About Friendly Dentistry

Dental anxiety gets particular attention here, with a calming approach reviewers credit to Dr. Burton and same-day emergency appointments for urgent pain or broken teeth.

Friendly Dentistry is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign alongside its regular services. Reviews return again and again to how the office handles anxious patients, describing numbing gel before injections, blankets, and staff who check in frequently during procedures. Same-day or next-day emergency visits for broken teeth or crowns come up often, along with on-site lab work that lets crowns be made and fitted in one visit. Dr. Burton is mentioned most frequently and described as taking time to explain treatment plans before starting.

My son had an emergency dental need that the office was able to take him the next day as a new patient. Very accommodating office with everyone I spoke to with scheduling, billing and the work done on my son’s tooth. Would highly recommend the practice. Thank you again for an excellent experience!

So thankful Dr Wilkinson was suggested to me! I have a large complex about dental procedures and went the sedation route with him and I could not be more pleased with the the patience and care I was treated with. Both assistants I worked with were amazing and Tara is a queen too! Everyone I have encountered here is just wonderful. I absolutely suggest and will tout his praises to anyone looking for a new home for dental care.

Had my first appointment today with this team and the experience was phenomenal! I am someone who gets anxiety going to the dentist but this team made me feel at ease and relaxed! The professionals there understand their patients and their individual goals as well. I will definitely be returning and glad I found my new permanent dentist going forward.

5 Stars – Hands down the best dental experience I’ve ever had! As someone who gets very anxious about going to the dentist, finding the right team is everything. Friendly Dental Center truly lives up to its name, but Sam is an absolute star of the practice. She is genuinely amazing—calm, incredibly gentle, patient, and thoroughly reassuring from start to finish. She completely put my nerves at ease. Moving forward, I will only be booking my cleaning appointments with Sam. If you struggle with dental anxiety, do yourself a favor and request her!
