I picked this clinic based on reviews, and they were spot on. Call ahead to schedule your appointment as they are very busy, available booking is months in advance. Very friendly cheerful staff, quality preventative teeth cleaning service, good explanation of benefits and home cleaning tips. Very happy with my first time experience.

They got me in right on time, we're very gentle and educational, made me feel comfortable and not like a patient being examined. Very affordable for folks without insurance.
