Megan M Cercek, DMD

Let me start by saying that I have a severe dental phobia. I mean, really serious. That said, I was handled with gentle hands throughout my whole experience.
I had some work done by a previous local dentist that all fell out within three or four years, and due to a lack of job, I wasn’t able to get in to have it taken care of (things cost money, you know?!). By the time I was able to get in, my mouth was in constant pain and I was convinced that I would need to have either a root canal or a tooth pulled. Not something I was looking forward to.
Dr. Cercek was able to save my tooth. It sounds corny, but you have no idea how much this means to me. In addition to this, both her and her staff my took my phobia and concerns very seriously. This is something that’s hard to find. Everyone says they have a dental phobia, but few of them really do. Due to this, it’s something they hear on a regular basis and it’s hard to get anyone to take you seriously.
My husband called and got me my first appointment, and it went great. We originally weren’t going to do any work; this was simply supposed to be a meet & greet and a way to get some x-​rays to see how I was doing. The hygienist, Meadow (?), was a pleasure to be around, and she did a beautiful job cleaning my teeth (that’s the work that wasn’t going to be done, but I felt so comfortable, that we went ahead with it. She kept up a one-​sided conversation that allowed me to completely zone out and yet kept me focused on what she was saying and not on my anxiety.
We booked my appointment for the following week to get my actual work done, and that appointment went as smoothly as it possibly could. I am unable to take Valium (It makes me even more anxious and panicky), so we had been searching for someone who would be willing to use nitrice oxide (Laughing Gas), or do twilight dentistry. She does nitrice, but between the environment and my own anxiety meds, it turned out that I didn’t need it. The shot went well, and was very, VERY smooth (no pinching or hyper-​jiggling), and she was freakishly fast. Despite the speed in which she finished, she did an amazing job!
I would recommend her for anyone who is looking for a gentle and thorough dentist who takes what you say very seriously. If you have any further questions about my experience, feel free to hit me up!

Made the switch and couldn’t be happier! I went in for a teeth cleaning with Meadow and I have to say, she is the first hygienist that didn’t wreak havoc on my teeth. Usually I leave with a sore mouth and have tenderness throughout the next few days and for once I didn’t. After my cleaning, I met with Megan and we went over my X-​rays; my last dentist told me I had three cavities and after examining my mouth and looking over everything, I was told by Megan I really only had one cavity. It pays to get a second opinion! Also, the front staff members were more than helpful!

Went back for the major work… and again never felt better. After not going to the dentist for over a decade, Dr. Cercek and her staff have corrected my dental issues and without pain. They make you feel so comfortable that I almost fell asleep. They have successfully changed my opinion about dentists. Thank you again Dr. Cercek
