I, unlike most other people, do not mind the routine dental cleaning. Especially at Glen Oaks Dental. I have pretty soft teeth which has lead to almost all of them needing fillings, and other than having a numb cheek for a couple hours I have never had a bad experience. I have had Dr Bejarano as my main dentist for quite some time now and have been really pleased with him. I feel comfortable bringing up any concerns to him knowing he genuinely cares. He will go to great lengths to try and make sure his patients’ needs are met individually. He always brings up topics discussed in the past, checking in on the family, school, and the like. That’s not only professional, but really personable. It makes the appointment less dreaded. I appreciate his honesty, and have never wondered if I’m being scammed there. I’ll ask a question regarding whitening recommendations and the like and he will always suggest cheaper alternatives rather than be pushy by trying to get me to have them professionally whitened. The ladies at the front desk are always awesome. I feel like I call them more than I call my mom sometimes, just to ask questions about something I need clarity on, or what have you. The hygienists are also really great. Patty, in particular, is incredibly gentle when doing the cleaning. When I first started going in I’d sit there wondering«when is the hair-raising scrapey part coming» and it never did because she is so skilled at her job, and takes care of things without making the patient uncomfortable.
