I initially went to Cave and Cave for a consultation. I wanted to see what options I had for repairing my teeth due to an iron deficiency. Dr. Ashley and her staff were amazing! I felt very comfortable talking with them about my concerns and options. Dr. Ashley went over my options in detail, showing me samples and answering all my questions. I scheduled my procedure for the same week and was actually excited to go to the dentist for once! When I arrived for my procedure, the girls were all friendly, understanding of my extreme fear of shots, and did everything to make me comfortable. I received 6 crowns and all I can say is I can not believe I wanted this long! They look amazing and I love my smile now! I plan on returning to Dr. Ashley for more dental work very soon! A HUGE THANK YOU to Dr. Ashley and the girls for giving me my confidence back and a beautiful smile!!

Both of my children have had extensive work done at this office. The staff is always so patient and helpful. Dr. Ashlee takes the time to explain everything and someone from her office always calls to follow up and see how my children are doing.
