Lloyd Pragasam, DDS

Love this dentist! Very relaxed environment. After I had all 4 wisdom teeth taken out dr. Pragasam called me himself to make sure I was healing well. Definitely recommend.

So let me start off by saying im petrified of the dentist. My gums and teeth been through alot dealing with braces, visits to the perodontist, having my wisdom teeth pulled out all in my late 20s. Fast forward to my early 30s, its been a couple of years now and I know its time for a cleaning. Ive been looking for a dentist in the area and my co worker recommended this place to me. Im so glad I came here. Vangie took care of me. She was nice, truthful, and careful. I came in for my deep cleaning today, I only did my right side today, Vangie explained the process to me, what she will be doing and she made sure I was comfortable. She took her time while numbing me up and you know what, it didnt hurt the way I imagine it. Remember Im petrified, I once slapped the needle of the doctors hand when I had my wisdom pulled. I have to come back next week for mt left side and you know Im actually looking forward to it.

A great dental office, love Dr P, Francis, Bangor and everyone. A great dentist and staff

Been looking for a good dentist and dental clinic for a long time, until I discover Dr. Pragasam Family Dentistry, the first thing I noticed were the receptionist Francis and Lila they were absolutely accommodating and well mannered in dealing with their clients. My second observation was the clinic itself, I am particular in the cleanliness of a place and I am impress with their clinic it was well kept and well clean. I am particularly anxious of getting my teeth done as I know how uncomfortable and painful it can be but in my surprise and I am happy to share it with you of how they make me feel comfortable and at home. My first visit was for a general check up and cleaning Vangie she did a good job in taking a full x-​ray of my teeth and for cleaning my teeth. Dr. Alfred Pragasam examined my teeth and he explained to me that I need to get a tooth filling to save my teeth and to save myself from a painful and expensive rootcanal. They guided me in every process. On my second visit I got my teeth fixed and I am super happy of how smooth it went. I highly recommend Dr. Jamie Pragasam graduate of Loma Linda School of dentistry she is well trained and knowledgeable. She fixed the problem area that I have in my teeth and I am super happy that they made it work based on my budget, and they let me choose from silver filling or white filling and I got white tooth colored filling. I highly recommend them.

Upon my arrival I was greeted by Frances, who made me feel very welcomed. However, once my name was called for cleaning I immediately felt uncomfortable with Vangie who didn’t even bother introducing herself before she started my deep cleaning. When she started cleaning my teeth you could just hear her huffing and puffing saying my gums are bleeding too much. I’ve always had sensitive gums, but I’ve never heard a dental hygienist complain so much. After the cleaning I was taken to another room (with absolutely no privacy) where my teeth would be examined. There were about 4 – 5 people around my chair as Dr. Jamie Pragasam was checking my teeth. I knew I had a couple of cavities which is why I made this appointment in the first place. However, as Dr. Pragasam was naming off the teeth with the cavities I was feeling so embarrassed and uncomfortable. That experience was a NIGHTMARE. Vangie was standing close by and she told Dr. Pragasam «her teeth need a looooot of work» out in the open for everyone to hear. I felt as if I was put down and humiliated because of the state my teeth were in. Despite my horrible horrible experience during my first visit there, I decided to give it another chance and still make an appointment to have my couple fillings filled. What a mistake that was! Upon my arrival, Frances was pleasant – again. When I was called in to get started there was no communication no «how are you» nothing from Vangie– again. I was asked to sit in the chair and shortly after Dr. Pragasam began the fillings. She waited a bit and made sure I was numb enough to be comfortable, which was very nice of her. She was gentle and made sure I felt fine. However, once she was done I went to the bathroom and looked at my teeth. WHAT A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!! I was given silver fillings even after my request for the white! My teeth are weak as it is so I can’t just have them replaced with the white. Had they communicated with their patients like every dentist should I would not have walked out crying and upset that they had done something to my teeth that I had asked them not to. Since I am young adult, I’m going to assume that they believed I wouldn’t want to pay the extra money for the white fillings and so they gave me the silver. I confronted them after and I was told that my teeth were too weak for the white and that my only choice was to get silver at this point. Why was I not told this when I had requested the white? Anyway, after consultations with THREE other dentists, I learned this was not true! It should always be MY decision what is done to MY teeth. I am very disappointed and I warn all of you with cavities and/​or imperfect teeth to avoid.

Love my dentist! Love the staff! I actually like to go get my teeth cleaned there! Appointments are always on time
