The wife and I use The Dental Touch in Leesburg and have been pleased with the service and the staff. Biggest thing for me is they have female dentists. I have a small mouth and when a 6' 2" former college football lineman dentist sticks his sausage fingers in there it is painful. The women dentists have smaller hands/fingers and are more gentle doing the work.
Stay away from the dentist on 301 in Wildwood. I had part of a tooth break off and there wasn't enough left to accept a crown. Unfortunately there was a tooth missing next to that one so a bridge was the solution to fill the gap. They set me up an appointment to have the broken tooth pulled and to prep for a bridge. The dentist said it would be best for me to do everything at one time. I was told it would be a 2 1/2 hour procedure. After thinking about it I called back and told them that there was no way I could set there for that amount of time with my mouth open. The person on the phone said that it would be better to do it all at one time and I said NO, my way or no way. She kept trying to convince me to let them do it their way and I told her to forget about that I would find another dentist and hung up. About 20 minutes later she called back and said they would do it my way.
A few days later I go to the appointment and as I'm being prepped for the tooth extraction the dental assistant said they were going to do the extraction and prepare for the bridge. I told her that I thought that we had worked out an agreement that I would only do the extraction and would come back later for bridge prep. They must work from a script because she started with argument that it would be best to do all of it at one time. I got up, walked to the front and demanded to speak to the manager. She came back at me with the same BS about doing it all at once. I told her I had spoken to someone in the clinic about this and was told that they would only do the extraction. She started getting haughty with me asking who I talked with and I said I didn't remember the name. She inferred that I was lying. We got into a very heated argument about the lack of communication within their staff and told I her that it looked like a leadership problem. That didn't set very well with her and I really didn't give rat's butt. When I left there were a few people in the waiting room filling out new patient applications and I know they heard our conversation, so I told them they really needed to think about another dentist.
