Many positives: great dental cleaning, Robbie is really great and friendly, reception is super nice and easy to contact. A few negatives: I felt from the moment I walked in, that the objective of coming to the dentist was to somehow change my smile. To be clear, I went to the Center for Esthetic Dentistry because they also operate as a normal dentistry, not because I wanted any cosmetic procedures. It didn't make me feel great that from day 1, they're asking to take pictures to see how they can "improve" your smile. And constant reminders of "this tooth is a little grooved" or "these teeth are crooked" when I've made it very clear that I'm not interested in corrective treatment (& I am very aware of the crooked parts of my smile--which I don't want to change). I also did not have pleasant experiences getting my cavities filled. I had pain for weeks longer than expected on two separate cavity fillings over the span of a few months. During the second filling, I alerted the dentist that I was feeling the digging around in my tooth very acutely, and she said "I know your jaw is tired" when I was very clear that the anesthetic had worn off enough that I could feel like a sharp needle piercing through my tooth. Needless to say, that tooth hurts still over 2 months later, and I have changed dentists. I have never had any issues with dentists in my life--I genuinely enjoy going to the dentist. I am sure this is a great dentistry for those seeking cosmetic procedures. However, I had a relatively unpleasant experienced stemming from (1) being constantly told in small ways that my smile was somehow aesthetically inadequate and needed to be fixed [and I am not talking about medical dental issues here, purely cosmetic reasons], and (2) my two separate cavity fillings that resulted in short- and long-term pain that has yet to resolve. Otherwise, the cleanings were great and booking appointments is easy!

I can’t say enough great things about this dental office. From the moment I walked in, I felt cared for and respected. I needed a lot of work done on my mouth, and they were incredibly patient, professional, and reassuring every step of the way. Dr. Leerch is outstanding. Her work, attention to detail, and genuine care truly made a difference for me and made the entire experience so much easier. Sherry is absolutely great — she’s kind, attentive, and really makes you feel comfortable. If you’re looking for a dental office that truly cares about their patients and delivers excellent results, I highly recommend this office.

Went to see Dr Lerch from a referral due to wanting a second opinion about a root canal. Dr Lerch and her staff are excellent! She was able to address the issue of my tooth without needing a root canal! Hands down getting a second opinion wasone of the best decisions I ever made! The experience, expertise, and customer service is superb!

Absolutely wonderful experience. Every single staff member here is so helpful and friendly. Dr. Lerch transformed my smile and made me feel so confident! I also have received regular routine cleanings here and they pay such attention to detail and are thorough about all the work they provide.

Everyone here is extremely friendly and professional! I was guided through a one-year-long Invisalign treatment patiently. One of my teeth turned out to be too stubborn to move according to the original plan, and they modified and extended my treatment without any additional price. I had dental cleaning and fillings with them as well - everything done flawlessly
