Absolutely amazing people. I needed an emergency tooth extraction and they got me in the same day. I could not have had a better experience.

This used to be my dentist years ago when I was younger and I always get chills thinking back to it. I once had a cavity and Dr. Sweeney wouldn’t numb me properly and I could feel every bit of them drilling in my mouth (that was the last time I ever went to his office). He’s very strange man, never gave advice on how to improve oral health, barely said hello when coming to the chair. In comparison to the dentist I’ve been going to since I left Dr. Sweeney’s practice idk how this place is still running. When I got my wisdom teeth out I met a hygienist that used to work for him and even she said he was creepy. 0/10 don’t recommend coming to this practice.
