BEWARE! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! I went to Dr. Greg La Vecchia (the younger, not Louis). When I went in, I had never had a cavity and had never had tooth pain. Dr. La Vecchia said there were 7 cavities he needed to fill - I stopped him at 5. 7 cavities!! After never having a cavity before!? Sounds fishy. I'll even give him the benefit of the doubt that there were cavities there - what happened next was really terrible. A month after the fillings, I went back because I was continuing to have major pressure sensitivity - I couldn't chew anything (even potato chips were too hard) on the right side of my mouth because I had a very sharp pain and I felt like one of my teeth would break if I used it. Hot/cold sensitivity, as well. He spent less than 5 minutes with me, said that it was normal to have pain for the first 3 months and said offhandedly "some people always have some pain." WHAT?! I have lived with a terrible amount of pain for the past year, only to find out from my new dentist that I have a cracked tooth and will require a crown. Dr. La Vecchia dismissed my pain and was unwilling to fix a problem that he very likely caused. I am immensely disappointed in my experience - beware!!
About Hygienist: She was fine - I don't remember which one i had but she wasn't very gentle. The gals at the front desk were very nice.
