The first person I encounter at every visit to Gentile Dentistry of Lancaster is Amber, the receptionist. I have often been struck by her poise and eloquence. After working in several medical offices, I understand the importance of having the proper ""front end"" personnel representing a practice.\r
At my first visit, I explained to Dr. Bartos and his hygienist, Melissa how, several years earler, I had gone to another dentist and had a root canal. I had foolishly bit into a Tootsie Roll less than a week afterwards when disaster had struck. My tooth was lodged in the candy. My dentist attempted to cement the tooth back in my mouth, but because the root of the tooth was destroyed, there was a great deal of pain when I tried biting down. \r
My dental insurance only paid for one root canal every six years and dental implants were out of the question financially. I was very frustrated at that point I spent the next couple of years being too embarrassed to smile or putting my hand up over my mouth to hide the rather large gap the missing tooth had caused.\r
Upon carefully examining my tooth structure, Dr. Bartos asked me ""how can we help you get your beautiful smile back""? We then discussed various options and decided that a bridge would be the best alternative.\r
To his own admission, Dr. Bartos is a perfectionist. After sending my impressions back to the lab several times until the finished product was to his satisfaction, I now have the beautiful smile that I have always wanted.\r
