Dr Lavorini is a really nice guy. The most impressive thing about my experience w/Dr Lavorini (who shares a practice with Dr Gloria Fong) is the facility - Oh my goodness! It is so nice and clean and modern and high tech. You can watch cable TV while they work on your mouth... There's a screen above each chair for when you're reclined - And one on the wall for when you're sitting upright. It doesn't feel like a dentist's office at all - It's very comfortable which for someone with dentist anxiety like me, is very helpful.
Everyone who works there is really nice... The front desk folks are friendly, the hygienists are too.
As for the treatment - The cleaning was effective and painless. He's happy to explain everything in great detail, too. However, one of the fillings Dr Lavorini gave me broke and he refilled it but it still gives me a lot of trouble. The others he gave me are okay. It may have broke because of my TMJ-related tooth-grinding. His suggested solution to the TMJ was a mouthguard that ended up making my TMJ worse. If you have jaw problems, I would ask for a referral and try to go elsewhere to get it treated. But for routine dental work, Dr Lavorini is a good dentist and I've heard good things about Dr Fong, too.
