Went in for a cleaning after *yrs and was very nervous. Dr. Ingram and his staff were not only professional, but treated me with complete respect. Ended up with just 1 filling, and some beautiful pearly whites! I will be back! Thanks

Wish my current dental insurance plan covered him. I have had nothing but pleasant experiences with this office. Wait time was always very short, friendly staff, clean office, and Dr. Ingram is great! On my first visit, I had a teeth cleaning. Dr. Ingram and staff were very welcoming, friendly and smiley. =) I have also had a permanent retainer glued back on. I had to re-wear my slip-on retainer for a couple months(ughhhh) but it was worth it. After my braces came off years and years ago, I had a permanent, wire retainer glued to the back of my upper teeth. I just did not want to wear the classic retainer, plus this was permanent, so why not? Anyway, it came off a couple times, probably because I ate a chip or something that dislodged it. The last time it came off, I never went back to my old orthodontist to have it put back on. Finally, one day, I decided I needed it again. I knew I would probably either A.) have to wear the detachable, plastic retainer to move my teeth back to their original, post-braces spots, or B.) have to get braces again. My teeth shifted after that last permanent retainer came off and I obtained a gap between my two front teeth. =( Of course, Dr. Ingram told me I had to wear the retainer for at least a few weeks. I literally bit through the pain & endured, knowing my teeth were slowly sliding back into place. Dr. Ingram finally glued on another retainer; I was so happy! The placement of the glue behind one tooth was not ideal, so my lower tooth kept hitting it and it broke off, but doc said I could go back & have it fixed for free for up to a year; good deal! He fixed it and now it feels even smoother; I don’t have a chunk of glue behind that tooth anymore. He has techniques to determine if the retainer & glue are in the right spots and can adjust accordingly. I have a custom clear tray that holds teeth whitener from years ago & the office sold me whitening gel to use for it for about $ 15. It’s a syringe & lasts for a few whitenings. I believe there are at least a couple different strengths, too, so he can recommend which one is appropriate for you. I really wish they were in my network, especially being so close to home, but I definitely recommend this place to anyone! If you decide to go, please mention me as your referral because you can get your first cleaning for $ 50 plus I would get a $ 50 credit!
