My 6-year old had an excellent experience here getting his teeth cleaned. The staff were friendly and polite, and we felt welcomed into the relaxed, kid-friendly atmosphere. Dr. McCann was kind and gentle. This is definitely our pediatric dentist destination from now on.

Dr. McCann & his staff were so professional and patient with my 2 year old ! They certainly made her first dentist visit a memorable one. I was also a child patient here at 10 years old as I'm now 27 years old & they still deliver great service as they promise! I highly recommend this company without a doubt!

This was my 3 year olds first visit to the dentist and he told me he was nervous before going. The staff was very polite and greeted us and made us feel very welcome! Dr. Wes was amazing and very gentle and made my 3 year old feel at ease by explaining to him what he was going to do and showing him the tools. Dr. Wes was also very thorough in explaining things to me as well in the process. My 3 year old and I were all smiles leaving the dentist and I would highly recommend McCann dentistry!

It is hard changing dentists - particularly for kids. Dr. McCann and his staff are absolutely amazing and will make you - and your child - feel at ease, and at home. Best decision we've made in a long time.

Dr. McCann and his staff were extremely kind and comforting to my 3 year old for her first visit. She walked in very timid and left feeling proud of herself for "being a big girl". All of that was due to Dr. McCann and his team making her feel at ease.

We love Dr. Wes! Everyone in the practice is so friendly. They take the best dental care of our 3 young children! The littlest kids start out in the comfort of their parents lap and slowly move up to the big kid chairs! Our 5 year old is a champ now thanks to the way they ease kids into their practice! We wouldn't consider anywhere else! If you are looking for a loving pediatric dentist we highly recommend Dr. Wes!
