I had just short of a full mouth restoration. Dr Allen and staff are hands down the best group that has provided dental care for me. I would not hesitate to refer fowlerville family dentistry for anyone.

Got a crown here. Was having gum pain/inflammation. They re-took xrays and gave me some mouth wash stuff and re cleaned my teeth and told me i need to water floss to help. I went to a different dentist they took xrays and saw i had something going on possibly an infection. I had to get a root canal on the crown that they did! Not happy!! Spent a lot of money for fowlerville family dentistry to not do a thing+

The staff at Fowlerville Family Dentistry are so nice and treat you like they've known you for years even if its your first visit. I'm glad I switched from a chain Dentist office to Fowlerville Family Dentistry. Thank you for the great work on my teeth!

It's been quite some time since I've seen the dentist. Using state of the art technology, I received a thorough, comprehensive exam. They discovered a tooth that has been compromised by old metal "fillings", and i need some additional work. Hygienist is very knowledgeable, and doctor has great chairside manner. Highly recommend.

Exceptional service, and great employees working for them. This was my first time at this dentist, I couldn't be more happier with them. They answered all the question I had and had options for some fixes to save a buck if needed. Sam the dentist and his assistant were a hoot to work with. Can't wait to come in for next cleaning, thanks guys!

We took my daughter here, while this is not her first dentist appointment, it has been the best! Both the Dentist and hygienist made her so comfortable, they walked thru everything with her and talked to her as the patient. She even told me the next day that we needed to go back for another cleaning. She was so excited to be there, Highly recommend! our family all moved to the area in the past few months so I have recommended them to our whole family.

This is by far the best Dentist I have ever been to! I have been coming here for two years and I have never felt more comfortable going to a Dentist office! Each and every member of their team strives to make you feel like your oral hygiene is their upmost importance. Between Dr. Allen, the hygienists, assistants and the front staff they make you feel very welcome and taken care of as soon as you walk through the door. They educate you on your oral health and give you treatment plans and costs the best they can before the procedure is done. I would in a heart beat recommend this office to anyone who has a fear of visiting a dental office! Dr. Allen and his staff are very understanding and try to make the experience as enjoyable as can be no matter what procedure is being done! No matter If you are looking for a Dental office that you can bring your whole family to or even just if you have a emergency, I highly recommend calling Fowlerville Family Dentistry to set up a appointment!!

I have been coming here for quite a few years, and always receive great care. Everyone is always very friendly and efficient. I've never had a dental practice that is so actively interested in helping me take the best possible care of my teeth. The information from Becky, my Dental Hygenist has been so useful, and appreciated! Such a great team of people who work together to make sure that visits to the dentist are a positive experience!
