About Tooth Acres Dentistry

The office, a renovated barn and silo, comes up often in reviews as a memorable setting, and many describe it as a good fit for families with several children in treatment or for kids on their first visits.

Hands down and AMAZING experience!! Everyone was so kind and caring and broke down all payments in depth for me and walked through my options with my insurance!! Dr Alyssa was amazing!! She was so gentle and patient!! The lady who cleaned my teeth was an absolute gem! I wish I remembered her name because she was seriously the best!! She was kind, explained everything in depth, and beyond patient!! I am so thankful for my experience! I have truly never had a cleaning so thorough! I appreciate it and will be back for sure!!

This practice is fantastic! From the moment you walk in the door, you can see their commitment to welcoming you into the practice. Aubrey was by far the most knowledgeable and amiable hygienist I’ve ever met, and the assistant who helped her with charting was great as well. It’s clear the practice hires for excellence. Dr. Fisher joined Aubrey and me after all imaging, charting, and cleaning were performed. She took the time to be properly introduced to me by Aubrey before diving into evaluating my teeth and creating a treatment plan. All of my questions were answered, and I left the office with a strong understanding of Dr. Fisher’s recommendations and next steps. The receptionist, whose name escapes me, was also fantastic and very helpful. I tend to pay closer attention to what healthcare businesses do well in terms of client/patient experience than most people would, and I was very impressed. I am so happy I found this practice. Excellent job, Tooth Acres team!
