Great customer service in the front . Everyone is so friendly and attentive. Made my son feel comfortable to get his treatment done. He usually gets very nervous but everyone was so nice and he took well to them . My son got fillings done.

I've been here for a few years now. I had read great reviews, but unfortunately the dentist that ran the place wasn't here anymore. The dentist there when I started going seemed to do a pretty good job, but he was a little lacking on the customer service side of things. Regardless, I kept going because he seemed to do a good job on my fillings and general dental work. After that guy left to a different place, they got another dentist, a young guy. He's nice and all, but he has done a few fillings for me and a new crown, and now, several of my teeth are extremely sensitive to hot and cold drinks... Actually, they're sensitive when I drink water (even room temperature). I gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed the sensitivity was due to how recent the work was, but it has been about a month, and I still have the same sensitivity. In the past, I have had a root canal done and several fillings from a few different dentistries, and none of them left me feeling sensitive (the sensitivity would be gone literally a day later). I'm no dentist, but I'm pretty sure he didn't get the work done as it should have been done. I'm going to be looking for a new dentistry.

I went in for a routine dental check-up, and my appointment was scheduled for 4:00 PM. Unfortunately, I was not seen until approximately 5:15 PM, which meant I had to wait over an hour past my scheduled appointment time. I found this delay to be very unprofessional and frustrating, especially without clear communication or consideration for my time. Once I was finally seen, the dentist informed me that I allegedly had five cavities, needed a crown, and required a deep cleaning. This was extremely concerning and confusing to me because I had just seen my regular dentist last month for a cleaning, and at that time, I was told that I had no cavities and there was no mention whatsoever of needing a crown or deep cleaning. Because of the major difference between these two assessments in such a short period of time, I was left feeling very uncomfortable and skeptical about the accuracy of the diagnosis I was given. It felt less like a genuine medical evaluation and more like I was being pressured into expensive and unnecessary procedures. Based on my experience, this gave the impression that the practice may be more focused on generating revenue than providing honest and trustworthy patient care. I would not recommend this dentist based on my experience. Patients should feel confident that they are receiving accurate, transparent, and ethical treatment recommendations, and unfortunately, that was not how I felt during this visit. In addition to the excessive wait time, the conflicting diagnosis raised serious concerns for me about the credibility of the services being recommended. Furthermore, I believe that patients

Honestly the best dentistry and orthodontic experience ever. I had been terrified of dentists before coming here and they have treated me with such kindness and flexibility that I love coming here every 6 weeks for ortho! I actually look forward to my cleanings! Even my wisdom teeth surgery felt seamless because of their knowledgeable sister offices. Not a single person i don’t adore in the office, and i’m sure you’ll feel the same if you give them a chance. Affordable prices, and take a wide range of insurances. You seriously can’t go wrong!
