Fourth Avenue Dental Clinic

I received a huge abscess due to the freezing being injected too fast (Novocaine burn)
Dr. Christensen was very heavy handed with using the needles and dental burs/​tools during my root canal. I did NOT go back to do the crown after the root canal as I was no way going to chance another abscess as well as forceful pressure thats not needed (The dental burs should be doing the work, you don’t need to force down onto a patients jaw)
When I called them 2 times with in the week of my root canal about the massive pain in my mouth they said each time that a root canal is going to be painful… I know the difference and had to go to another clinic to seek help and they are the ones that discovered the huge abscess in a spot where I was injected with the freezing.
I have had tons of work done on my mouth and this is the only time I had encountered a Novocaine burn and I believe this was due to Dr Christensen’s heavy hand.
I used to work as a CDA as well as a Dental receptionist and know what is acceptable.

Just came back from a teeth cleaning and happy for another great experience. I really enjoy the personal touches, expertise and the great service — I twice had dental emergencies (one on the weekend) and Dr John and his office were really accommodating. I’m confident putting my dental health in their hands and have referred them to many of my friends. Highly recommended!

Really relaxed atmosphere. Everyone is so helpful and really friendly. I get quite nervous about the dentist and I felt at ease as soon as I walked in.

Going to the dentist is always stressful and a little scary, but Dr John and his team make me feel at ease and comfortable at every appointment. I never feel rushed or like ‘just another number.’ They always take the time to answer all my questions and make sure I am totally prepared for whatever I am in for that day. Really eases the nerves!

Great work! Awesome crew and they were very detailed and confident in their work. Definitely recommend this dentist!

He is everything a good dr. should be. Thank you dr. John. Staff is also excellent very friendly and professional.

I have been a patient of Dr. John’s for more than ten years. Aside from regular maintenance and cleanings, he’s replaced all of my fillings, done an emergency crown or two, and created some amazing gold foils. Dr. John and his staff are wonderful, courteous, prompt and professional, the service is excellent, and he has always been there for me on short notice when I’ve had a dental crisis!

I have to say this before I begin. I hate going to the dentist. It scares the life out of me, I despise it and I often neglect appointments because I don’t like going. However, since I’ve been going to John, I’ve not had a single issue and… ghasp… actually really enjoy being there.
The office is nice and small and Dr. John’s dogs Loki and Ginger are often roaming around greeting patients.
The dental hygienists and assistants are all really lovely and friendly and willing to help ease the pain of a dental trip. I often flinch and seem to be enjoying myself less than I am and they always check in and do what they can to make sure I’m not miserable.
I’ve never had to wait going in to see Dr. John, maybe five minutes, but nothing major and the dogs always keep you company.
I’ve never had major problems with my teeth so I can’t comment on his more advanced skills, but everything I have had done by Dr. John has been exactly what I wanted and more!

I’ve been going to John for 15 years and have always felt relaxed and welcome in his casual, social environment.
