Orthodontic care in reviews
A handful of reviews describe Invisalign treatment here, with most reporting smooth progress and confidence-boosting results, though one mentioned gum recession from Invisalign without clear risk disclosure. Other orthodontic-related notes focus on TMJ and neuromuscular bite therapy using custom orthotic devices to address jaw pain and headaches.

Curtis did a great job with my cleaning. I had put off going to the dentist for way too long, so my cleaning was difficult. He was very patient, he had a very calm demeanor and made sure I was comfortable. The lady who scheduled me and took my payment was also very courteous and patient, not to mention very pretty.

Dr. Skinner did a great job repairing a chip in my cosmetic bonding and even got me into his schedule quickly. He is meticulous and thorough and redid it once because he didn’t like the color match. I appreciate his perfectionism so I can have a beautiful smile.

Thank you Excellence in Dentistry and Dr. Fox for helping with my snoring! I have tried various things to help remedy my snoring (including surgery, nasal strips, nasal sprays) and nothing has helped. I came across Nightlase therapy here at Excellence in Dentistry and it has been the only treatment I have found that has actually reduced the frequency & intensity of my snoring. Even from the first session, my family has noticed a big difference. The staff here are wonderful and so kind and professional. 10/10 would recommend Nightlase therapy and Excellence in Dentistry! THANK YOU!

I do not recommend this office. The risks of Invisalign were not explained to me before treatment, and I have since experienced significant gum recession. Had I been given more complete information I would have never got Invisalign as it was only cosmetic.
