Orthodontic care in reviews
The small number of orthodontic-specific reviews mention that the orthodontist is available only one day a week, which has caused scheduling conflicts, though one reviewer noted patient handling of a child's band and crown work.

Sorry to sound cliche but they don't sugarcoat anything they tell it like it is and basically let you know that teeth are important and need to be taken care of. They were very nice to my son and they've always been nice to me so I give them five stars from me and my son.
Dr. carpenter has been my Denist for 8 yrs. & I couldn’t be happier with him & their staff. Explains things thoroughly in a professional manner. Richard is a fantastic hygienist too.
I walked in nervous and I left with an absolutely calm peace of mind. I received the best and most informative consultation that I was not expecting. Thank you
I’ve never had an issue taking my step son to the dentist but they wouldn’t see him because I’m not bio or legal guardian they wouldn’t let him be seen. I’ve been to a few different dentists with him between here and Dayton and they’ve always let me take him. That was a little frustrating. Besides that issue everything else was good, had to wait awhile to be seen by the doctor but he was nice and friendly.
I had a very loose tooth and knew it needed to be extracted. I called Absolute who was able to see me the same day. Since I’m a nervous Nelly when it comes to dentists, I was dreading it. I’m so grateful to Absolute for the kindness and professionalism they displayed. I was seen by Dr. Carpenter who is a knowledgeable and experienced Dentist. I can’t be happier that my extraction was painless and quick. All the folks I came in contact with were knowledgeable and supportive when we communicated. Thanks Absolute. You were all great!
