I can’t say enough good things about this dentist office! Everyone you interact with is kind and personable. My hygienist, Jessica, was the best I’ve ever had! She was very attentive and took the time to explain everything to me clearly. Dr. Scruggs was great— very nice and cares about the details. Can’t wait to return.
They’re amazing!! I went to another dentist earlier the same day that said I’d need a crown for the tooth I cracked. It wasn’t until after their exam that they told me they didn’t take my specific plan for insurance. So I left there and called Scruggs who got me in the same day. Dr. Rae saw me and said that it only needed a filling, not a whole crown which literally saved me THOUSANDS. I was in and out in less than an hour. Couldn’t be more grateful! I’ll definitely be switching over to them! Oh and the filling is flawless. Can’t even tell it’s not my tooth!
Office did a crown that broke 13 months later. Was told they only have a year warranty and was SOL. Have multiple crowns, implants, and other dental work done and never had an issue like this. The staff is great but standing behind your work is just as important!
I have nothing but good things to say about Scruggs Dentistry. The atmosphere was welcoming. My hygenist was gentle and thorough and
Everyone was so nice especially my dental hygienist, she was amazing and very communicative throughout the duration of the service. Dr. Scruggs was very nice as well and help me create a plan to keep my teeth healthy. Service was a 10/10
