For years my friends told me that Dr Yamamoto was the "pain-free-dentist", but I didn't really buy it. I needed a filling, so I decided to give him a shot. It's true, I didn't feel a thing when he was working on my filling. And even better, I didn't feel the shot to numb me up. That was a first for me. Dr Yamamoto has a very soothing and pleasant manner, so no matter what you go in for, it's a very mellow trip to the dentist. His staff are friendly and pleasant as well. Dr Yamamoto is at the opposite end of the county for me, but it's worth the drive for such a great dentist.
