Today was my babies first dentist appointment. We really enjoyed coming here and we love that they have such flexible hours. Dr. Lac and her assistant this morning were very welcoming and friendly and my baby didn't cry at all! I would recommend them to any and everyone.

We love coming here. We brought our 3 young children and they were so kind and considerate. They took the time to explain all the dental equipment so our children weren't nervous. They were very clean and thorough. Our son had some cavities filled and he wasn't nervous at all because of Dr. Lac taking the time to make him feel comfortable. We have to pay out of pocket for dental and the prices are very reasonable. We would highly recommend!

Very clean building and a fun design for kids inside. Dr. Lac is very knowledgeable and the staff is so friendly and easy to talk to. They do have a slight accent, but completely understandable. Dr. Lac not only cleans, but teaches my children good dental hygiene. They're available weekends and you can call with any questions during business hours. Definitely recommend to anyone with children!

I found this dentist while out driving. What a GREAT find! The office staff was wonderful and professional. They made us feel comfortable. The dentist explained what she was doing with each step. My daughter was happy with the experience and how her teeth looked and felt.

They are wonderful, they really try to make the Denstist experience good for the kids. My daughter is little and isn't a fan but every time it gets better for her. They don't push anything the child is uncomfortable with. The people are wonderful and very nice. It's a great place to take your kids!
