text: If you're only needing a cleaning, this is a safe bet. The hygenists are polite and do quality work. However, for fillings,it was the most painful, unpleasant,disappointing experience.\n\nI already had fillings by a dentist out of state & knew I needed one more for sure. Dr Shim wanted to do  5 fillings including replacing a few silver ones that were only a few yrs old ( That should've been the 1st clue!). I trusted and allowed 3. The anesthetic,he admitted,was too strong - numb literally to my eyeball plus I suffered bruising at the injection site.Dr Shim is very quick, deliberate, firm and has an aggressive approach. I had to make a 40 mile round trip to his other office the following morning because the original office was closed & he hallowed out so much out of the middle of the 3 teeth that it left the outside edges thin and sharp. When I got there he shaved down those sharp edges. Now when I chew food it feels like I have baby teeth there that don't do anything. When I told him these teeth are now short & my bite is uneven, his response was \"I can't control that\" and \"Well, we need to do more fillings on the other side anyway\".\n\nI sent a written complaint to the office. There was no written reply.
