I am so incredibly happy with the whole office of Excellence in Dentistry. From the warm welcome at the front, the knowledgeable staff and the perfectionist found in Dr. Godfrey. I had some cosmetic dentistry done and it took me years to decide to do this but having multiple conversations with the staff and the dentists. I felt confident to trust in them to do the work I needed. The result was fantastic and I am so incredibly grateful. Thank you so much for all that you did and all the time that you spent on me.

Dr. Godfrey and his staff are always professional and friendly. Even when you don't do your best job with your dental hygiene, they are still friendly and advise of "watch" spots in your mouth or on your gums and advise where you may need to try a little harder. I've been going to Excellence in Dentistry since 2018 when I moved to Idaho Falls from Utah, and have always been pleased with their services.
