I have gone to their office on walnut(same exact dentist-dr. eidleson).

They are very nice people. I don't really like the way he gives novacaine(sp.), but then again, what is good novacaine?

All in all they do a very thorough job. My wife loves them, but then again she has perfect teeth that only require a hello, checkup, and goodbye.

I forgot. The one cool thing is that they have a machine that makes your crowns in a few minutes, so only one trip is needed. The computer takes a picture of your mouth and out pops a perfect crown that hardly needs adjusted.

I have never been to that dentist/office, but since this thread is here I will put in a plug for my dentist who I find to be awesome: Dr. Boudreau on South between 17th and 18th. Always professional, always doing that little extra to get my teeth right and healthy, and never any problem with Novocaine.

Hope your teeth are ok, ms_ev!

Does he have the machine I described that makes crowns?

I love that machine. I hate novacaine needles. I like it when they wiggle your cheek and you can't feel the needle going in.

That machine sounds really cool, but no, I don't think he has one.

I no longer dread the novacaine needles. Since they numb you up first with that cherry flavored topical stuff, the pinch of the needle isn't that bad. And I'm with you on the "wiggling" - it also distracts me from visualizing the whole thing. Why does that needle have to be so freakin' big anyway?! Sheesh!
