Report
Arrived at Tietan Dental appointment and waited for dental assistant to seat me. Was lead to alcove and seated. Dentist checked temporary crown and asked questions about fit and any problems. Dentist placed swab with pain killer next to gum and when gum was numbed have shots in gum to deaden gum area for additional fitting of permanent crown. Temporary crown was removed, tooth surface checked, and new crown was fitted.
When satisfied Dentist final cleaned and dried tooth surface and applied adhesive. Crown installed and verified tight. After a short wait to allow permanent set of adhesive, was allowed to leave. Dentist and assistant very professional and attentive to procedure. A well done crown placement.

I'm glad I chose Tietan Dental for my recent dental needs. It was a painless experience and everyone from the receptionists Kathy and Samantha to Dr Daub's assistant and Dr Daub himself were very kind and informative and patient. I felt comfortable and I like that. Kelly Jo did my teeth cleaning and I would recommend her any time! All in all it was a pleasant experience. How often can you say that about going to the dentist?

I really don't like dental cleanings but Tietan Dental is always thorough, gentle, responsive to their patients, and on the lookout for potential issues so patients can plan ahead. Joyce is knowledgeable and kind. I always receive great care here.

Dr. O and Joyce the hygienist have always been caring, respectful and doing outstanding dental work. I've been with them about 12 years. They have also done major work on my teeth all in good standing. I would recommend them to the people I know. Thank You, Tietan Dentistry!

This was my first cleaning at Tietan Dental. Debbie was the most helpful hygienist I've been to, answering my many questions, and she did a great job. It was a pleasure to meet her. The office staff were pleasant and efficient as well, and I was in the waiting room only a few minutes. My impression so far is excellent!
