The short version: My teeth have always been JACKED UP and Clear Lake Dental gave me a smile I can actually enjoy 😁. The long version: When I was a kid I lived in a small country town (not great health care or dental available), at 12 years old the local dentist told my family that my 4 front teeth needed to be removed and porcelain veneers put in. The many dentist that I have been to as an adult all say that they have never heard of veneers being put in that young 🤷‍♀️ so idk how "necessary" it really was 🙄 anyways...that dentist put in HORRIBLE veneers! They were huge and when I mentioned how big they were, the dentist said "Oh, that's because as you age, you'll grow into them"...spoiler...I definitely did not. They were giant and crooked for 13 years before they finally started getting loose. The teeth under the veneers (that had been shaven down) were starting to crack underneath which gave the veneers nothing to hold onto. I went to your regular castle dental type of dentist when I noticed they were loose. I was SO worried that if any fell out then I would look so dumb. I begged the dentist to address and fix the problem as soon as possible to avoid me having to walk around with any gaps...that dentist told me "Oh we see teeth much more loose than this and they stay in for weeks or months longer!" ...my tooth fell out that weekend 🤦‍♀️ Needless to say that I realized my situation needed someone with more "specialized" care than an average dentist. So I went to Clear Lake Dental. They were AMAZING 👏 . After my previous experiences I had horrible dentist anxiety but they were so informative and gental that it was actually a pleasant experience. I knew I wouldn't be able to afford to replace my veneers with more veneers so we decided on a denture flipper. I love it! I think my smile looks sooo much better and it fits well and is easy to take in and out. I'm even able to eat with it in. I only remove it to sleep and then pop it back in in the morning.

I had a great experience at this dental office. Dr. Acevedo did an excellent job with my tooth extraction .She was gentle, skilled, and made the whole process much easier than I expected. Her assistant, Mandy, was also wonderful. She made me feel attended to, reassured, and comfortable throughout the visit. I truly appreciate the care and professionalism from both of them and would highly recommend this office!

I’ve been going to this place for years and I’ve never had a bad experience until now. I go for my cleanings twice a year but I needed a filling this time. Dr. Tajdin provides comprehensive care and treats every patient with empathy and compassion.” I was not met with compassion. She was extremely unkind. She did not understand that visiting the dentist can be a stressful experience for many people. She did not connect with me and she didn’t ensure I was comfortable with the care I received. Her assistant, however, was an angel who held my hand and pat my hand. I wish I would’ve gotten her name. That being said, I will not be returning.
