What Our Patients Say About Us
Couldn’t ask for better!
Dr Woods is a great dentist. I am very afraid of going to the dentist and have had several bad experiences with dentists but that all changed with Dr Woods. She has never made me feel bad about my fears and she has always taken the time and given me the medication to get my mouth numb. My husband and kids go to her and I’ve referred others to her as well. Her office and support staff are excellent as well. Couldn’t ask for better!

From HealthGrades.com | Dec 03, 2015I can’t recommend enough!
Dr Kathy Woods is the best dentist that I’ve ever visited. Not only did she put a plan together for my teeth which were in poor condition, there was absolutely no judgement on how bad they were and she had encouraging demeanor on that it was going to be ok and that I would get my smile back. I can’t recommend Dr. Woods enough!

Over the years my dentist has helped me overcome my fear of going to the dentist and fear of the pain. He is very patient, calming, takes time to explain things so I can understand them and has a sense of humor which helps me. I like my hygienist and the rest of my support staff.

ManagerAwesome!
I brought in both of my children (6 and 4), the staff was so friendly, patient, and accommodating!! They were in different rooms to which I floated back and forth to. Each time I went to check on them they were happy and doing what was asked. My kids talked about how much they loved their hygienists.
Daniel Palmer
ResearcherKeep up the great work!
Thank you so much for your wonderful and professional dental care. My last dentist retired and I was nervous about selecting my future dental care professionals. After selecting Dental Clinic, I feel compelled to send you a note to let you know how great my experience was.
George Turner
BusinessmanProfessional and friendly!
I’ve been going to Dental Clinic for years and have always had top-notch care. My hygienist does a great job cleaning my teeth and my dentist is friendly and listens to any concerns I have. My teeth always feel spotless when I leave. Great experience. Friendly and attentive staff.

Pediatric dentistry
Pediatric dentistry is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teen years. They have the experience and qualifications to care for a child’s teeth, gums, and mouth throughout the various stages of childhood. Children are not just small adults. They are not always able to be patient and cooperative during a dental exam. We know how to examine and treat children.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery
Oral surgery deals with the treatment and ongoing management of irregularities and pathology of the jaw and mouth that require surgical intervention.Surgically removing teeth is the most common procedure that oral surgeons perform, but oral surgery as a specialty has a broad scope. This includes managing hard and soft tissue pathology, oral infections, dentoalveolar trauma and oro-facial pain.
Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with the growth of the face, the development of teeth and jaws and the correction and prevention of abnormalities. Orthodontics has a strong hospital-based consultant service which concentrates on treating the more severe abnormalities. That said, orthodontic specialty practice in the high street is well-developed and expanding with opportunities for NHS.
