When my daughter asked me how was my dentist appointment, I responded, excellent! She said that one would not expect those two sentences to go together. A few weeks ago when I was trying to make an appointment to my regular dentist I felt the Lord nudged me to go to a holistic Dentistry. I really didn't think there was such a thing. I googled holistic dentistry and came across Pittsburgh Center for Holistic Dentistry. I have no regrets. I believe this is a top-notch facility from start to finish. I appreciate the hygienist. I appreciate Dr. Tammy and the consultation she gave me. If you value your health coupled with valuable knowledge this facility will not disappoint.

I want to preface by saying that I waited about a week before writing this review. My emotions were high right after the event that took place and I wanted to make sure I still felt the same after the shock factor wore off. Me writing this review shows my emotions have not changed and I will not be going back to this dental office. I stated on my intake form that I do have dental anxiety, especially when it comes to needles. However, I have never once cried, especially as a grown woman, during a dentist visit. Dr. Tammy during my initial consult was very kind and even said that my dental anxiety is normal. That it’s something innate and to not feel ashamed. That when I would be coming back the following week and the other dentist would be doing a simple filling, that she’d “take great care of you and understands you have anxiety around needles”. Okay, great. I felt at ease when I came back a week later for two “small” fillings. I came in for my appointment, of course nervous, but comfortable knowing they understood my fear of needles and would be showing me grace. It started off rocky when I showed up at 1:40 for my 1:50 appointment and wasn’t taken back until 2:30. I won’t count the 10 minutes I came early, so we’ll just say they took me back 40 minutes late. That alone made me so anxious, just sitting there in anticipation. From there, it was the worst experience I’ve ever had at a dental visit. I cried more than I care to admit. Not only was it dehumanizing but also embarrassing. I then had to sit through a cleaning afterwards when all I wanted to do was escape and never see that place again. I felt bad for the dental hygienist that was trying to work with me during my cleaning but at that point I was so checked out, I was in so much pain, my face, neck, and shirt were wet from tears and I felt so embarrassed that I just wanted her to do the cleaning as quick as possible so I could get out. The cleaning I received was good, the dental assistant during my fillings was so kind, Dr. Tammy during my initial consult was so great, but I saw none of what Dr. Tammy mentioned in my first consult actually happen during my filling appointment from the dentist that did the work. Not to mention we are all paying a hefty price out of pocket, so I did expect a much better experience. If you look at any of my other reviews you can see I have never left a bad review. I don’t do this to shade this establishment, but to warn those that have dental anxiety to truly consider your options. I didn’t think my dental anxiety was that bad, especially since I’ve only gotten nervous and have never cried, yet I was left shaking during the procedure with tears in my eyes as this dentist treated me poorly. She may be a dentist for the military, but I didn’t consent to paying for that type of service. I consented to paying over $1,000 total for a dentist to treat me with dignity and respect which is what I did not receive.

I have been coming here for over 10 years and will not stop being a patient. I often would put off dental appointments with previous dentists as I had a lot of dental anxiety but I can say that I no longer have that after coming here. Everyone is very helpful, accommodating, and anticipates my needs such as providing me with a blanket before a dental procedure. They always listen and have helped me through many difficult procedures to get my dental health in top shape.

I'm fortunate to have them to take care of my dental needs. I was looking for the dentist who can properly remove silver/amalgam filings out of my mouth. I didn't have any severe symptoms but I wanted to make sure I prepare for the future baby I would conceive as well as my own health. It took me about two months to get all the procedure done with a few visits and the time I spent at their office was smooth and comfortable. I sense that I feel much lighter physically and mentally. Anyone who is concerned with their silver fillings, they can give you the right advices and take care of your problems professionally. Thank you for all the great people who took care of my needs!
