Roy D Bedrock, DDS

I was referred to Dr Bedrock and spent a week of worrying & dreading the visit. Just had a root canal 2 weeks prior. The office is very cool and relaxing (nice blue color), very clean and I felt relaxed. The staff was was friendly, only had me fill out the paperwork needed (not everything that was written on my dental & medical forms) so less hassle. He explained everything that would happened during the procedure (removing a cracked wisdom tooth), I opted for the nitrous has ($ 27 bucks more with my insurance), I was fully numb before the shots and felt at ease. They zero’d in on me being a «cat person», so they talked about cats & I had a hand to squeeze and really I never felt the pressure or any pain when he pulled my tooth, stitched me up & got my scripts, gauze supply, directions for after care & I sat till I was ready to leave. Plus he had nice teeth, a MUST when I go to a dentist, don’t care if they’re real or veneers, just lets me know he represents what he sells. I would like an implant & would definitely go back or recommend him. Yabba Dabba Dooo (couldn’t resist)

This is the second time I have had to see Dr. Bedrock. Both instances have been superior experiences. I had a tooth pulled both times. I enjoyed the encouragement fronted staff. I also enjoyed the ability to wear my own headphones during the procedure because I dot like the sound from the dentist chair. On the last visit Pam and Melissa were very helpful before and during the procedure. I also enjoyed the music on the waiting room. I would recommend Dr. Bedrock to anyone in Clayton in need of a dentist.

Even though I was having a wisdom tooth pulled, that I really didn’t want to have pulled, by no fault of Dr. Bedrock, it was a very pleasant experience. The entire office staff is extremely professional and friendly. I will definitely be scheduling any oral surgery needed in the future with Dr. Bedrock, in a heart beat. Hopefully I will not need to use him again in the near future, but I would highly recommend Dr. Bedrock and his staff to anyone who needs any oral surgery. It was practically like going to a spa, I felt pampered and well taken care of.

I thought I didn’t have wisdom teeth because i never had problems with them. Then I had dental ex-​rays done after 7 years of not having dental insurance only to find that I had all four of them… and they were all impacted! My dentist said I should get them removed because two of them were very close to my teeth, so close in fact that they would start effecting my other teeth if not dealt with.
Dr. Bedrock was refereed to me after five other oral surgeons didn’t match up with my dental and health insurance. His staff was really nice but he was very arrogant and talked down to me.
–First off he told me that he didn’t think I should get them taken out and he didn’t want to perform the surgery because it would be difficult.
–Second he told me I should have gotten them taken out sooner when I was younger (apparently i have a time machine and at the age of 27 I am old)
–Third he told me I should go home and do research on the surgery if i really want to do it (I was already in his office wasn’t I?)
–Fourth (THE MOST INSULTING THING OF ALL!) His direct words: «Are you married?» me: «No», him «SO you live with your parents?» me «No, I live by myself» him: «I really think you should talk to someone about this before you make this decision.» What I gathered from that is as a 27 year old female I should either be under my parents rules or my husbands because I can’t/shouldn’t make decisions on my own.
With all of that I decided that my unmarried, non-​parental supervised, old 27 year old mouth would go somewhere else. And do you know what the next oral surgeon said to me when i went in his office after looking at my teeth, «I don’t know what your schedule is like, but we can probably get you in as soon as a week from today if you would like.»

Okay seriously– the staff is really really friendly and Dr. Bedrock is great! I went in to have my wisdom teeth removed and after he looked at my x-​rays he explained why I shouldn’t have them removed because of possible nerve damage and losing feeling in my mouth. I was really shocked– I mean, this is how the guy makes his money and he was very honest about everything. I would really recommend this Doctor to anyone.

Ok, first, I need to give points to Dr. Bedrock for his last name. I mean, seriously. Awesome.
I went to Dr. Bedrock several years ago to have two wisdom teeth removed. As I’ve mentioned in previous reviews, medical stuff scares the crap out of me and makes my tummy want to show you all of the lovely things that are in it. Thus, I was a huge wreck in the days leading up to the surgery and the morning of.
During my initial consultation and looksee, Dr. Bedrock had advised me that someone needed to drive me to and from my surgery. He also explained what would happen during the procedure and what I could expect afterwards. I had asked if I could be put under for the surgery, since I knew I would freak out if I had to stay awake even if I was numb. Dr. Bedrock’s staff told me that the gross-​smelling gas was available, but they checked with my insurance and the insurance wouldn’t cover it; I would have to pay for that out of pocket (about $ 200) but it was SO worth it for me personally. In addition, they suggested a health-​based credit account that would help me make payments on my surgery (They got nothing from this; they just knew their patients had experienced good things through this credit company for large bills).
On the day of the surgery, I leaned on my then-​boyfriend for transport. After we arrived, it wasn’t long before I was whisked into the surgery room, where an assistant reminded me exactly what would go down. She was quite kind, as she held my hand, turned on the oldies radio station and started the gas. I remember Dr. Bedrock coming in soon after that, and then boom, I was konked out.
I awoke very groggy, and Dr. Bedrock helped me move from the surgery room into the recovery room, where I was encouraged to stay for as long as I needed. After a while, my boyfriend came in, and Dr. Bedrock and his staff again explained that I might have some phantom pain, that I might be groggy for the rest of the day and night and possibly longer (especially since i’m a skinny thing — and they were right!) and how to care for the new bleeding holes in my mouth (hint: lots of gauze and no modesty when your boyfriend changes the gauze for you). I indeed did nothing but say really dumb things for the next hour (I claimed that every song on the radio was by Joy Division), drool and bleed all over everything and stayed home the following day (Again, medical stuff affects me really weirdly, so I still felt light headed and tummy-​bumpy).
Having any kind of surgery definitely is not something I want ever again, but Dr. Bedrock and his staff made it as easy as possible by providing plenty of information and offering me the power to make certain decisions. In my hysterical medical state, I definitely appreciated that.

Dr. Bedrock ROCKS! He’s really down to earth and explains everything and totally made me feel comfortable about having some pretty major dental surgery. He was thoroughly helpful, and you just get a good vibe from him, like he’s really in it to help people. So, he’s good in my book. The only downside is he’s in Clayton and we live in the CWE.
