Dr. Wright is a highly talented, caring dentist, whom I recommend without any hesitation. Who knew that breaking a tooth could be lucky? But it was lucky for me, because that’s how I found Dr. Wright.
A few weeks ago, while flossing, I broke out part of a filling in one of my front teeth. I wasn't in any pain, but the hole looked awful and the tooth felt so brittle and fragile that I worried that the tooth itself would break. So I went in the next day to see my regular dentist (not Dr. Wright) to have the filling replaced. To my dismay, my dentist said the filling couldn't be replaced, and that the only solution was to crown a minimum of 4 of my front teeth. When I protested that just one tooth was broken, she said a minimum of 4 would have to be done to get the crowns to match. The estimate was very expensive, so I decided I wanted to get a second opinion. I went to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentists website, where I found Dr. Wright, who has the highest credential the AACD awards: Dr. Wright is an Accredited Fellow.
His staff was friendly and helpful when I called, and I was happy that I was able to complete all of the new patient paperwork online. But I was really impressed when I actually went in for my appointment. Dr. Wright introduced himself and asked me to tell him what brought me to the office. He listened patiently. He was the third dentist whom I consulted, but he was the only one who immediately told me, upfront, what the approximate cost would be, per tooth, for crowns. That was incredibly helpful, and I was impressed that he did that. In addition, once Dr. Wright began to explain various options (and he said there were several) Ashley handed me a mirror, so I could see in my mouth what we were talking about as Dr. Wright examined and discussed each of the 4 teeth in question. He didn't try to sell me on any particular option. He explained each one, and emphasized that what I want to do is entirely up to me. And last but not least, as he was finishing up, he asked if I would like to have the broken tooth repaired "while you're here anyway". My dentist had told me that a repair wouldn't be possible, so I was pretty much blown away when Dr. Wright did it then and there, and he did it for no charge. He just said, "I wouldn't want you leaving my office with that broken tooth." He did beautiful work. The repair is better than the original work. The fact that he was able to repair that tooth, seemingly effortlessly, in just a few minutes, and that he cared enough to offer to do so, when I'm not even a regular patient (YET), convinced me that he's the dentist I need to be seeing. I highly recommend Dr. Wright.
