For some context, I am a student at a nearby university that needed an emergency root canal. I do not live near the area, and this was the first health emergency I had to deal with on my own, so my anxiety was especially heightened. I also have a pre-existing intense fear of the dentist's office, I have now had three root canals and countless fillings, all of which were filled with tears (except the one done at Celestial). During the entire process of booking my appointments, Rosanna was incredibly courteous and kind, and showed a level of care that went well beyond any experience I have had before. The facilities astronomy theme I found especially captivating and there is top of the line dental technology to match, which eases your entire process. You are able to see 3D scans of your mouth as well as x-rays practically immediately on big monitors in front of your chair. This makes any conversations you have with the professionals incredibly smooth, as you both can see the visual info and you are always encouraged to ask any questions you may have. This allowed my anxious mind to quell itself, as I was provided with helpful, honest answers along every step. Regarding the root canal itself, it was the least painful experience (checkups included) that I have ever had in any dentist's office. At constant intervals, Dr. C would check in to make sure I was doing okay and let me know if a particular step had a chance of sensitivity. From the very beginning, Dr. C and Hannah took the time to address and accommodate all my concerns. For example, as I entered the chair, I was immediately told that I could have a blanket during the entire process which instantly added to my comfort level. The night before, I was internally reprimanding myself for not having a stress ball to squeeze during the procedure, as I realized it would be a great substitute for the lack of parental company (I am a baby and held my father's hand during my last root canal, and yes it helped). But, Dr. C is a mind reader, and at the very beginning asked me if I wanted to use one of their on-site stress balls (also masterfully themed after planets). You also have a monitor above perfectly in line with your resting head, which cycles through fun facts about space and the staff (I did not know it rains diamonds on Saturn). There is another fact that stuck out to me, but I will get to that later. One of these slides suggests you can also have streaming shows put on, but I was completely engrossed with the slides and the conversation Dr. C was having with me on common interests that calmed my nerves. As they understood I had a fear of being alone during the procedure, Hannah stayed with me the entire time and made sure I was comfortable. I know this review has been quite long, but I wanted to do justice to acknowledging the countless efforts Celestial Dental makes in the sake of patient care and comfort. If Dr. C was my dentist my whole life, I do not believe I would have ever formed a dental fear. I will be coming back for as many follow ups as possible before I graduate. Furthermore, it has made me consider planning visits to friends still attending the university around a visit to the dentist's office, which is a sentence I never thought I would write. I have never felt more motivated to take care of my teeth, and I credit this motivation to the reverberating care felt throughout the entire Celestial experience. A fact mentioned on one of the slides is that Dr. C attended a Jesuit high school, and seeks to embody their objective of being "men for others". As a fellow attendee of a Jesuit high school, it is rare that I see someone fulfill that mission goal. But Dr. C, by every definition, does. He is truly a man for others and if every office was like his, I believe dentist anxiety would be a thing of the past. If you suffer from said anxiety, Celestial Dental is the clear option. read less
