As someone who grew up with a horrible fear of dentists, I love going here! Dr. Hensley and his staff are just top notch. Very professional, courteous, and kind. Making an appointment is super easy, and they make sure you don't forget it once you make it! Emails and texts to remind you of your upcoming appointment are super helpful. Dr. Hensley is a great guy that'll make you feel comfortable in the chair during the whole visit. He also has a very light hand when it comes to checking your teeth, which is part of the reason why I keep coming here! Make this place your go-to dentist's office and you won't regret it.

The nicest dentist I've ever been to! ! Dr. Hensley and his staff do such an amazing job making you feel relaxed and welcomed. Normally I'm very bad with dental work any kind of needles or xrays typically are a huge process but ever since I started seeing Dr. Hensley I can say my fears are gone! From my Invisalign to my routine checks and cleanings he always makes sure I'm good at the end of each visit. Thank you guys for everything :)
