Suzette is our front desk coordinator, and most often times, the friendly voice youll hear answering when you call our office. She began in dentistry in 2008, graduating from Community Care College with honors as a dental assistant. Over the course of 3 years, she assisted both dentists and hygienists with clinical procedures before transitioning to the front desk.

Daisy is our offices part-time customer service representative, and considered the favorite employee. Rescued as a puppy from the Tulsa SPCA in May 2018, she has been providing a way of lowering blood pressure & dog-cuddle fixes ever since. Daisys energy level requires her to attend Doggie Daycare twice a week. However, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, she hangs out with us. She likes to brag that some patients ONLY schedule on the days that shes in the office; we cant blame them Outside of providing top-notch customer service, Daisy likes to run around at the dog park, play (treat enticing) fetch, and sit or down in order to get all the yummy treats.

I am over joyed with the results of my dental work today. Dr. White did an amazing job. He and his assistant were so kind and took the extra time to make sure I was doing well. I will be forever greatful to Dr. White for giving me a wonderful smile. I just had a conference boost.

Today's procedure by Dr White and his very skilled dental assistant was another example of the very skilled and gentle treatment I have been receiving from Dr White's dentistry practice over the years. It's hard to compare with another practice when I have been coming to Dr White for over 35years. I am always treated as family with the upmost professionalism and concern, as well as greeted with a gentle smile. My son has also entrusted Dr White with his care for over 20years as well. Many may fear going to a dentist, but I can assure you, Dr White and his staff will calm your fears the moment you walk into the office. Afterwards you will look forward to returning for your next checkup or treatment. I do. Very blessed patient. John M.

I'm so grateful for Dr White and his staff. They worked me in due to a dental emergency! All of the staff were kind and compassionate. Dr White was calm and very polite to his assistant. They worked very well as a team. I felt very comfortable and felt that I was in good hands. Dr White and I discussed fabricating a bite guard for me. He immediately understood what I thought was going to be difficult to explain. Another dental office was not able to comprehend nor fabricate an appropriate bite guard. I am relieved to have found this office. Going to the dentist is not always a pleasant experience, but in this office Dr White and his staff really convey that they want to help you! The office is clean, stylish and welcoming. This made me feel like I was in a competent environment.

This is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. I was referred by my mother in law and was skeptical at first since I hated going to the dentist. This place makes you feel like family the moment you walk in the door. You will feel welcomed right when you walk in and greeted with a genuine hello. Everyone is happy and very professional. These amazing people really do care for their clients and wants what is best for them even when you leave the office. I received a mailed thank you note from Dr white that was hand written thanking me for choosing them and another one signed by all employees congratulating me for my new baby I had. I was shocked they even knew I had my baby but found out later my mother in law called to reschedule an appointment she had due to the birth. For them to take the time out and send me that is amazing and makes me feel like family. My whole family will use this dentist as long as Dr white is in business!! Thank you Dr white for a wonderful experience!!

So incredibly friendly and knowledgeable! Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone was talkative and helpful. They didn't rush me out and did an amazing job at addressed my concerns and questions. The patient questionnaire that I filled out prior to my appointment was very well addressed during my consult. Also, the usually uncomfortable x-ray pieces that they use was not discomforting at all. They did an amazing job placing and avoiding any pain or discomfort at all. I look forward to going back!

The best experience ever! Very impressed that Dr. White completed an interview with me in an office (not dental chair) went over my complete history! First time this has ever happened in my experience! Loved all the staff. . .they have great people skills, explained everything. I have already told my neighbors about my experience. . .had to have a tooth extracted. Post-Op instructions were given to me and key areas high lighted!

I didnt have to wait more than 5 min to get in (which is a blessing)! The entire staff was kind, friendly, and knowledgeable! Dr. White came right in, was thorough with my exam, and talked me through every bit of it. Really calmed my nerves. After my exam and cleaning, I spoke with someone about what my options were and what was necessary, and they didnt try to upsale me on anything. They were upfront with their prices and that means a lot!! I honestly believe that if you are the type of patient with any kind of fear of dentistry, this is the place for you!!

Such a wonderful place to get work done. I just moved to Oklahoma two months ago, and had no idea who a good dentist was. Feb 15th I fell and broke my front tooth(on my birthday, no less). The next morning I called them and they had me come right in. I have SEVERE anxiety at the dentist, but they were SO understanding, patient and kind to me. Literally the best experience at the dentist I've had in my 44 years of life. Dr. White even called me at home later in the day to make sure I was doing ok after the root canal and build up he did. I would recommend this office to anyone who is uncomfortable at the dentist. Dr. White and his staff are phenomenal!
