JL Dental

I cannot express in words how much I fear the dentist. I had a horrific and very traumatic experience in the past and have found it impossible to go into a dental office. Then the worst thing happened. My tooth broke and even though I babied it for months so I wouldn’t have to go see a dentist, it eventually fought back. The gums became infected and then one day the nerve touched the infection and I felt a pain I had never experienced… and I have four children. I was desperate and called JL Dental. Dr. Laura Mears fit me in right away and everyone in the office was amazing. After getting rid of the infection she brought me in for a root canal. It really was a breeze. She and her assistant were kind, gentle, and explained every step as they did it. I felt very comfortable and I am extremely pleased with the care I received. I will go back for my crown and will likely continue my care to avoid emergencies in the future.

My husband received services from this office, and while he was pleased with the dentist we both were very frustrated the administrative staff neglected to inform him that his insurance would not cover the full bill for a routine cleaning. He asked the receptionist during the phone call when scheduling his visit if they accepted our insurance, and he asked at the time of service– both times they said they did accept the insurance and did not notify him of the extra $ 119.00 that the insurance would not cover due to them being Out of Network Providers. With this simply being his 6 month routine visit, we did not expect any other charges. I understand that we could have (and should have) done our homework to ensure they were In-​Network, but one would think their office would have been more up front. We are all busy people and things slip our minds… so beware that you’ll need to keep on top of your charges when dealing with this establishment.

My daughter and I just started seeing Dr. Mears over the past few months. I have to say JL Dental is the most pleasant dental office we have ever been to. Everyone is do friendly and makes you feel right at home. Cleanings are thorough yet gentle… I am so glad we switched to this practice. Could not be happier!
