    I can't say enough nice things about this place! The staff is all so kind and helpful. Dr. Means himself is super friendly and informative. He takes the time to explain things thoroughly and is very conscious of your comfort during procedures. In respects to billing, they are very honest and up front. You don't have to worry about this place sneaking in extra work and being surprised with a large bill. I've always been afraid of dentist visits, but this is the first place where I truly feel like I'm in good hands.

    Dr. Means and staff are A+ in patient care. I now have 3 bridged areas where the teeth, fillings were failing (confirmed by photo). In every need, the conditions, options and costs were explained carefully. I have a condition that requires monitoring. Dr. Means was the first to photograph and record the necessary history. His care is much appreciated.

    Went there to get a cleaning and some fillings and I'm not sure I could possibly be any happier with my experience at the dentist. Everyone I interacted with was incredibly nice and as helpful as they could be. Dr Means is a super nice dude and incredibly thorough with his work and his explanations of things I questioned. Nothing felt rushed and I genuinely felt comfortable in this setting. I highly recommend trying them out.
