I’ve been very happy with Aurora Family Dental. Dr Ryan is the Best!! And Lori has been my hygienist for years. I love going to see her. It’s like catching up with an old friend. She’s always looking out for my dental health and I love that. I didn’t used to like going to the dentist, but these guys have changed that.
My time at Aurora family dentistry was very good. All my questions were answered and the front office staff was very helpful through some insurance issues.
I am very pleased with Aurora Family Dentistry. The services I received were professional and all the staff is helpful and supportive. I like Dr Lyke
Hygienist was great. Cleaned and polished teeth a made me feel comfortable as she did it. Doctor was an amazing, first time in my almost 75 years of life I did not feet the little pinch as the call it when getting my shot. Great experience!!
Highly recommend - very professional dentist and staff. I was impressed with the modern equipment being used. The initial consultation included digital imaging of my teeth profile and creating a 3D image to see every aspect of my teeth and gums from different angles and to be able explain the areas of concern and recommendations that would maintain and prevent future problems.
