About Taylor Dental
A go-to office for young children and multi-kid families getting braces, though many reviews report long waits at appointments.
Taylor Dental is a general dental practice that also offers traditional braces, clear aligners, and retainers, and much of the feedback centers on families bringing several children in for care over the years. Reviewers often mention a gentle approach with young kids and a chairside manner that explains procedures before starting. Scheduling is a recurring frustration, with many reviews describing multi-hour waits and appointments affected by overbooking or rescheduling.
