I can vouch for the place. I’d give it 5 stars. First off, clearly, the place is unique. It’s really elegant and modern looking. The people in there were really nice. (I can’t speak to the owner and his whole prayer thing according to another commenter). But they also have a drink bar where they offer to make you smoothies, lattes, coffees, and even baked goods. The furnishing is ridiculous for a dental office. Each room has a giant ass TV that you can look up at while they work on your mouth. Hospitality is wonderful, everyone is friendly and asks you if you’d like a drink. If you get a coffee, you get a free mug. Comparatively, for someone with no dental insurance, they’re actually competitively priced. I had to get a deep cleaning done and when they told me the price, I told them I’d think on it, and called a few other places. The other places told me the wait, and the price, and needing new X-rays (fuck that) would be just about as much money. So I went with them.

Here’s the selling point for me though. During that deep cleaning, I refused the numbing agent that they inject into your gums, because fuck needles in the gums, and they actually cut some of the price off. Not only that, but because the hygienist went faster than she expected, she cut a bit more of the cost off the procedure. YMMV but without me even asking for it, a deep cleaning that cost me around $3k cut down to closer to $2.5k. I’m going back for my routine cleaning in February. Not a shill but I can vouch for the place being rated 5 stars.

I wonder how dependent the taste is on the employees. I was there a week ago for the ozarks coffee trail. My cousin told me their lattes were milky, and I can confirm my matcha latte was overwhelmingly milky. My wife got a hot chocolate and it tasted a bit subdued. She once got me a cold brew and it wasn’t the best I’ve had, it wasn’t terrible, but just a tad bitter. And then my sister got a chai latte and the cinnamon or ginger was so strong that it irritated the back of our throats and we coughed almost after every sip. The atmosphere is great and would definitely just go to read and study, but I wish I had a different drink experience.
