Each day we have the privilege of meeting new people, establishing relationships with each and helping them improve their lives. Dentistry is about connections and caring for each person as an individual. Each of our patients has unique clinical and personal needs and goals. Its our job to learn exactly what a patient requires to achieve optimal oral health and a beautiful smile. We tailor a persons care approach to ensure the best results. As family dentists, we love providing a gentle and fun first visit for a child as much as we love restoring a grandparents ability to chew comfortably.
Being dentists means we can relieve a persons dental pain and restore comfort and quality of life. We are also able to improve someones smile, which increases their self-esteem and confidence in their social life. Being a dentist means serving and helping others enjoy better health and greater happiness. We cannot imagine anything more rewarding!
We have assembled a friendly, caring team, and each person is committed to making our patients feel safe and welcome. Together, weve created a pleasant and supportive environment where patients comfort is a top priority and each person is treated like a family member.

GO ELSEWHERE if you need anything other than your teeth cleaned. It seems Dr. Y. Cox does not care and does not stand by her work. This is the 1st time in my life to deal with a dentist who does not care that you have signs of an unresolved infection and pain after allowing them to do an extensive filling and crown. In fact, she stood me up when I had a scheduled cleaning and follow up to see what we could do. I let the other dentist there (her hubsband?) know I had symptoms of an unresolved infection and the crown didn't fit well. He was dismissive too. Bizarre. I nicely said I guess I should get a second opinion since I was FELLING UNWELL and to have Y. Cox please touch base. She never called me or apologize for standing me up. Boy do I regret not using a personal referral and finding someone more experienced and mature.

The staff at Cox Dental are all so nice!! My husband and 2 kids have been with Cox Dental for around a year. I finally broke up with my other dentist of 10 years and made the switch to Cox Dental. I'm wishing I'd done so sooner!! I had some fillings yesterday and didn't even cry!! Dr Yani made it as painless as possible and my recovery was much smoother than past times with my old dentist. I can't say enough wonderful things about Cox Dental! They are phenomenal!!! Also, my son is autistic and my old dentist was never successful in getting him to let them check his teeth more than him growling at them. My son let Cox Dental do an entire cleaning!! They were fantastic with him and so patient! I just love them!!

Wonderful experience!! I've moved nearly a dozen times in the last ten years (so I've had to go to many different dentists) and after one visit this is my FAVORITE dentist I've ever been to! The staff was welcoming from first entering and throughout my entire visit. The previous day I had a filling fall out and they were able to get me an appointment within a day. At my previous dentist it was the worst filling to get put in due to the numbing injections just not working as effectively on me (something I've dealt with my whole life). At my appointment with Dr. Cox she was able to work with her husband, the other Dr. Cox, to get my tooth fully numb but not affect my entire face for the whole day. It was the quickest and most efficient filling I've ever had completed. I felt myself tense in anticipation of pain that I've dealt with in the past with previous dentists and was able to relax when I realized it wouldn't be the case this visit!! During the small times we had to wait (such as when the numbing agent was activating) the tech was super friendly and chatted with me. Other things to note: They are polite and considerate when addressing things like brushing and flossing; Dr. Cox and the technician I was seen by were kind and understanding and I didn't feel judged at all (even though I'm not always 100% about flossing). They answered all questions with clear responses and made sure I understood exactly what was going on and made sure I was comfortable my entire visit. I was so grateful they made sure I was properly numb before fixing my missing filling. Dr. Cox consistently asked if anything was uncomfortable throughout the process and I felt very reassured she had my comfort and safety at the forefront of her practice. I am so beyond happy I found such a wonderful dentist!! Thank you so much to both Doctors!!

Viviana went above and beyond at my cleaning today; I had some old stains that she cleaned off without asking. I'll definitely be back!

This was my first visit to Cox Dental Care and it was very pleasant. April, my hygienist, was wonderful. She was gentle and aware of areas that may be sensitive. Dr. Yanina Cox and their staff were all very welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend Cox Dental Care.

I have always been terrified of the dentists until I met Dr. Cox. She has a special way of making you relax, knowing you can trust her. She also has a great staff. My husband and I both see her and recently our son asked to go to her when he leaves his pediatric dentist.

So thankful to have found Cox Dental Care. I was in the process of finding a new dentist when I had a filling fall out. They were able to see me the next day & I was so impressed with my experience. The staff are all very professional and I believe the quality of care was the best that I have had (I have had lots of dental work done in different states.) Dr. Yanina Cox is very personable, kind and obviously in the profession she was meant to be in. Thank you all so much!
