I’m so glad I happened to be walking by Zen Dental and went in to check it out when I was searching for a new dentist. I had had a couple unpleasant dentist experiences with high-pressure salesman-like dentists, and another who just did expensive, sloppy work. I’ve had really excellent, dental-health-forward experiences with Dr. Pokhrel and the entire staff. The Zen part isn’t just the heated lavender eye mask [!] and massage chair [!!!] during the procedures, it’s the whole vibe. Every process is discussed with me thoroughly beforehand, regarding both the procedure and the cost. Their technology game is top notch: they use a lot of photography to show me exactly what’s going on with my teeth and the suggested plan. Dr. Pokhrel, in a short amount of time, has made an effort to get to know me and connect. It’s all very reassuring. And she’s kind to her attending hygienists, which is not a given in my experience, and important to me. The work I’ve had done—cleanings, two fillings, a crown replacement, and gum disease treatment—have all been painless, thorough, and unproblematic. Going to the dentist is no longer something I dread.
