Imagine Smiles

I went to Dr Green because I had a bad molar and I was hoping he could save it by doing a root canal. After he checked it out, he said it had to be removed. At the next appointment he went in and had it out in 20 minutes-and molars are pretty big. He was quick, accurate and thorough. Minimal pain.

Dr. Green's staff is great. They are always willing to work with me whether it's the front office or hygienists or assistants .
I'm a person who hates dental work and they all know it. They always make me feel comfortable.

I had a great experience with Dr. Green! He found things that other dentists and endodontists missed. When I brought these issues up with the earlier dentists and endodontists, they agreed that Dr. Green was correct and that they had missed the issues.

He is the most caring, compassionate dentist I have ever met. I hope to start treatment with him soon.

Second Review of Dr. Green

I recently saw Dr. Green and his very able assistant, Shari, for removal of two old crowns, removal of the mercury fillings underneath the crowns, replacement fillings, and replacement crowns. I also had an old root-canaled tooth, filled with mercury, extracted. I could not be more pleased with the treatment of these three teeth.

When removing mercury, it is important that the dentist take safety precautions to minimize the amount of mercury exposure to the patient. Before I met Dr. Green, I had another dentist remove a mercury filling. The appointment with Dentist 1 did not go well.

Dentist 1, like Dr. Green, is a member of the International Association of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). Dentist 1 used the precautions recommended by the IAOMT. This dentist, however, was less skilled than Dr. Green. Dentist 1’s nosepiece for the oxygen supply was a round hole. It did not fit my nose well. In addition, the amalgam ended up in my mouth for several seconds and I nearly swallowed it. I am certain between the ill-fitting nosepiece and the amalgam in my mouth, I got exposed to more mercury than necessary.

I was very ill after the appointment with Dentist 1. I had ataxia, a tremor, slurred speech and I could not understand what my friend was saying. I could not drive myself home. My friend had to drive.

I was terrified to continue with amalgam removal. Fortunately, after the appointment with Dentist 1, I met Dr. Green. In May, Dr. Green extracted two infected root -canaled teeth. I was pleased with the results. Despite my terror, I decided to have Dr. Green remove the remaining amalgams this June. I am so glad I trusted Dr. Green. It was a completely different experience.

To begin with, Dr. Green’s nosepiece for the oxygen supply is shaped like a nose. It felt comfortable and snug. Dr. Green and Shari let me position it for myself. This piece really minimized my exposure to mercury vapor.

Second, Dr. Green also caught both amalgams so that neither of them ended up in my mouth. I also had the third tooth with mercury extracted. Even though I had three teeth with amalgams treated that day, I left the office in the same condition I entered it. I had no tremor or ataxia. My speech was normal and I was coherent. I had arranged to have my friend drive me home but I could have driven myself. My driver remarked how much better I was after this amalgam removal.

Another advantage to seeing Dr. Green is that he manufactures his own crowns in most cases. I received my two crowns the same day. The crowns from Dr. Green are also superior to the ones I received from Dentist 1. Dr. Green’s crowns look and feel like real teeth. They are not flat. I really appreciated not having to come back two weeks later for placement of the crowns.

Furthermore, I really like that Dr. Green uses 3-dimensional X-rays. He was able to tell me what needed to be done for all three teeth before the old crowns were removed.

There are a lot of things I appreciate about Dr. Green and Shari. They are compassionate, skilled and honest. Dr. Green tells me when I can save money by avoiding unnecessary treatments.

I think Dentist 1 is probably a very good dentist. Dentist 1, however, is not in Dr. Green’s league. I am so impressed with Dr. Green that I have recommended him to my sister and friends.

Went in for routine cleaning and Dr. Green found a cavity. Took care of it on the same visit. This was great for me, as my schedule makes it difficult to reschedule! Great, friendly, professional Dentist and support staff!!

Dr. Green and his staff have always been wonderful with our family - Thank you for your thoughtful approach to care! My kids feel known whenever we are there and leave happy campers.

Our family went to this dentist about a month ago for a cleaning. The other day I received a invoice in the amount of $10.00 for a Covid 19 surcharge. I called and talked to their staff of which stated we received an email a few weeks starting they had to do a surcharge of $10.00 for PPE given the increase in costs.

In review of their billing to our insurance company I realized they they didn’t bill them for the Covid 19 surcharge of $10.00. Therefore, I reached out to our insurance and was told they don’t and won’t pay for the Covid 19 surcharge since that is part of doing business. I explained that Imagine Smiles was trying to pass that cost onto me. The insurance representative stated that since Imagine Smiles was a in network provider they are not allowed to charge there clients or them the surcharge.

The representative placed me on hold and put them on the phone of which they stated they would remove the charge.

After the call I called Imagine Smiles back and asked why they were trying to pull a fast one, knowing full well they couldn’t bill my insurance or myself since they were a in network provider. Their response was no has complained about except for me.

Be aware of their business model. They have to pay for there new building somehow at the expense of you the customer!!

I went in for a cleaning and to have a crown checked. I like their holistic approach. The hygienist and Dentist made me comfortable, not pushy. I plan to go back to have my old amalgam fillings safely removed.

Great friendly staff, knowledgeable hygienists and dentists, and an extremely clean office.

As always, a pleasant experience. In this time of Covid, I appreciate the care taken by the staff and the facility to minimize the chance of transmission of the virus. I felt very comfortable that this was one of the safest places I could go.

Initially there was a miscommuncation which was very frustrating because their schedule is so far out ...but they listened and were willing to accommodate. I am very grateful for that, thank you! Very happy with the customer service and work done on my teeth! Great team.
