Everyone at Embrace is so kind, caring and compassionate. I feel well taken care of by these professionals whenever I've come in for an appointment. I've always been so pleased with the results of any procedure I've had.

Went in for a chipped tooth that I got this afternoon and called to see if they had an opening for a new patient and while seeing Dr.Troy seen I had a couple more that were needing filled and filled them the same day

Today they had all 4 of my kids scheduled to get their teeth cleaned. 3 went and came back and I asked 2 times when they were coming to get the last one, and they said "she will be with him soon, she is cleaning up her station", and then they came to me at 354 and said sorry we can't see your last one because the dentist left at 330. Why did it take 24 minutes for us to be told the dentist up and left and forgot about one of my children?

Dr. Parr and her excellent staff placed 2 front crowns on me last week. The procedure was pain free and comfortable. Her team was never in a hurry and they were focused on placing my new crowns the best way possible. I am very happy and recommend Dr. Parr for your dental needs. Her hygienist ( Brooke) also performed a pain free cleaning!! Thank you Dr. Parr and your fine staff!

DR. TROY KEYES Is the best dentist, I have found in this entire Midwest, since living in, Seattle. I also liked the referring endodontist. He has helped fix and repair dental mistakes and taken away my pain. He fit me in when he was busy & he caught issues overlooked on my daughters teeth that could have caused major problems, very detail oriented. He is very down to earth friendly & works hard & fast. Even when his office is busy he did not cut corners he worked accurate, punctual & did a great job. I am extremely anxious to dental work and his staff is super nice, kind and patient it's just all around a great place to go. When everyone was booked out including him he found a way to fit me in even more if he had to work late. Nice people. My temporary crown looks better than my expensive crowns from a previous dentist. Thank you embrace!

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Miller and his nurse. Both were very courteous and very professional!! Repairing my partially broken front tooth couldn't have gone better!! They both explained step by step what was happening. I hesitated visiting a dentist but after today's experience I'll be back to see them both!! Wonderful experience.

I drove almost 100 miles one way to get a new mouth guard made here after I had an awful one made somewhere else. Not only did they get me in the very next morning when I called in the afternoon, but Leah at the 212 location made my mouth guard and had it ready for me within an hour of my appointment! I've had the worst jaw pain and last night I slept so well, waking up with no jaw pain. There is no other place I'll ever go for a mouth guard ever again. She also fitted it to my mouth and took the time to make sure it was perfect and then showed me how to trim it if I ever needed to do it myself. Seriously, my jaw feels like angels were dancing all over my face last night. These guys are amazing!
