5 /5 Liv Belfiore: If you’d told me a few months ago that I’d actually look forward to going to the dentist, I would’ve assumed you’d lost your mind. For context: my last dentist was so terrifying that at 19, I fled the dental world entirely and stayed away for eight years. But at 27, my teeth gave me the ultimatum: “Fix us, or we’re out.” Enter Dr. Bang, the man who somehow managed to turn my dental horror story into a redemption arc.
Dr. Bang and his team are absolute rockstars. They explain every step, check in constantly to make sure I’m not spiraling, and are so gentle that I actually stay relaxed in the chair (which is basically a dental miracle). I’m not saying I’m throwing confetti on my way to the office, but I’m definitely not hiding under my bed anymore.
And the results? I feel like a whole new person. My confidence is through the roof—I can’t stop smiling at people, and apparently, it’s contagious. Even my friends and coworkers have started commenting on it, which is the polite way of saying, “Damn, your teeth look good!”
Now, as someone without dental insurance, I was fully prepared to sell a kidney to pay for all the work I needed. But Dr. Bang’s pricing is refreshingly reasonable—less than the local dental school, and the experience is light-years better.
Bonus points for the calming classical music they play during appointments. It’s like a dental spa—if spas involved drills and suction tubes, but you somehow still walked out feeling great.
If you’re terrified of dentists, scarred by past experiences, or just looking for someone who’s genuinely awesome at what they do, call Dr. Bang. He didn’t just fix my teeth; he restored my faith in dentistry. And honestly? That might be the biggest miracle of all.
