Very friendly and very great with children. My 2 children are 2 1/2 and 1 1/2 and they did awesome. Love how they sing to them while they are doing their job. I couldn't ask for a better dentist office than here. Thank you all. You're an awesome team. Will highly recommend you to any and everyone who needs a good dentist for their children.

I appreciate Dr. Amante and the rest of the dental team. They are all good with kids. Dr. Amante talks with me about his recommendations professionally and clearly, but is respectful if I disagree or decline a recommendation.

Dr. Amante is our hero - we switched from a pediatric dentist in Warrenton (it was becoming an awful experience with every visit for my kids and myself causing major stress /anxiety for even just a cleaning and seeing the dct briefly). This doc was made to be a pediatric dentist and really cares about the kids! He always makes them feel at ease and never makes the parent feel uncomfortable. Switching dentists has been one of the best decisions I've made for my family.

My child's dental experience was extremely positive for her. Bright, clean facility. Caring, sensitive hygienist made her feel comfortable and at ease and Dr Amante was gentle, kind and thorough all at the same time. Thank you!
