Best dentist experience I've had. The office is clean & tidy, the waiting room is accommodating, and the staff is friendly. Hallie is the greatest hygienist you could ever ask for. Dr. Tanguay was a pleasure to deal with and he explains everything in easy-to-understand terms. This studio takes out any anxiety of visiting the dentist!

Dr. Tanguay is a straight shooter and takes a balanced approach with all options on the table whenever possible. The techs and all the help are all competent in their own right and pleasure to be around. Refreshing dentistry indeed!

I have been a loyal Mint customer since inception. It is by far the best dentist experience. I love going to the dentist! Who knew?! The staff are all so warm, friendly, accommodating and so knowledgeable. Doesn't matter which dentist you see, they are both top notch. I have had various tooth issues which they were able to tackle and fix. Sidney is my hygienist and I adore her even when she is scraping my gums, so that tells you something! Grateful for Mint Dentistry and all who make it so great!

Having the worst phobia of dentists has contributed to a severe lack of dental on my part. I decided to face the music and went to Mint Dental and it was the BEST experience ever. Everyone was incredibly nice, including the Dentist, and I was made very comfortable and am actually looking forward to my appt next week!!!!! I highly recommend Mint to everyone

I love Mint dental! I've been coming for three years now and I've never had a bad experience! They are on time, quick and efficient and they work well with my insurance!! I'm one of those people that has always had it out for dentists due to a gag reflex and bad past experiences but since coming to mint my anxiety has gone down and I feel more confident going to the dentist. Love the staff and the office is peaceful. Highly recommend!!
