I had to get a crown and a filling, and this was the most comfortable appointment I've ever had. They explained everything and constantly made sure I was comfortable at every stage. Plus, the new crown fits great!

Amazing staff, attention to detail, and overall experience. This is an awesome place to go if you suffer from dental related anxiety! Dr. Han was thorough, kind, and helped me handle everything on my checklist in one appointment. She was quick, yet at no point did it feel rushed, and she truly listened to my dental goals. Cavity fillings were fairly painless, and I've had no problems since my initial appointment. HIGHLY recommend!

After growing up hesitant to go to the dentist due to the quality of dental treatment I'd received in the past, I was more than thrilled with the service and treatment I've received with Hunsaker. The entire staff is extremely friendly and cares for patient comfort and care. I expressed being nervous to get some fillings due to a fear of needles, and feeling the procedure at a past dentist. The staff took extra time to ensure I was numb, and constantly asked throughout the procedure if I was comfortable. It was very clear that they genuinely care about the quality of work done as well as how the patient is doing. Several days after my appointment, they called to check in and see how I was doing. I would highly recommend Hunsaker Dental to anyone in the area looking for treatment. Dr. John specifically has been a joy to work with, alongside Jasmine who helped make my procedure a breeze.

Just wanted to take the chance to say how much we appreciate Hunsaker Dental. I've had a number of extensive procedures done over the years and Dr. Han is the best I've seen. I'm always nicely surprised at how easily even lengthy procedures go with her as my dentist. Very much appreciated!

Dr. Han and the team of excellent hygienists have given me the best dental care I could ever imagine. I had a root canal today and not only was the procedure 100% painless, I got my permanent crown just hours later. The Hunsaker offices have the latest and greatest dental tools and devices. Very high tech. Dr. Han is caring and gentle; not to mention, an absolute expert at dentistry. Thank you Hunsaker Dental!

I have been treated so well here over the last few years, it's like going into your own home and your family is there to help you. I have and will continue to recommend Hunsaker Dental to my family and friends because of the quality of care and the compassion that they all show, to their patients and their staff. I would give 10 stars if I could give it! Thank you for all you've done and will do for me, it's been a wonderful experience.

I was expecting to have a tooth pulled to stop the pain. But all they did was x-ray my tooth. Hopefully when I go back they will pull all of them. ( I have 6 teeth that needs to be pulled. To make room for my lower dentures.
