I had 4 fillings done today. Her shots and fillings are relatively painless. I always find that the noise of the tools are scarier than the procedures themself. The cost is not cheap, but if you have insurance it is affordable. This was my first visit in 3 years or so, but Dr. Agatep remembered details about me from years ago. I also had a crown put in 3 years ago and it was a pleasant experience. I had to have an emergency root canal that day and she sent me to a specialist and then fit me in for the crown last minute. You are always treated with care at this office and they have never let me down.

About Front Desk: I just graduated from college and my insurance was about to be cut off in 2 days when I got my first checkup in 3 years. I expected a couple of cavities, but turns out I needed deep cleaning for gum disease as well. The deep cleaning is performed by quadrant of teeth and it seemed like it would be impossible to finish all these procedures in 2 days. Betty at the front desk was able to fit me in on last notice. Looks like I will be able to finish filling 4 cavities and getting deep cleaning within 2 days. Betty also printed out my out of pocket costs and the amounts my insurance will cover even before going through with any of the treatments. I was more than satisfied with all of her help.

Hygiene rating:

About Hygienist: I had my first deep cleaning yesterday and found out that I have gum disease. It scared me at first, but the hygienist (Thuy) explained everything that I needed to do and she made me feel much better. She was very skilled at administering the anesthetic shot and I did not really feel the pain during the shot or after. My teeth were sensitive for a bit but after a couple of hours, they felt back to normal. She also emailed me postop instructions a couple hours after. I felt like she was knowledgeable about gum disease and was very kind and caring.

I know this doctor: about 4 years
