The Best Oral Surgeon For Basic Local Anesthetic!
by aspiecub at Citysearch
I'm very scared when it comes to going to the dentist, even being 6' 6" tall. I want to relate that this was an emergency wisdom tooth extraction (within a day referral). I was told due to the last minute referral, I may have to wait a minimum 2 hours. They saw me almost immediately (30 min mostly). Dr. Hughes introduced himself and was very concerned about my level of anxiety and even said that most of his patients had to be sedated to the procedure. I told him I was willing to do the local anesthetic instead and he complied with my wish. The dental assistant was very understanding about my anxiety level and she agreed to inform Dr. Hughes about my wishes of not being informed of what was being done as well. He numbed the area thoroughly and this is the FIRST oral surgeon who was very good at numbing the area, he was extremely gentle compared to what I had heard. My tooth was extracted and he allowed me to wait 20 minutes to relax because of my anxiety and the shock that it wasn't even as bad as I had expected. I HIGHLY recommend this oral surgeon to others who get easily scared by simple numbing, he is outstanding! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me. I'm the biggest "baby" when it comes to dental procedures. By the way, my tooth was extremely sore before it was extracted and I was terrified that the numbing would hurt when he used the needle, I was happily wrong. The staff and Dr. Hughes need to be commended for their efforts and patience with me.
- Pros: simple rooms, numbing is done well, quick procedures
- Cons: It's in an old building, lots of people waiting

I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted. I was in at 10 out at 1045. Quick and painless. Dr. Hughes is very friendly and his staff as well. I highly recommend his services. He's great with impacted teeth as well.
- Pros: Rapid Service, Friendly and Knowledgeable Staff.

Dr Brennan was so friendly and caring. I was referred to him by my dentist for an extraction of my wisdom tooth. I was too nervous about twilight sleep so opted for local anesthesia. Well, he made the extraction quick and painless, I must admit the noises I heard and instruments he used to pull the tooth were scary but that was out of his control. He kept me distracted by talking to me during the process which made it so much better :) If need be I'd return to him without a doubt. :)
- Pros: Great doctor and polite staff
- Cons: not the best looking dental rooms
