I was blown away with my experience! Not only was the dentist highly knowledgeable but the dental hygienist was also. I have had gingivitis my whole life and no one has explained it/told me how serious it is like this dentist did. They were so thorough and actually seemed like they cared about my mouth's well-being. I would highly recommend going here!

Dr. Aaberg and Lori, my hygienist, were amazing. The degree of compassion, competence, professionalism, and rapport displayed by Dr. Aaberg is unmatched by any dentist I have ever been to. Her methods and care plans are seemingly (as far as I can tell, I'm not a dentist, but she'll lay everything out so matter-of-factly that I assume it's from a textbook) up to date and her dexterity is impeccable - small hands are a great trait for a dentist to have as well. If you haven't been to a dentist in a while and are nervous about what will happen to your teeth, Dr. Aaberg is your person. No judgement, no hassling, no guilting. Just solid care. I actually started looking forward to my appointments, and I have dentistphobia...

I've been to many dentists and I really like Dr Fuller! He told me exactly what would happen and have me advance notice on any pains or pressures I would feel during my filings. I highly recommend this office!

I have severe anxiety about visiting the dentist. However Dr. Fuller is the most gentle and kind dentist I have ever had a dental experience with. He is very understanding and patient during procedures. If you are nervous about the dentist you will be in wonderful hands with the staff at Premier Dental!

Firstly, I was 15 min early and they took me in, almost as soon as I sat down in the waiting room. They took the time to make sure the filling was perfect. They flossed afterwards to make sure I could floss well. The hygienist was so gentle and delicate between my teeth, and so thorough. She noticed something that neither the dentist, nor the x ray caught, and they fixed that cavity for only $20 extra. These guys are professional, comforting, and thorough.

I feel terrible that I don't remember the name of my hygienist, I think it was Heidi. She was absolutely amazing, and that comes from a girl who's mom was a hygienist since the 90s. I've got a high bar, and a very low tolerance for pain. I made sure to schedule with her again.
