12Both Dr. Glass and Dr. Edgar are great dentists. I first went to Advanced Dentistry for Invisalign because I noticed I was starting to have a cross bite. Dr. Glass easily could have just treated me for that but instead he referred me to a TMJ specialist, which I had actually been needing for years but had always been told there was no such thing (that TMJ specialist has now finally given me no jaw pain for the first time in about 15-17 years). Dr. Glass didn't even charge me for the x-rays and exam that day, I'm guessing insurance covered it but I've also never not paid something when visiting the dentist. Madalyn is a great dental hygienist. I don't usually like when a hygienist makes conversation, but she was just so nice and held great conversation. She scolded me for my flossing in the just the right way. I also like that they have TVs for my enjoyment during cleanings and that I can choose what to watch. Also, I like that Madalyn did the X-rays, the cleaning, and a preliminary exam before the doctor came into the room, and that the doctor trusted her evaluation. It's a great team dynamic. Dr. Edgar has a great personality and holds good conversation while waiting for anesthesia to kick in. He was very considerate about my TMJ and took a break between fillings in case I was in too much pain. The last time I had fillings (different dentist), as I have awful teeth, I had such a bad migraine and my jaw hurt bad that I was pretty useless the rest of the day. However, after having 3 cavities taken care of today by Dr. Edgar, I was pleasantly surprised that my jaw was not near as sore as I was expecting, even after the anesthesia wore off completely hours later. I really enjoyed Judy who assisted during my fillings, and never made me feel like I had any silly or annoying demands when I asked for something to adjusted, and we enjoyed an episode of Friends together while on my TMJ break. Always trust another Friends appreciator. I hope she assists in my future fillings. Christina, the office manager who also gives the cost estimates is amazing and has great communication. I like that she overestimated, and explained that the original cost estimate was possibly an over estimate as some of my fillings included prices for crowns but might only require normal fillings. She confirmed that I could have nitrous to help relax me but wouldn't be covered by insurance and many many many more questions, and never made me feel like a bother. They do accept a primary and secondary insurance, which a friend told me not all dental offices do.

4Dr. Todd Oldroyd is professional and receptive. Smart and intuitive. I have a zirconia crown now and its amazing! He understood the issue with the crack between my roots and made a competent decision to flatten my existing tooth in preparation, slight more than usual, for placement of the crown so more even pressure would be displaced rather than force being displaced in opposing directions. AAA staff. Well recommended.

2I have struggled with sleep for 30 years but I thought it was more of a nasal issue, never considering sleep apnea. Dr. Edgar diagnosed and treated my sleep apnea, even though I was totally unaware that I had sleep apnea. After wearing the sleep appliance for 2 months, I noticed that my heart arrhythmias had diminished. I have had PVC's and PAC's for 30 years but never realized that sleep apnea was the cause. Also, after putting the mouth appliance in each night, I quickly fall asleep. Before wearing the appliance, it would take 1.5 hours on average to fall asleep. Between the correction of my heart arrhythmias and quickly falling asleep, the mouth appliance has been life-changing for me. I highly recommend the dental mouth appliance that Dr. Edgar prescribed for me if you are struggling with sleep issues. As for dental issues, Dr. Edgar is very caring and thorough, taking the time to make sure that I understand the importance of the procedure and what to expect.
