Called around on the morning of Aug 3d because one of the teeth on my lower right side had decided to start to hurt…it also happens to be the abutment tooth that my bridge sits on. I looked for in-netwoork dentists on my insurance’s website. One practice didn’t have an appointment until the middle of Aug and then I would have had to wait for an appointment with the surgeon to extract the tooth in Sep. After some more calls, the Brentwood MINT location was able to get me in the next morning. I provided the requested information during the call, then followed the link in the welcome email and completed the forms electronically that you usually fill out at your first visit. I also called to make sure they were able to verify my dental insurance as I didn’t want any surprises in the morning.

I got here a little early. Plenty of parking in a brand new parking lot, a newly renovated small building with a new 2-story addition. When you walk in, everything is new and modern. You can have a snack and there are small bottles of water, chap stick as well, the staff is friendly and professional.

When it was time to hop in the chair, the tech listened to my issue and took x-rays of the problem area. When the dentist came in, I explained what was going on and what I would like to happen. After examining my xrays and teeth, she explained my options and that she would be able to see me in the afternoon. After agreeing on the treatment, she left and the receptionist came in with the treatment plan and cost.

Will update once I have my tooth extracted. I plan on becoming a regular patient. Already told my husband. His dentist stopped taking our insurance about 4 months ago and didn’t tell him until after the procedure.

Update: arrived back at MiNT a little after 3 for my 330, signed the consent forms for the procedure, and was called to the chair on time. The assistant had me read and sign the dry socket information and extraction aftercare instructions. She then numbed my gums in preparation for the anesthesia shots. She also let me hold her hand while the doc administered them, bcs I am terrified of needles. Doc did her thing and out came bridge and tooth. She prescribed antibiotic, but I declined ibuprofen scrip coz I still got some. I also got a laminated card with the aftercare instructions to take with me. Very thorough!

I had never heard of dry socket b4, but now I know what to do to avoid this painful condition. It can happen when you do not properly take care of the extraction site. I also made an appointment for my next cleaning in Jan. B4 then, I will stop by the practice to also post my experience to Instagram, show it to the receptionist, and get a $50 credit toward the cost of my next visit.

I know this was only my first time there, but I was in pain & intense distress and everyone at the practice appeared to be interested in getting me better. I can very much recommend MiNT Dentistry in Brentwood

Update 06/17/24: MiNT texted reminder on 06/14 that I was overdue for cleaning. Got appointment for 06/15; staff was courteous and professional as always and my teeth got a horoughly cleaning.

From the start it’s clear this place is run by individuals who do not prioritize your time or health. While it’s great to hire people that are struggling, Mint has them taking appointments and interacting with customers and visibly struggling with no management intervention. These individuals took my appointment, then called and texted me over 6 times to confirm, each time I confirmed. Then without any call, text, or other warning they cancelled my appointment the day of, so I took off work and drove all the way there for them to say they couldn’t fit me in. All the while a dentist was sitting right there looking over the receptionist shoulder. To be fair, I was happy they couldn’t fit me in because of the strong stench of bo in the lobby, but when I asked why it had been cancelled they said it was because I didn’t confirm and that they have no control over what their help desk did. Then ffwd to a week later they start non stop calling me again. I said I wasn’t willing to rebook and the uneducated phone worker screamed and then hung up the phone. So up to you, but if you want to work with the trashiest people, or go to an office that has a horrible smell, Mint may be for you. As for me, there are far too many professional providers, and my teeth mean a lot to me, so I will never return.

If you’re seeking a dentist with great ambiance, exceptional customer service, and efficient care, Mint Dentistry is the place to go! I booked my appointment the same day and was pleasantly surprised by how seamless the process was. I completed all necessary forms online and was even seen an hour before my scheduled time since I arrived early. The office is beautifully decorated and the R&B playlist, featuring both old and new tracks, created a relaxing atmosphere.

The staff were friendly and the services were efficient. I even left with a thoughtful goodie bag filled with high-quality dental essentials, a nice touch compared to the usual freebies at other practices. This was also the first time I’ve been prescribed medication by a dental provider, which showed their attention to my oral health beyond just the routine cleaning.

The only drawback was the suction device, which I nearly choked on a few times and had to adjust myself before the doctor made the necessary adjustments. This minor issue did create some discomfort, which was unusual for me as I’ve never been anxious at the dentist before.

Overall, my experience was excellent, and I’m looking forward to my next visit in six months!
