Aspire Of WNY

Question — do you still have your wisdom teeth? Well I don’t. This is where the story begins…
I would rather break my leg than go through the pain that goes along with a toothache. This was not just any toothache — turns out I needed to get my wisdom teeth removed. I didn’t think much of it — I’d had teeth pulled before but in sharing this with others came the slew of horror stories mixed with some pretty entertaining videos of people on certain drugs they received during this procedure. (ex.
)
Anyway — desperate for relief I frantically called around for any oral surgeon that could take a walk-​in right away! The fastest place I found was this Aspire location. I thought to myself «Ok at least this place sounds legit» — even though at that point I would have thrown myself in front of a bus to get them out! The office seemed fairly new. It was clean, quiet and the receptionists were friendly. When I was called in I noticed most everyone who worked there seemed very young. Now I don’t mean call the child labour board but they all appeared to be right out of school. The apprehension began but it could not outweigh the pain.
As soon as I was seated, one of the dentists came and started scraping at my teeth. «A cleaning? Right now?!» I thought to myself. I was there to have an x-​ray not to mention I could barely open my mouth.
Next visit was getting 2 of the 4 teeth removed. First of all let me tell you how much Tylenol w/​codeine does NOT help with the coping of a toothache. I sat in bed like a whining baby with an ice pack sippin’ on Orajel. Queue the novacaine. Now that stuff works like a charm but holy h*** I didn’t expect to get so many shots of it. Needless to say I went home with chapstick all over my chin.
Visit 3 consisted of getting the remaining 2 teeth out. The first weren’t that bad so I was ready. Along comes the same dentist who removed the first two — she had an accent and never seemed very sure of herself. Comforting I know. The procedure began similar to the last one until one tooth started giving her trouble. Well she was determined — so determined that she pulled so hard the tool slipped and nearly took my eye out! If I hadn’t closed my eye and jerked away I would have probably been calling a lawyer. What was her reaction? Nothing. The reaction came from her assistant who was holding another device for her. «Oh, I’m sorry sweetie are you ok?» Then bam here is the doctor again pulling away at my tooth. I had to push her away and tell her that I needed a second because my eye was watering all over the place. This actually sounded more like «Oo akkammee ooga ek!»
To conclude: Aspire was good for the quick help and maybe I’d get a cleaning again (lord knows you will apparently get one anyway) but any major procedure I would avoid. Guess everyone has to start/​learn somewhere… just not in your mouth.
