Summary:
So first of all: I was blown away. This dentistry is like from Star trek or some alternate universe, simply Wow. They leverage the latest technology and the vibes in this dentistry are friendly, fresh, and everyone there seems self motivated and team oriented. Even when it is close to 7pm in the day. They went above and beyond.
The longer story:
Just in the last minute before the 4th of July holiday weekend my crown broke off and it visibly had a crack too. They were the only ones still open, they have extra long hours - and they took me in, last minute. And they were able to help. Everyone there was relaxed, friendly, some humor, nice people. Dr. Renfrow explained everything in detail, this was great, I am curious and want to know. Also they squeezed me in to get a new crown made just the next week, again late hours.
And that was the Star Trek experience. No putty and bites and waiting a few weeks. Instead they have a wireless device which they put into your mouth, it flashes, takes seemingly hundreds of pictures and one hour later they have the crown ready for you. A wonderful Zirconia crown.
Dr. Renfrow again explained interesting details, collaborative vibes in the room with the team, everyone genuinely laughing, friendly, chill and very knowledgeable.
The crown fits perfectly, no adjustments or any grinding it down needed.
During the process the staff and doctors there were super friendly, despite the late hours in the day, explained everything and were utter fun to communicate with.
And the cream on top. The initial estimate for the cost was lowered twice thanks to the attentive and very nice ladies in the office.
Dr. Huff is very kind, easy to work with, he does excellent work, is fair and will tell you what is most critical for budgeting purposes. I have had alot of work done with him and he has always made me happy. Even if there is an adjustment he is there to make it perfect! It can be quite expensive to invest in ones teeth especially as you age and have implant and crown issues. I am happy to reccomend him and his staff for all your dental needs. I do use the in house dental plan as it does make financial savings easy.
After years of trauma at the dentist I finally feel comfortable in the chair. South Coast is kind, quiet, efficient and encouraging. Dental plan is reasonable and inclusive.
Warning: Ensure you know how long you have left on your in-house dental plan. Even if you have paid your bills the staff will not explain it to you with any shred of kindness.
Went in to get my teeth cleaned and they put in a spacer between my teeth and a few days later my tooth in the bottom right started hurting to where im crying. Super sensitive to everything. Went back in and they said to stop grinding my teeth and if it gets worse to go in and get a root canal.
If you need a dentist in Coos Bay, I highly recommend this office. After my daughter (possibly) injured her permanent front teeth in a bike accident, they scheduled her for an appointment the very next day. Dr. Jensen was thorough, compassionate, and informative. The following week, my 12-year-old son was treated by Dr. Cannon and hygienist Julia, who were both outstanding with him. We’re very impressed with the care and professionalism of the entire staff!
After being left completely high and dry by my regular dentist pertaining to a horribly infected tooth, this place squeezed me on a moments notice and in some ways, saved my life today. Im not a weak minded or any stranger to pain after enduring several life changing injuries in my life but after 9 days of the most intense tooth/face pain ive ever experienced, and feeling like I had no hope of getting it fixed during the holidays, I was contemplating some drastic measures to end the constant torture. After almost no sleep or food intake for so long the mind goes some interesting places needless to say. To say I am greatful for being treated here today is such a drastic understatement. The staff was so unbelievably understanding and accommodating being as how I showed up extremely nauseous and stressed about what was about to happen. While the experience of the procedure itself was far from pleasant, a dentist visit for me never is so im just greatful for the staff and how above and beyond they went to bring me some aspect of comfort today and how unbelievably kind they were under the circumstances. Highly recommend this dentist especially if you are in an emergency and finding yourself unable to get the help you need anywhere else! Im anticipating the first half way decent rest ive had in 9 days and its such an incredible relief to be remotely comfortable for the first time in so many days!
I have been to several dentists in the area over the years, I also have several dental anxiety. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am with S.C.F.D! Dr. cannon specifically. He just really takes his time, makes sure you are comfortable and does an outstanding job WITHOUT judgement! Something that is so hard to find these days. Highly recommend to anyone who is scared or embarrassed to go! Give him a shot!
