Carol was the best hygienist ever!! She’s so kind, explains everything and very personable. Liz at the front desk is also so kind and helpful!! Plus you can watch the birds come to the feeders while getting your teeth cleaned 🦷😁
Do not go to this place. I was referred here by the VA. I can’t remember the name of my dentist here but he was terrible. First he “filled a cavity” the first cavity I’ve ever had, but I had no pain before I came in. Now it hurts to chew on that side. I have two fillings on my front teeth that other dentists have had no problem repairing, but he filed down more of my real teeth and the fillings are immediately chipping and coming apart, not to mention overlapping. I used to easily get floss between my two front teeth, now it’s painful. They also had zero regard for my actual appointment times, I was late to work twice despite scheduling the appointment hours before my shift started. Many times I would lay there in an awkward position with my mouth open while they would go into another room, I would choke on my own saliva constantly because the assistant couldn’t suction correctly— just so many bad things to say about this place. Awful, awful experience.
I had an excellent visit at Dental Arts. My hygienist, Carol, was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and informative throughout my visit. Dr. Chespak provided a thorough examination and walked me through my personalized treatment plan step-by-step, which made me feel confident and well cared for. Everyone in the office (Michelle and Jada) was welcoming and professional, creating a comfortable and supportive environment from start to finish. If you’re looking for an awesome dental office, search no more—Dental Arts is the place to go.
You will notice that this dental office is exceptional from the time you walk in and are greeted by the lovely Gia who is so warm and welcoming, to the time she says “goodbye, see you next time”. The office decor and cleanliness are impeccable. Dr. Chespak is friendly, easy to communicate with and thorough when explaining possible procedures needed. The effervescent Jada works diligently with the insurance so as to be able to let us know the exact amount we owe for services rendered. Mo did an excellent job on deep cleaning my teeth and all the while making sure I was comfortable. Thank you for being such caring staff! You are so appreciated! 5⭐️’s
Carol was absolutely amazing! Taught me more in one hour than I’ve learned in my 27 years. Very highly recommend this place! I hadn’t been to the dentist in 2 years but this experience was everything I needed. Thank you!!
