Gerald P Unhold , DMD MD

At our long-​time dentists’ referral, I took my 14 yo daughter in for a consultation, and to have her 4 wisdom teeth removed. :-(Dr. Unhold’s office is clean, attractive and comfortably large. The staff is very professional and friendly, very quick and efficient. The consult was Friday, and we scheduled surgery for Monday morning. Our appointment was at 10:50am, and we were driving away (minus the 4 teeth) at 11:55. She had nitrous and general anesthesia, and Rx for Vicodin and Ibuprofen.
The Dr. also made sure she had a long-​lasting *local* anesthetic, so she’d stay numb all afternoon, giving me plenty of time to get her home on the couch, and then back out to fill the Rx before she felt any pain. She was sore for most of a week, but healed up very well, and is very happy to have it behind her. Dr. Unhold was extremely friendly, nice, helpful, definitely put us both at-​ease. The office called to check up on her that evening and to see if we had any questions. I’ve already recommended their office to one or two other people with upcoming dental work.
My only criticism was that I’m accustomed to going with my kids until they’re «in the chair» and being able to sit with them as they wake up. I wasn’t allowed on this visit, although maybe if I’d requested it or pushed a little, it would have been ok. As it was, a nurse came out to walk me through her care after a few minutes, and then Dr. Unhold came out after about 30 – 40 minutes to let me know how it all went. It was just an hour when they asked me to drive around back to help escort her out to the car. If I’d known the office was going to be so quick, I wouldn’t have been as concnered about being there with her while she was waiting… I don’t think she must have had any waiting (anxiety) time at all! Thanks all, I’m a happy mom.
