Barry C Armet, DMD

Dr. Armet is an excellent dentist. His is very proficient at his artisanship of caring for a patient’s dental needs. His staff is guick, efficient and will present you for your dental appointment in a short period of time. Let’s be frank, he does not waste your time or co-​payment value. I have had many dentists, but he is a fully qualified general dentist who will provide excellent dental care. He practices with the latest technologies, and takes a genuine concern with the patient’s tolerance for pain. I continue to get good care from Dr. Armet and his staff, but they are not a cosmetology clinic. Difficult patients, who need special care, should seek a boutique dentist, who offers gas, music relaxation and massages elsewhere.

I have been going to Dr. Armet for many years. Because I did not have dental insurance, I had not seen a Dentist in over 7 years. Dr. Armet and Deb, his hygienist, were recommended to me by a friend and boy, do I owe her! It took Deb two visits to CLEAN my teeth and Dr. Armet had to fix a couple old cavities. I was thrilled, I didn’t feel a thing. He put a crown in and with no pain! I now go every 6 months and have learned tidbits on how to keep my gums & teeth in good shape and clean. Thank you, Dr. Armit, Deb & Liz and all the other people there (don’t know their names).

Ahh, my buddy Barry. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
1. He was horrified the first time I came in. Not because of anything I had done, but because of the mess my last dentist had left. I started going to Dr. Armet when I was about 17. During my first visit, he makes a comment about the crazy amount of cement still left on my teeth from when I had my braces. He asks how long ago I had them taken off, thinking my answer was going to be sometime in the recent past. My answer: 4 years ago. He couldn’t believe my old dentist left it all there for so long. He then took the time to try to remove it. Now I have fun spots on my teeth from all that cement that had been there for like 6 or 7 years.
2. What? You’re not supposed to feel like you’re in a torture chamber when you’re at the dentist? Who knew? Not me, that’s for sure. At least until I started seeing Barry. So he’s drilling my teeth, and I’m flinching.
Dr: Can you feel that?
Me: Yes.
Dr: Why didn’t you say something?
Me: What? I’m not supposed to be able to feel anything?
Dr: Of course not, tell me when you feel it, and we’ll numb you right up.
Me: Really?
I was a kid when I started seeing my first dentist. It was my only experience. I had no idea that wasn’t just how things were supposed to be. Apparently the first dentist was cool with all the pain, crying, and screeching because he was hitting unnumbed nerves with the freaking tools. Thanks, man.
3. I no longer live out this way. But I still see Barry. Sometimes people are surprised that I’d want to drive out there for the dentist. If they read this, they might understand.
4. My hygenist is awesome. I’ve been seeing the same woman for years and years. She rocks. Yay, Deb.
5. Liz, the receptionist, is so nice. She gets that I’m one of those people where if I have my next appointment booked before I leave, I’ll show up at the scheduled time. If I don’t have the appointment, I’m not going to call and make one, and it’s going to be years before you see me again. Because of this, they see me every six months.
So, that’s a smattering of reasons why Barry and his crew are awesome. I’m sure there are more. But I think you get the idea.
