There is no job Id rather be doing than what I do., and there is no better staff with which to do it. Ive been practicing pediatric dentistry in Fayetteville since 1975 after some time in the Navy. Guiding an apprehensive child (and their mom and dad) successfully through a dental visit is a joy.

I would highly recommend Highland Dental to any parent for their little ones. The environment was clean, staff pleasant & helpful, service was thorough & efficient. I especially liked Ms Suzie, she was wonderful with my daughter & helped to get her to relax for her procedure. She explained every process to me and I'm really glad that I took her here.

We've been coming here for 10+ years because it's the absolute best pediatric dentist around! The staff is wonderful and patient with all the kids. The facility is clean and welcoming. And the doctors are of course knowledgeable and experienced. All the forms needed to be complete are done through text like a week out from your appointment so it's easy to complete at your earliest convenience. Another huge appreciation point is that they make sure to see all 4 of my kids at once so I don't have to make multiple appointments, which is incredibly convenient for a busy family! I would advise no other pediatric dentist! They're simply the best!

Dr. Bridges and her hygienist were amazing today. I had both of my littles and they were off the charts hyperactive, curious, and rambunctious but they made me feel 100% at ease. I was pleasantly surprised.

Everyone is really nice and helpful. I was nervous about my younger child being a handful but the staff was patient and got the job done quickly and efficiently.
