Dental associations serve many purposes within our profession.

The American College of Dentists is the oldest major honorary organization for dentists. It was founded August 20, 1920 at the Copley-Plaza Hotel in Boston by the President, President-elect, and Secretary of the American Dental Association (then called the National Dental Association) and the President of the National Association of Dental Faculties (precursor of the American Dental Education Association).

Very kind staff, clean facilities I have no complaint with my dentist. If you need a crown they can do in a few hours right in the office! I think I love that part the most. Russell at the front desk is very good about what your insurance will cover etc. No surprises. I really loved my last dentist also, so moving to this area and finding Dr. Hamblin was very lucky for me .

I found this place on google and I must say they are pretty good. Dr. Hamblin is very thorough and good at answering questions. He did 2 fillings and I barely felt the needle poke. I also had a regular cleaning and that wasn't to bad, a little painful but what can I expect, I hadn't had a cleaning in 3 years! The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because they decided to add $160 to my treatment before consulting me about it. NOT OK! How can you add treatment without consulting the patient first? especially when its $160 dollars worth. I didn't make a fuss about it because like i said the Dr is good so if he felt it was necessary for me to have it, I trust his judgment.

When I moved to the area, I scrubbed review after review, trying to find the right dentist. My teeth were alright, I got cleanings every 6 months while in the Navy - but I was looking for some more feedback. I'm so glad I ended up choosing Dr. Hamblin & his team. I went in today for an appointment I had scheduled for September 14th. Russell has on multiple occasions called me if there is a cancellation a few weeks before my scheduled appointment to see if I'd like to move my appointment. That is amazing service. Really - maybe it is the number of patients that this office serves, but I think, based on the service, that it is just that everyone here actually cares. It's seamless - they know what your insurance covers, how often you can get preventive care, and put you in the window every time to keep your teeth in top shape. The rates are great. I have Delta Dental, so most of my visits are covered. The hygienist that used to work in this office (Jill) listened to the history of my dental care, did a thorough exam to see where I was, and recommended additional services. There was no pressure to accept, but she kindly explained the benefits of additional service, but in a way that didn't make me feel like they were talking down to me, or that I have a mouth full of cavities, and teeth that look like I chewed on oreo's right before my visit. Oh. This office totally breaks the rule of dentistry (in my experience!) Not once have I heard "you need to floss more, you need to brush more, you need..." It's always based on data, and they often don't even ask how often you brush/floss. They simply observe the trend in your oral health and make recommendations accordingly. Overall, I'm incredibly happy that I chose Dr. Hamblin to be my dentist. I'd recommend him to anyone with Delta Dental, or anyone with a dental emergency. But not too many... I like the appointment availability!
