Due to many years of terrible experiences with dentists I had a horrible phobia; a true fear. Just the smell of a dental office made me nauseous, and I would break out in a cold sweat. In order to get into the dentist chair I would take a valium prior to my visit. My fear caused me to neglect my teeth to the point that I needed serious dental care. I was referred to Dr. Scurria and I can tell you that from almost the first moment I met Dr. Scurria and his wonderful staff, my fear, although still alive and well, changed. They made me feel safe, well taken care of, and that they truly cared. I was known far and wide in the dental community as a “runner”; dentists could get me into the chair once, but even though I would promise to return and follow their recommendations, I never did. Dr. Scurria was firm with me yet caring. He gave me several options to choose from yet made me realize that I need to take care of my teeth before it was too late.\r
The process was long and very expensive; my husband reminds me daily that my wonderful smile came at the cost of a small luxury car, but the end results were well worth it and I can’t thank Dr. Scurria and his great staff enough. The implants are so well done, that the other day in a meeting someone told me I had the most beautiful teeth and a great smile! \r
I’m still a “white knuckle” patient, but Dr. Scurria will always be my dentist of choice, and when I do have to go to the dentist I arrive with a great smile. They’re my dental family.\r
