This was my first time coming to your office for dental care and I was very impressed. Your staff was friendly, office was clean and the dental exam room was tidy. My dental hygienist Deanna H. was amazing and extremely detailed. She explained everything thoroughly, was nice and cleaned my teeth extremely well. She did such an amazing job that when the denist met me she only had to do a quick check and nothing more. I was very pleased and will be returning!

I've been anxious about dentists my entire life. So much so that I would wait until my teeth were bad enough to pull. The shame that goes along with visits when your teeth are bad were my second reason not to go. I needed a dentist in network and my brother suggested Dr. Bennett. Ended up he was in network and I was able to get a quick appointment. The staff in the front were engaging and personable. Then when I went into the torture chamber...I was so excited that everyone made me feel comfortable and welcomed! (And no torture) My visit was better then I could of imagined and I look "forward" to going back in 2 weeks to start improving my smile! Thank you all for a positive, comfortable experience!

Dr Michelle Barrera is one of the greatest dentists anyone can possibly ask for. Dr Barrera fixed my teeth from a botched job another dentist had done. I never thought I would be happy with my smile. Thanks to her and the staff at aesthetic dentistry I can smile with confidence! I highly recommend this dental practice!

If I could leave 0 stars I would. I'm still getting treated for something that Dr. Michelle messed up. Several thousand dollars to repair because of the sloppy work. This place is awful, she's an absolutely terrible dentist. He's not much better with dogs walking around in the office not sure how sanitary that is. STAY AWAY !!!!! Staff is nice, dentists not so much.

Hands down one of the best Dental offices I have ever been to. Do you ever wake up and say to yourself wow, I havent had a good dental cleaning in a while? Has it been a few years since you last had one and are just dragging your feet? DONT! This place has it all, starting from the top, Dr Bennet who is a great guy, Dr Barrera who is the sweetest and I heard her Karaoke in the office (great voice btw!) and that other handsome Gentleman whose name escapes me. Great Doctors all of them. Lets wind back to the front desk Ladies. There was two that helped me figure out my insurance info and hooked me up with a great hygienist (ill get there later), Char and Wendy, absolute dolls the both of them. Then there is the assistants, I didnt get the names but they were very nice. The Hygienist I was put with was A DELIGHT, If you ever get the chance of getting your teeth cleaned by Deanna, DO IT, cleanest teeth I have ever had in my entire life. I had another hygienist fill in once when she wasnt there and was amazing as well, so you cant miss with this place! Finally possibly the best part, they have little pups walking around! The absolute sweetest little things, I just want to steal them! 5/5 go there!

I have been a patient here for almost a decade. The office is spotless, the hygienists are very thorough and I can't say enough about the dentists! The office staff are very friendly and helpful as well. I have had both cosmetic, preventive and restorative dental work done here through the years and I would never go anywhere else!

I have been a patient of Dr. Barrera's for a number of years. She is an extremely knowledgeable dentist. Any issues that have risen, she explains the options and takes care of my concerns. My kids are patients of hers too, they adore her. She is patient with them and goes above and beyond to make sure they are comfortable with any procedures. All staff that I have interacted with has been helpful and polite. So glad I found Dr. Barrera and this dental practice!

Dr. Barrera has gone above and beyond to make my experience a pleasurable one. I have had multiple crowns and fillings done, along with biannual cleanings for the past several years. Dr. Barrera goes out of her way to take the time to make the patient comfortable, informed, and exceedingly happy with the results. Her attention to detail, i.e. including matching my crowns (color, shape, etc.) to my own teeth, is bar none. I unfortunately have needed several "emergency" visits due to root canals, tooth pain and other issues. Each and every time Dr. Barrera fit me into her schedule to address my issues. I highly recommend her and the entire practice.

Haven't been to a dentist in over 15 years as I am absolutely mortified. But Holy S I absolutely LOVE everyone here. They are unbelievably compassionate, knew up front how panicky I was and went above and beyond to make me comfortable. I swear I did not feel any sort of pain. Aesthetic Dentistry have a patient for life. From the hygienists to Bill and Michelle. Cannot thank them enough for what they did for me :-)
