I first went to Dr. Couzens for a routine checkup and cleaning. I also had requested a consultation for porcelain veneers. Dr Couzins was very nice, but I did not get my teeth cleaned that day because we began the appointment talking about the possibility of lumineers and ran out of time before her next patient appointment. Her dental higenist at the time was not pleasant to be around, she was very pushy and a know it all type. of personality. However, Dr. Cousins quite the opposite. She was very thourough and confident. She had the best bedside manner that I have ever had with a doctor. It was obvious that she was well educated and up to date with all new procedures. My only complaint about my first visit is that I did not get my teeth cleaned, which is the main reason I went.The office environment was spectacular! Everything was high tech and well kept. Leaving the office that day I felt very confident that Dr. Cousins would be able to give me the desirable results I was wanting, however I was not happy that my teeth weren't cleaned. Instead I left in the same condition that I arrived in. The only thing we really accomplished was the discovery of 3 small cavities.
rysI Searched the internet for the best doctor in danville, because my past dentist never seemed to answer my questions or satisfy my needs. Dr. Cousins seemed to be highly recommended and much more modern than her local competition. My first appointment to have my teeth cleaned and tallk about possible solutions to a couple gaps and rigid teeth from years of grinding. I was dissapointed that that my appointment seemed to be more focused on the possibility of veneers than getting my teeth cleaned. I actually never got my teeth cleaned that day because of the time taken to talk about vaneers. Since then I have been back 5 times. Doctor Cousins is the friendliest doctor I have ever known, but I feel like she tells you what you want to hear more than the actual reality of expectations. It has been 7 months since I first went there; I finally got my teeth cleaned and cavities filled after 4 visits, but we still had a long way to go before I would be satisfied with the vaneers. She sent my moldings into her first choice of labs to create my vaneers three times before she admitted that he was not doing a very good job. So she sent the molding into a different doctor who was supposed to be more well known for his work, but his work required more money than the first lab. After 7 months and 5 failed attempts to get a satisfactory outcome; I have decided to hold out on the vaneers and maybe try a different doctor in the future. Overall Dr. Cousins is a well educated, very talented and polite dentist, I Just wish she used a more skilled lab to create the molds that are supposed to show you what the vaneers would look like. I didnt think the model looked like it had been given much effort or attention to detail. After 7 months and 5 different tries, I gave up on dr. Cousins for veneers. For someone who is just wanting general dental work done, Dr. Cousins couldn't be better. She made me feel important, she was a very good listener and never made me feel like I was wrong about anything. My belief is that her affiliated companies doing work for her are the reasons for any problems.
