Within the last few years I saw Dr. Hornby because of roughness on the backside of my one top front tooth and after he examined my teeth he told me the top front tooth had a hole on the backside. I did have some other cavities and he wanted me to go to a sedation dental office, why I'm not sure (I do have limited mouth opening and anxiety). I have since seen a different dentist and his dental assistant told me my mouth opening isn't that bad and that they have patients who are worse and can't even open as far as I can. He knew I was concerned about that tooth, so given that he knew the condition of that tooth and the fact that I have anxiety, why as a doctor would he not at least have asked me if I'd like him to at least fix that tooth being as I was already there. I ended up leaving his office with more concern and anxiety around my tooth, was not impressed! Sometime after my appointment with Dr. Hornby a piece of that front tooth broke off which has now caused me much more anxiety which I wouldn't be having to deal with right now if he just would've fixed (or tried to fix) that tooth in the first place. He shouldn't have been looking at my whole mouth and the fact that I had multiple cavities and suggesting sedation he should have focused on the main reason I was there which was because of that top front tooth. I'm now seeing a different dentist he has not recommended sedation at all and he does know about my anxiety and limited mouth opening but now that top front tooth currently has infection and is needing root canal and this all could have been prevented if Dr. Hornby would have just focused on that tooth and tried to fix it at the time I was at his office. I will never recommend this dentist because anybody with anxiety for example he'll end up making it worse!

Dr. Kyle Hornby's response
Hi Kathryn,

I saw you on February 4th, 2020 (roughly 3.5 years ago) about your tooth and you advised me that you had severe jaw soreness and stiffness on that day and it prevented us from being able to have access to place a filling. Jaw stiffness can change day-to-day and I'm glad that you visited a clinic for that tooth repair on a day when you were enjoying more jaw mobility and increased opening.

Lots can happen in 3.5 years including new decay or infection at the site of a tooth repair.

Please remember, Katherine, that we did numb the area around that tooth with the intention of repairing it over 3.5 years ago, but could not gain access due to exacerbation of your jaw stiffness and discomfort on that day. We did arrange a referral for you to have the tooth fixed.

I'm sorry that later independent events led to the need for you to have a root canal treatment on that tooth. Tooth pain is never fun and I'm sorry you're experiencing that challenge.

I also wanted to say thanks for following me over 3.5 years ago when I moved to my new clinic. It was nice to catch up with you on that day.

I wish you all the best Katherine and hope that you are doing well, my friend.

I give 5 stars to everything in Enamel Republic! Dr. Kyle is an exceptional dentist and this comes from a person who has visited plenty of dental clinics worldwide. Outstanding! I had an emergency root canal surgery a week ago but my initial dental clinic was too busy to prioritize my oral health. Then I found Dr. Kyle Hornby. He was quick to get on it and I was able to get the root canal surgery the same day I first visited the clinic. He is a very caring doctor who worries about the pain and oral health of his patients. He thoroughly explained the procedure that had to be done, a remarkable model of rectitude and competence. A very knowledgeable, informative, and friendly person.

The dental assistant was very personable and comforting. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I can thereby say that this is the best dental clinic I've ever been in and I would highly recommend this place to my family and friends!

If you want to find a dental clinic that makes you feel right at home, go to Enamel Republic and see Dr. Kyle Hornby and his friendly staff! Again, highly recommended!

Kyle and his unsurpassed staff of Enamel Republic are real professionals.The friendly vibe will surround you when entering and stay with you while you are there and also if you need to call back. This doesn’t happen everywhere. I felt I had to follow Kyle when he chose to open his own practice. I’m not one to write reviews but feel compelled to spread the fact of how a humble expert can dial down what traditionally has been a scary experience to a positive one, all the while doing such a level of dentistry that I’ve never found or realized elsewhere.

Through the upheaval of the last couple of years Kyle has maintained his same attitude. After many years of customer service I know I have learned a few things about real interaction and how you can’t really fake it. It’s what it’s all about at Enamel Republic; top notch dentistry and a positive experience.


Thanks Kyle,


Brian.

Let me start by saying WOW! I have never met a dentist that puts me at ease as much as Dr. Kyle Hornby. My previous work/extractions required me to be sedated. Kyle has such a wonderful tempermant and his primary concern during the whole appointment is your well being and comfort. His staff are amazing!
