Practice Profile Page

Let me start by staying that the staff and dr are super friendly. I had my teeth clean today by Gina and she did an awesome job super gentle when cleaning. Dr did a check up and was super amazing with explaining all kinds of things! Overall the environment was phenomenal! Will definitely be going for all dental work and cleanings.

Everyone I’ve had the pleasure of meeting at Emerson Avenue Dental have been beyond accommodating, personable, knowledgeable, and exude amazing customer service, from Dr. Bacsa, to the hygeinists, and the receptionists. My fillings far exceeded my expectations and look like beautiful, normal teeth,also and my cleaning and X-rays were enjoyable (yes, enjoyable!) also. I also appreciate that appointment reminders are given via email and text, the office calls to check up on me, and I’m certain that if I have an issue in the future that all staff will go out of their way to ensure my satisfaction and great care. I work in HR for a medical practice and I’d gladly hire any employee I’ve come into contact at Emerson Avenue Dental, and appreciate that everyone seems to love their coworkers and what they do! Couldn’t recommend more highly

Dr. Bacsa is the consummate professional. He explains everything to you and takes the time to make you feel like you’re his only patient. I drive from the northside (Broadripple area), and obviously location was not a factor in my decision to choose Dr. Bacsa for all of my dental needs. His staff is 2nd to none, and you won’t be disappointed with the service, atmosphere, and knowledge that you’ve made the right decision. Bill Manning

Dr. Basca is a wonderful dentist and really cares about patients, even if they are not his. My regular dentist is on vacation and of course my crown decides to pop off. I had called the dentist that is supposed to be filling in twice and have had no reply at all. I spoke to a person each time and they both stated that they could not get into the scheduling system and this was three days apart. Lucky for me my dentist’s receptionist was in and was able to find me a place to go that charges about the same as mine and is just as good as mine. Thank you Dr. Basca and staff for being so kind and offering services when my dentist is away.

Okay, settle in. This will be lengthy. Let me start by saying my anxiety associated with the dentist stems from my second childhood dentist drilling and filling teeth that didn’t even originally have cavities in them. The ones that did, he basically drilled to the nerve, and didn’t bother to let my parents know what the fallout would be for that. I began having teeth die when I was about 16. If you’ve never had a tooth die, I’ll say this; the mother-of-three dentist I had when it happened said she’d rather go through natural labor twice over than ever have a tooth die again. That childhood “doctor” has since lost multiple malpractice suits. Turns out, when the insurance is good, you can perform unnecessary procedures to pocket the extra money. That forever made me VERY untrusting of dentists. Anytime one says anything about needing anything more than a cleaning, I’ll end up paying for a second opinion, because when you have a head full of unnecessary fillings, leading to root canals and crowns, you tend to prefer more than one person tell you the same thing. FF to about a month ago… I went in for my initial visit to Bacsa Family Dental. They took about 20+ X-Rays, including a panoramic one. They took brightly lit, close-up pictures of literally EVERYTHING the hygienist (Ashley) thought Dr Bacsa might remotely think needed attention. If I had a question about why they thought something needed done, it was answered without hesitation. They walked me through every X-Ray and picture one-by-one. I wasn’t expected to just take a stranger’s word for it. Yesterday, I went in for my first appointment to make corrections. I didn’t know how I felt about three different people performing tasks I’d only ever had the dentist do. I begin my normal deep breathing and tearing up before the bib even got clipped on. Kelly (assistant) halted right there. I was asked if I’d rather be sedated. Music to my ears! If it weren’t for the fact that I had a tooth breaking around a filling that I’ve been trying to get fixed since July, I would have delayed the appointment, and had them knock me out at a later date. That was about as smooth as working on four teeth could have been. Those three individuals had assigned tasks, and from start to finish, the only time I was left alone was when they were waiting for the Novocaine to take full effect. They listened to me when I said my body pumps Novocaine out rapidly, so they used enough to make sure they wouldn’t have to stop mid-procedure. When the doctor came in to begin drilling, Kelly asked if I’d like to try a bite block to help hold my mouth open. That was also a game-changer. That little change gave me one less thing to worry about while they were working. I was able to actually RELAX while I had my mouth propped open. I was then asked repeatedly if I’d like to take a break. NOPE! Just get it done. When I did feel pain while Dr Bacsa was drilling, he backed off, and used a different bit at a slower speed, instead of injecting more meds. He chose to take longer for my comfort instead of a quick fix. That has never happened for me. All of the little things added up to a visit that I will never forget in the best way possible. I absolutely cannot speak highly enough about the level of care this office gives its patients; right down to offering to hold my hand. I didn’t take them up on it, but I know they would have done it without a second thought. My ONLY suggestion would be to add hooks in the bathroom stalls in the women’s restroom. Small taters compared to complaints I’ve had at other dentists’ offices. 🙂
