My wife and I have tried many dentists in the past and we were OK with them. Once we moved to Magna and tried Dr. Vernon (7 years ago), we have never had any desire to go anywhere else.
He has now taken care of not only me and my wife, but our two older boys (6 and 9 years old). They love him. It took a few visits before they would let him and his staff to do more than play dissappearing water, count teeth, and "Play Jump Rope" with them, but they now rush into the office in excitement. Whichever boy goes 2nd ends up throwing a fit. The office now will try to bring both boys back at the same time.
Another nice thing that I love is that when he does do any drilling, he lets you choose a movie and put on some movie glasses which puts a 50 foot screen in front of your eyes. The only drawback is that he is always done before the movie is over.
His chair-side manners, staff, and office rewards are wonderful. He always sends you off with a new brush, tooth paste, and floss.
Our insurance takes him so I don't know much about his prices, but we never pay much out of pocket. One time when things were slow for him, he sealed my teeth, free of cost.
