Asheville Holistic Dentist 10a Yorkshire Street, Asheville, NC 28803

"The good stuff: the office staff is pleasant, the office and the treatment rooms are clean and have a calming ambiance. Their imaging technology is sophisticated and as non-invasive as possible. I got to keep pictures and scans that helped me really see what was happening in my mouth. Unfortunately, I would not consider this location "holistic" and to be fair, I did have high expectations for my visit because they marketed holistic. That word carries a lot of weight to me. That a provider would go the extra mile in care for a whole-body approach to oral health. As a new patient, I was never asked my current oral health routine by anyone. I was not surprise I was also not offered advice on how to improve my routine or any holistic approaches to try such as oil pulling, or clove mouthwash, etc. I was offered sample tablets to take overnight to maintain good oral flora, however, I wasn't looking for a pill. While the office staff was friendly, ultimately, I felt like just another set of teeth to work on and could have simply dialed 1-800-DENTIST and received the same level of interest in me and my oral well being. Again, I was coming to them with intentions of a higher level of care than your run-of-the-mill dental establishment. I didn't like having conversations about my body with the dentist sitting in my peripheral while I was reclined and craning my neck. It didn't feel like a caring conversation setup when meeting for the first time. I prefer face forward conversation with my medical providers about expectations and intentions before diving into treatment. After the exam, the exact procedures details were left to be explained by the hygienist. The dentist said we'll be doing a lot of "cleaning up" and then left. After he left I had to ask the hygienist what the plan was. Surprisingly she said 6 crowns, 2 fillings, and a night guard. I was stunned and didn't get the sense that my teeth were in that bad of shape while with the dentist. Plus, that was probably $15k worth of dental work. Was it all immediate? Absolutely necessary? What was the plan? A timeline? Were my teeth going to fall out if I waited? I had so many questions and felt like my time was up and I had to go. No debrief with the actual dentist who is the person I'm looking to for my oral health. The hygienist was nice, but I didn't go there to see her, I went there to understand my oral health make a good, reasonable plan with the dentist. Maybe that's just the way this office runs normally. As a person who actively seeks holistic health care alternatives I was surprised to learn they offer Botox injections as an option/answer to teeth grinding. At my second visit to get 2 fillings, I was also surprised when I turned out to be a nervous patient with him, that I would be prescribed an anti-anxiety medication before being able to have fillings completed because my body was rejecting the numbing injections. A first for me, by the way. I would never expect those kinds of solutions at a true holistic medical site. The dentist said my body was emotionally rejecting the solution, (which I appreciated communication about), and then gave an unexpected ultimatum to take medication before he could see me again. I was emotional already and the bluntness of it was jarring. His delivery of the initial numbing needle was excellent though and I hardly felt a thing. I realized later I was nervous because I didn't think he even knew he was working on me, Kelly. Like he didn't actually see a person there, just a mouth. I wanted to feel cared for, but did not. I was two fillings at 3pm. I barely think he took the time to look me in the eye before diving in and that was not the bedside manner I am used to. So, apparently my mind and body rejected the injections and we couldn't move forward. Maybe I'm just a person who needs a little more communication and TLC than your average patient. I'm an empathic person by nature and listen to my gut when making decisions. I will not be returning, however, I'm glad for anyone else who had a good experience at this location."
