    We welcome children of all ages to receive regular check-ups. During the initial visit, we will review your child's medical and dental history, and discuss all the concerns related to your children's teeth. As a precaution, we may recommend taking digital x-rays of your child's teeth.

    Our goal is to provide a positive first experience between your child and our team of caring hygienists and dentists. We believe a good first experience allows your child the chance to gain a positive outlook on dentistry and their own oral health.

    I've had a fear of the dentist for most of my life. After being a patient of Dr. Bridges, that fear is no longer with me. I would recommend Ray Dental to anyone. The entire staff is extremely friendly, from the front desk to the hygienists. Thank you Ray Dental!

    Absolutely horrible experience, doctors are uncaring and communicating with office staff is useless.

    Make you pay right after waking from being anesthesized. Can barely function but make sure you give us your money. Sociopaths

    I thought that this was an amazing place to go for dental work, I have had a lot of traumatizing events at different dentist offices but this one made me feel really at ease and comfortable. All my anxiety about dentists really went away, couldn't have been happier with my experience!

    DO NOT RECOMMEND! I was given a heavy sales pitch, you know this is the MO when you get the same pitch by several people, to get this advanced cleaning at a cost of 800 bucks, which insurance only paid a part of. I was told that it would be 2 - 2 hour sessions for a total of 4 hours. First session was 1 hour, second session was 45 minutes. So do you think I got a discount? 800 bucks for teeth cleaning? Unbelievable. Furthermore, I had a TMJ issue, was quickly sold a 500 dollar device that didn't work and no insurance. The diagnosis was made without xrays or any kind of disgnoisis, just "you need a mouth guard" even though I told them they did not work, so I reluctantly went ahead with it, thinking there would be further treatment if it didn't work. Not the case, referred to another dentist that doesn't even treat TMJ. This place is about money and not about patient care. Stay away.

    My husband had a horrible broken moler and ray dental was able to get him in within 30 minutes after they had a cancelation and the staff was very nice!

    Just moved to the city and was looking for a dental center and so glad I chose Ray Dental. Was immediately greeted and taken care of by front desk staff upon arrival. Hilary was my Dental Hygienist and she did a terrific job. You could tell she is experienced in her work. Dr Freeman was also a down to earth dentist and answered all my questions and gave his honest unbiased advice to my dental care. Overall it was such an amazing experience and I highly recommend this dental center for your dental needs.
