Wonderful experience! Staff and Dr. DeFranco were extremely personable, efficient and professional. Really made my first visit very smooth. I really enjoyed looking through the full length window with the beautiful leaves falling from trees as I got my teeth cleaned. (It's the little things that help you to relax.) Highly recommend-

I have been treated by the team at Helena Family Dentistry for over 20 years. The team is friendly and efficient. Dr. DeFranco is personable and spends the time needed to talk through the available options for ones oral health. One does not feel rushed. I would strongly recommend HFD.

I am a new patient here and am elated at how welcoming the environment is. Everyone is genuinely friendly and helpful, and takes the time to talk with you and answer questions and give thorough explanations. You truly feel welcomed, like you have been a patient there for years. Your needs are attended to honestly without being "sold a bill of goods" for services you don't need done. I am so glad I have come here and sincerely recommend this practice. Helena resident, Lori Crowe

I love Helena Family Dentistry. Marsha is great and has a very light touch, but gives me a great, thorough cleaning! Dr. DeFranco always steers me and my family in the right direction for keeping our teeth and gums healthy and clean. The ladies at the front desk are always really sweet and welcoming, and laugh at my stupid jokes, so that's a plus. It's always a pleasure to go here, and I would highly recommend them for individuals and for families.

Dr. DeFranco and his staff provided excellent dental care today. After examining the area of concern, he reassured me that I didn't have anything to worry about. From the time I arrived, I was treated with kindness, courtesy and respect.

I felt a little unsafe. The dentist can in to look at my teeth dressed like someone making biscuits at Jacks. I am not sure if I was being protected from him or he was being protected from me. Please have PPE me me the next time I visit. Besides that, April was great.
