This is an outstanding dental office! Weve been going to Junction Creek Denistry for many years and have consistently been impressed by the quality of service, professionalism and the employee morale there. We visit them to get cleanings every 6 months and when no additional dental work is needed they dont make up something so they can get paid more! They are excellent at determining if fillings or crowns are really needed or if a watch on certain teeth is more appropriate at the time. We really enjoy the staff! Dr. Hening is a top notch and honest dentist, Andrew is an amazing hygienist with boatloads of knowledge who could easily become a dentist himself and Darla is a very professional and engaging dental assistant and receptionist! We love Junction Creek Denistry!

What a professional, fun and kind group of medical personnel. All work well together, Dr. Hennings is a jewel, Darla is absolutely delightful and Andrew is just the complete package!!! Thank you so much for taking care and my husband and I. See you next year!
