White Alan L DDS

I was looking for a new dentist and someone recommended Dr. White to me. He is an excellent dentist and the best I’ve ever been to. The staff is very nice and you don’t have to wait long. Dr. White is very professional and thorough and he and his assistant work very well together. He found a tooth that had an infection that I was unaware of because the nerve was dead and I had felt no pain. During the exam he noticed fine cracks in it and asked if there was ever trauma. I had a car accident 30 years earlier and that tooth slowly died, so I was unaware. He took an xray and showed me the films where it was abscessed. If he had not discovered and fixed this tooth, I could have lost it in the future. My previous dentist had completely missed this. My prior dentist was fine, but had the philosophy that if it doesn’t cause pain, don’t worry about it. That may be OK in many cases, but not in this one. He performed a root canal on the front tooth. It had a single canal, and since the nerve was dead already, I felt absolutely nothing during the root canal and did not even need novocaine. Their fees are reasonable too. Even though he is not in my insurance network, the insurance did not deem any of his charges above reasonable and customary. I would highly recommend this office.

This will be a bittersweet Unilocal review considering I’m still in excruciating pain from my last visit to see Dr. White. Why was I there, you ask? For my useless, twisted, backwards, painful wisdom teeth. I cannot even been to describe how much pain the extraction of my bottom two wisdom teeth have caused me, but I am very thankful for the treatment I was given at this particular dentist. He was aware that I was going to be in pain, so he helped in any way possible. He explained what was happening during the extraction, how I could help the healing process and what I should/shouldn’t eat along the way.
Like I said, I’m still in pain — but — I believe that the experience could have been ten times worse had I been given an awful dentist. I have gone to Dr. White for quite awhile and he has seen me through some major stages of life: graduating high school, studying abroad, starting a new job, saving up for new trips, etc. These topics mean a great deal to me and he makes it a point to chat about my life at every visit. Very nice — and something that I don’t forget about afterward.
So, thank you Dr. White — for most recently taking out my horrid wisdom teeth.
