Honestly, I’ve had the total opposite happen—my dentist was super technical and barely cracked a smile, but he answered every weird question I had (and there were a lot). I actually kinda liked the no-nonsense approach. Maybe it’s just luck of the draw?

Funny, I used to think I wanted a super friendly dentist, but after a few implant consults, I realized I preferred the ones who were straight to the point. My current dentist is a bit dry, but he explains every step and doesn’t sugarcoat anything, which helps with my anxiety. One thing I always ask is for a breakdown of the whole process—timeline, pain levels, costs, even what happens if something goes wrong. Did your dentist walk you through all that, or did you have to push for details?
Yeah, I had to nudge my dentist a bit for specifics. He’s efficient but not super chatty, so I just ask straight up about pain, cost, and what could go sideways. I’d rather know everything up front—even if it’s a little blunt. Did you get clear answers right away or did you have to keep pushing?
