Have been seeing Dr. Tim for twenty five years. He is very trustworthy and has always kept my teeth looking and feeling amazing! I have never had a cavity thanks to Dr. Tim and his great staff!

I have been to dentist's all across the world. Nothing is worse than what appear to be the two most common issues when going to see the dentist: 1. Getting dental work done, and getting an outrageous bill afterwards, especially when the need for service is in question. 2. Getting work done, only to find that you cannot close your mouth or bite like you regularly did prior to the work getting done. Leaving the Army, I had significant issues with the dental work that had been performed on my mouth. Dr. Tim has taken years to correct cavities and crowns, as well as providing and refining occlusion guards to prevent enamel erosion from bruxism. I can say that the prices have always been fair and straight forward, I never felt up charged, and always felt like my mouth was in better shape once I left. If I ever had questions or something didn't feel right, he would fix it for free, without an appointment. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Dr. Tim's office has always maintained a professional and elite team of dental hygienists. If you've ever had your teeth cleaned by a bad hygienist, or by a dental assistant, you'll appreciate the high caliber hygienists that are employed here. Highly recommended.

Fair warning! I had a crown replaced by Dr. Tim. He resized and confirmed it was fine with a followup. After a year and a half, during which I moved, I started experiencing severe headaches and jaw pain. This is when I discovered the crown was not sized correctly and was several times bigger than it was suppose to. I had to have it shaved down over the course of a year so that my bite could readjust. Also my current dentist recognized my enamel needed addressing at which they recommended Previ-dent. Over the years of seeing Dr. Tim he never recommended this. He also just did he job fixing things and not trying to PREVENT! yes Dr. Tim is a nice guy but he likes business so why talk to his patients about cavity prevention? My jaw now pops due to the neglect of this dentist. My bite will never be the same. I worry about future consequences like arthritis in my jaw as I grow older. He seemed too busy talking instead of being patient focused. Even though he is one of few dentist in this small town, I encourage you to seek another option and to shop around.
