I had two teeth pulled. And they were so great. It was fast and painless. Had a great experience. I would highly recommend them. And will go back if need too.

Would definitely recommend, caring kind people. The dentist don't just rip your teeth out. They talk to you the whole time constantly checking if something hurts or if you're okay. Great overall experience. Keep it up guys!

AAHHHH!! A DENTIST WHO CARES! This took my entire life to be able to say this, but in the last few days I've received treatment from two separate dental facilities (Benson Family Dentistry referred me here for my #2 & #15 extractions) that showed every bit of care you would expect from your own mother. I have Autism, EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), and severe POTS, and I have hyper-sensory sensitivities from all of these; I process anaesthetic extremely quickly and take more than usual to truly numb me all the way down; the lights all give me anxiety and headaches while tilted; and I get anxious whether or not they're paying any attention to me if they take too long to check in with meusually while chatting with their assistant with a dremel in my mouth and spit and bone piling up in my soft palate and throat. I don't have a "fear" or anxiety of dental *work* but dentists are usually absent-minded, rushed, and less-cautious about BBP and cross-contamination than my tattooist or piercer of choice, in my experience in Omaha. Plus I have a history of every single drilling experience resulting in at least one moment of that particular hellish pain which accompanies the also-hellish smell of the drill when they touch your root and the anaesthetic isn't doing enough. For the first time ever, I walked out without that experience! Dr. Nathan McConnell was not only familiar with EDS and its symptoms (rare!), but has had experience with us Zebras in the past and shared his expectations before my procedure actually began (although "my mileage varied" bc I play every level of life on Hard Mode, apparently). He voiced all his concerns and plans, and gave me ample time to numb upeven using topical before the needles to help alleviate the application pain. All of this was SO APPRECIATED and something I've never had before in my long history of dental issues from severe bruxism, autistic repetition substantiations, and assumed underlying genetic problems. I never felt any sharp pain or nerve pain, at all, and was strapped to a blood pressure monitor throughout the procedure to keep an eye on everything with my POTS. The first one was done in just over 5 minutes, but the second was a bit of an issue and he recovered it all in about 20 mins. Although that one gave up a fight (it was shattered & mostly rotten away already), requiring a 1mm hole in my sinus to get the last piece, he checked in very frequently and let me know what was going on instead of just bantering away to his coworker as I'm so used to everywhere else I've been. He was unquestioning and without rudeness when I turned down the opiate painkillers due to a personal history of SUD, and prescribed me some heavy ibuprofen and acetaminophen instead. It was very nice not to feel judgement about this, as a previous clinician actually re-recommended that I reconsider them over my refusal "because they're the best thing for the job. Tylenol just won't cut it," and I had a relapse experience because I was handed my old existential crutch of choice. Nothing of the sort here, not even a condescending tone or sigh. They had 80's music playing (big plusautotune would've grated on my mood) and the atmosphere was generally light, even despite my having mixed up my confirmed 8am appointment time and probably causing them a headache (Spectrum disorder problems... Sorry again!). I honestly have little to no visible swelling as of 13 hours from appointment (edit: 24* and still nothing), and the pain is fully managed between the ibuprofen and acetaminophen every 5th hour. I'm thoroughly impressed with his work. 12/10 would recommend! Dr. McConnell: you deserve much more than whatever my state Medicaid did for you. You've returned my ability to eat eithout pain, allow me to do the same: Consider this an offer for a free private chef consultation & labor for an event of your choosing. I have 15 years in all-scratch farm-to-table work, particularly with handmade pasta and sourdoughs (incl. Neapolitan pizza). My number is in your file.
