My experience at Stoner was awesome. No pain, no upselling, worked with me to do what makes sense.
There's no pain because he uses a technique that doesn't take skin from the roof of your mouth. After seeing my mom and cousin go through this elsewhere I know that is a huge difference. I can't believe other docs can perform the antiquated method in good conscience. I even did no anesthesia and no pain killers except ibu and Tylenol afterward.
I can tell from my teeth they aren't trying to upsell. They could have sold me on getting 25 teeth taken care of but they didn't. They're just taking care of what needs done. They even gave me options to only take care of the worst teeth first and hold off 5 years on the not so bad ones. That would have been easier on the wallet but I didn't want to go through the post op procedures more than once (couple weeks off working out, eating non crunchy foods, and brushing funny). They even planned on splitting it into two years so I could max my insurance benefits.
I was going to go ahead and split all my teeth (9) into two years and I left the office with that plan. Apparently the scheduler told Dr. Stoner I was lamenting that to not leave money on the table I had to split it up into two years and he called to offer me a discount to make up for the lost insurance money and do it all at once. Huge difference for my convenience and even though it was easy and painless I am glad I'm not looking forward to doing it again next year.
Dr. Stoner is an old fashioned doc who cares about performing medicine the best it can be performed and taking care of his patients in a way that makes sense.
