my husband was insufficiently numbed and experienced pain. \r
\r
Within one week my husband was able to get in to Lake Mary Dental and see Dr Lall. Upon his examination, Dr. Lall found one filling done just a week earlier had already cracked and the new crown had been placed over a cavity! With the use of extensive digital x-rays and by focusing a digital camera over the area during the exam, Dr. Lall was able to show my husband exactly what he was seeing. \r
\r
Both my husband and I will not be shopping for new dentists. We are now life-long patients of Lake Mary Dental. The office is well organized and well staffed. The equipment is state-of-the art, and exams from both the doctor and the hygenist are the most thorough you will ever receive. \r

By the way, when I see my new hygenist-- I will graciously accept his/her well-derserved condemnation when I don't floss every day like I should!
