My whole family goes to Waveland family dental. I recently brought my one and four year olds in for visits and was so impressed by how they were treated by the whole staff even when they got fussy. The staff is so good with kids especially for an office that isn’t specifically a pediatric dentist!

Waveland Dental is the best. I was referred to them by a relative a year ago and there is no other dentist I would go to. My hygienist, Lori, is exceptional. She explained new tools and techniques to clean my teeth which has improved the results of my six months dental exam. Dr. Baker is very attentive and thorough. Lori and Dr. Baker provide exceptional service. My regret is that it took my 20 plus years to find this dentist office.

I'm 62 and have had a good bit of dental work done from different Dentists. I have been looking for a new dentist for a while after struggling with insurance restrictions and my previous trusted dentist had past away some years back. Kevin Baker DDS is the best I've been to. Honest, Skilled, Swift and explains as he works. Their in-house dental plan is great.The Waveland team is a awesome !

Waveland Family Dental is a fantastic dental office. Friendly staff all around, efficient, and generally an enjoyable experience for something that is not normally enjoyable. I have now been going here for about 2 years and have taken my young son and I would highly recommend to friends and family. My hygienist Lori is a perfect example how great this dental office is. She is always friendly and chats me up about the latest goings on in my family (and doesn't even shove her hands in my mouth after asking the question). Even with all of our catching up, I still feel like I'm in and out of there quickly because she is so efficient and experienced. Dr. Baker is also very friendly and great with children! If you're looking for a new dental office, I highly recommend you give this office a call.

My family and I have been going here since Dr Baker has had the practice and we would never go anywhere else! He’s incredible. And Laurie is the best! I’ve personally been going to her since before Dr Baker owned the practice, and I wouldn’t dream of having someone else work on my teeth!
