I’ve always had good experiences with the staff here. Today was my first visit with Chelsey as my hygienist and she was so delightful! So friendly and informative! I love that they show you pictures and explain what they’re seeing going on with your teeth so you know the best course of action when it comes to preventative.

I hadn't been to the dentist for many years because I did not have insurance coverage so I was dreading it. My hygienist Chelsey did a great job scaling my teeth and I was comfortable the entire time. All of the staff is friendly and welcoming and the dentists are very helpful and informative. Would highly recommend!
