A Life-Changing Dental Experience with Dr. Bay and Smile Rehab! After seeing two other dentists for intense pain in two of my molars—both of whom failed to diagnose the issue correctly—I finally visited Dr. Bay at Smile Rehab, and I’m beyond grateful that I did. Dr. Bay took a meticulous and thorough approach, starting with X-rays, 3D imaging, and a careful physical examination, ultimately providing the correct diagnosis that the previous dentists had missed. My treatment plan involved removing an old root-canaled molar that had re-infected, placing an implant, and eventually restoring it with a crown. Surgical Precision & Cutting-Edge Technology After a week of targeted medication to manage pain and inflammation, Dr. Bay proceeded with the initial surgery, which lasted around three hours. She expertly removed the molar, taking great care to preserve the already weakened jawbone so it could support an implant. What truly impressed me was how she integrated technology into the procedure. After fresh imaging, Dr. Bay worked with Yomi, the robotic-assisted dental system, to determine the exact type, size, depth, and angle for the implant. As an electronics engineer and a tech-savvy person, I was absolutely blown away by how seamlessly technology and human expertise combined to ensure precision. With her team's assistance, the robot drilled precise pilot holes before inserting the implant flawlessly. Pain-Free Recovery & Exceptional Care I expected to experience significant discomfort post-surgery, especially given the length and complexity of the procedure. To my astonishment, I barely felt any pain—not even that same afternoon! I was completely off pain relievers within 24 hours, something I never thought possible. Dr. Bay’s follow-up care was equally thorough and thoughtful. She checked my sutures after a week, decided to keep them a bit longer for added security and eventually removed them 2 weeks post surgery. Three months later, after confirming everything had healed perfectly, she made a tiny incision to cap the implant, have her team take digital measurements, helped me choose the perfect shade for a seamless match and sent my crown order to the lab. Within three weeks, my crown arrived, fit first time right, treatment was complete, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. A Truly Unmatched Dental Team Beyond Dr. Bay’s unparalleled knowledge, surgical skill, and pain management expertise, the entire team at Smile Rehab is fantastic. Leslie and Abigail are top-notch dental assistants, and everyone in the office is a joy to interact with. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail make every visit an absolute pleasure. Final Thoughts If you are looking for a highly skilled, compassionate, and technologically advanced dentist, Dr. Bay at Smile Rehab is the one. My experience from diagnosis to crown placement was nothing short of exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of outstanding dental care.
