About Scruggs Family Dentistry

Dr. Scruggs draws attention for calming anxious patients through complex work and catching a cyst other dentists missed, backed by same-day emergency care.

Dr. Scruggs comes up often for handling patients with dental phobia and more involved procedures like crowns and implants, with numbing and conversational distraction noted as ways of easing discomfort. This is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, traditional and clear braces, and clear aligners. Same-day emergency appointments and quick turnaround on toothaches are mentioned repeatedly, and one reviewer describes the practice identifying a cyst that had been overlooked elsewhere.

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!
