So I knew I needed a filling replaced and was putting it off because I hate that ill-fitting tempory filling dentists use while the mold that will actuallu fit the interior of your tooth is being made. Dr. Oates introduced me to the tools and universe of modern dentistry. My old dentist in Manhattan Beach did not have digital xray machines(exposes you to far less radiation), and the abiltiy to make the filling in five minutes! I felt like I was in a sci-fi movie: Dr.Oates put a camera attached to a small probe all around and in the inner cavity of my tooth that took hundreds of photos. This information was fed to a screen in front of me where i could view intense CGI images of my tooth from every angle. The information was also feed to a miling machine where I was able to watch my filling being made in five minutes! Wow! I am a busy person and having one less appointment is huge. And Dr. Oates is a likable MCHS and USC grad. I highly reccomend!
