One of my 101 Things was to get me back to a dentist! It’s been about 1.5 years since I had been, and I did not want to tempt fate by further delaying. The main issue is that I don’t have a car, so I had to pick someone close by. However, none of the nearby dentists are in my PPO network, so I had to bite the bullet and go to an out-of-network one.
After seeing positive reviews on Yelp, I decided to go to Urban Dental Group. It’s conveniently only a block from my work and the online verdict was positive, so I made my appointment and was in there within the week! I was impressed with the friendliness of the staff and cleanliness of the office. The X-ray machine had a cabinet into which it retracted. Better yet: they have a “relaxation room” complete with several bamboo plants, candles, mood lighting, massage chairs, fountain, and soothing ocean sounds. The only down side was the cost, which seemed a little steep for a basic cleaning. I’m still not sure how much my insurance wlil cover, so I’ll wait to see the reimbursement on that. I need get other work done and wanted to get a pre-auth for that just to see what the damage will be.
Anyway, item #2 on the 101 things list is done!
