Dental and cleaning were very professional. Prices are high. Said it would cost $50,000 for implants and $12,000 for dentures. I switched dentists.

Tricky wisdom tooth + bleeding gums! I am new to this area, found this office and highly pleased with the thorough, honest and friendly office. The office is welcoming and helped me in my time of need! Story: I struggled with left cheek/tooth pain for 2 days, so found this office here on google, called to make my appt, which they took me in the next day! The office is clean and straight to the point. I waited about 10 mins and was taken to the back chair. I explained that I could not pin point the tooth, but my check and face was hurting for 2 days. They took many pictures at many angles with a canon camera which was different, then a CT scan around my head, then X-rays. The comforting and experienced nature of the staff definitely eased my anxiety around all I was going through. Dr Duke came shortly after, professional, friendly, thorough in his questions and a great listener. My mystery pain, was hard to pin point, in the 1st visit, because it turned out he found a sinus infection revealed in the CT scan. Dr Duke suggested it was best to go home with antibiotics, clear up the sinus infection, and come for a 2nd appt a few days later to see if we could pin point which tooth was causing the pain more accurately. It seemed to be between 3 different teeth, so he didn’t just guess and remove teeth without being absolutely sure! The 2nd appt came, and I told him the pain was worse despite antibiotics, so he did some poking and feeling, and finally he figured out it was the wisdom tooth, however the pain was referring to the two teeth in front of it! Crazy because I could’ve sworn it was the one by it at first! After the poking he did to figure this out, my pain came back, and he numbed me right away to ease it. Since I had been experiencing general bleeding in my gums for about 2 weeks, his plan for me was to get a cleaning while I was numb, and then extract the wisdom tooth after. Beryl, the hygienist, cleaned my soul! Lol. She is no joke, seriously, hands down the best hygienist I’ve ever had, huge difference from others right away. She’s so intense, and I could tell she was a perfectionist is cleaning my teeth bc she took her time, and was comforting during the process, making sure I was okay during the cleaning which can sometimes feel intense. I had a lot of tarter and she would use numbing cream if I felt tender in certain areas. I had general bleeding, so Beryl was an essential part of this process! They gave me an electric toothbrush and she showed me how to use it accurately and an anti microbial mouth rinse to use until it’s done. So all in all, excellent cleaning, and mystery pain solved and resolved! The extraction happened immediately after some more numbing, and it was super quick and felt pressure but no pain! I’ve never had a wisdom pulled, so the numbing was exceptional because it did not hurt at all. I was a little sore when I was at home after it wore off a bit but they gave me some advil and that was enough. The instructions for home care were clear and accurate. Dr Duke even texted me that evening to see how I was doing. I wore the gauze the rest of the day, switched it out twice, and the next day I didn’t need gauze anymore. The bleeding stopped. I was eating and feeling like normal even though I’m still healing. The bleeding only lasted for about 12 hours. Dr Duke thabk you for becoming my new dentist and all of you angels! Sorry so long, but seriously thank you 🙏 😄

While on vacation from England I needed an emergency extraction of one of my molars. Before going ahead Dr Thurston and his team made sure there was no other option than to extract. Once we had confirmed the course of treatment we went ahead. They kept me informed and comfortable throughout my entire appointment and the extraction was quick and painless! I cannot rate them highly enough. If you’re looking for a local dentist or just need emergency treatment while in town I assure you, you cannot go wrong with this Dental Centre. Thank you Dr Thurston and all of the staff at Thurston Comprehensive Dental Centre!

My name is Lydia and I recently relocated to Florida from CT. Dental care is a very traumatic experience for me. I was referred to Thurston Comprehensive Dental Center from someone in my community. The moment I met the receptionist (Mary) I felt comfortable. She assured me that my dental experience would be a good one and she was correct. From the dental assistant to Dr. Duke the communication and ongoing procedure has been excellent. I highly recommend Thurston Comprehensive Dental to anyone in need of dental work.
