The first time I had to get fillings, ever, I went to Dr. Atlas. I needed to have three of them done and there was of course drilling involved. Based on my past experience with an orthodontist and stories I'd heard about having fillings done I was prepared to experience intense pain.
That was not the case with Dr. Atlas, not only do you not have to wait forever in his office, (I've never had to wait longer than 15 mins), he makes the experience as painless as possible.
