The most delightful dental experience i ever had. Dental hygienist, Brittani, was kind and thorough and Dr. Chaban makes me feel so at ease, I am very anxious going to the dentist, not anymore. I highly recommend this practice!
I appreciate the diagnostic tools used in Oak Openings practice. In my experience, my dentist takes bite wing X-rays; at Oak Openings I received imaging that provided Dr Lark with a detailed, editable, three dimensional view. He is very knowledgeable and skilled, which helped me feel very comfortable and confident in the care I received. Another very significant aspect of this practice is the technical skill level of the staff, but perhaps just as important, is the atmosphere in the office. That these people work so well with each other and seem to respect each other, creates a very positive atmosphere that, again, creates a supportive, caring environment for their patients.
I am very pleased with the treatment received from Dr. Lark & his associates. I frequently share praises with others as well. No regrets giving them a call.
Hands down the best dental experience(s) I’ve ever had! From the office staff to the hygienists to the dentists, you truly feel like they care about their patients. They also use top-of-the-line equipment that makes for a much more pleasant experience. I’ll never go anywhere else 😁
I went to the dentist to have a dental cleaning. Everything went well during the examination and cleaning but as I was leaving the room I started to have a bad case of vertigo. Paula (my hygienist) , Doctor Chaban and a few other workers took care of me until the paramedics arrived and took over. I am very appreciative of how they tried to keep me cool and comfortable. Later that night I even received a call from Paula checking up on me. I have nothing but good things to say about the whole office.
