The best dentist experience I've ever had. They'll be honest about the condition of your teeth and gums without trying scare tactics to get you to buy unnecessary, expensive procedures. Honest, ethical, professional and personable.

I am so glad we found this dentist office. We took our young children today. They took the time to warm up to the kids, talk them through what they were doing. I was so impressed! Also, AMAZING waiting area!

Absolutely changed my smile, and continues to do so. Before I came here I smiled showing no teeth, now I smile as big as I can every chance I get. The picture here shows only the temporary front tooth and is even better looking now. Melissa was great, easy to talk to and she hummed some of the songs which was an ease to my mind during the process(I'm sure she didn't even realize). Dr. Powell killed it and also has a great personality. Highly recommend!!!

I haven't been to the dentist in years due to many things, but one being nervous because of prior bad experiences. Everyone here was super nice & listened to my concerns about being nervous & worked with me to make me feel at ease. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is nervous about going! :)

I have been going to Dr. Powell since he started practice 20+ years ago and theres not enough words to be spoken about this wonderful, gentle, amazing, professional dentist and staff. Talented and amazing for pretty much reconstructing my whole mouth from veneers to bridges to crowns that was in much need of TLC. Theres nothing he cannot perform and make you feel 120% about it. Wonderful family man and so involved in community and really cares for his patients and his staff.. truly amazing dentist that no other dentist can top!
