What an excellent practice and team of people! I had to get an emergency wisdom tooth pulled. They were able to schedule me the same day and were quick and efficient in doing the job. I went back for a follow up a week later and needed to take the stitches out and didn't feel a thing. The team made the experience great for me! I will be going here for all of my dental needs! Thank you!

We started going to Rockwell Family Dentistry almost 10 years ago after having our first child. We were looking for a family oriented dentist that was near Robbinsville where we live and small enough that our kids would not be scared to go from an early age. Dr. Rockwell and her staff are amazing! I go with my 4 year old daughter and 11 year old son so we can all be seen at the same time. It has become a family experience for us that is helping to make good dental hygiene and care an important part of our kids' lives. 'Dr. Dawn,' as the kids call her, takes great care of our teeth and relates easily to all of us. I swear our kids look forward to seeing her and have no anxiety about anything. If you have small children and live near Hamilton I highly recommend you try them out. You will not be disappointed.

I started coming here because it was my husband's dentist. I have always had a great experience here. Dr. Dawn is super gentle and I've never felt like they've done any unnecessary procedures like I have felt from other dentists.

I was recommended by family to go to Rockwell dentistry for a dental emergency that I was experiencing. I called and they scheduled me in right away. The staff is so welcoming, sweet, caring and very personable. Both Dr. Dawn Rockwell and Dr. Alexander Rockwell are fantastic! I am so glad to find such wonderful dentists!

I have been to Rockwell Dental many times. I usually have Dr. Dawn Rockwell. She is always professional. At the same time, she has a friendly personality, and keeps the patient at ease. The staff assist the doctor very well. I wish I had known about Rockwell Dentistry much sooner.
