Overall a good experience. It would be nice to limit the conversations while working in my mouth. It would help me feel more comfortable knowing that you were paying attention to what you're doing in my mouth and not being distracted by the conversations you're having while working in my mouth. Thank you

Out of many years of going to the dentist I have never been more pleased with my visit than I was at this one here today at gentle dental on limestone in Springfield Ohio. I went in planning on having a tooth pulled, instead the dentist rebuild my tooth and was able to save it.Not only that but they are going to save my 3 that are bad in front. That another dentist told me there was no other way to save them but to pull them. If I was to give point system gentle dental would get a ten. Everyone there was very nice didn't even have to get that shot that everyone hates. I love this place can't wait to go back.
