I've been going to the dental shoppe since I was 18. I needed a lot of work done in my mouth due to my childhood and from the start Dr.Langefeld has been working on my mouth and they have made me feel like family and Dr. Langefeld has done so much for me. I'm so grateful. Today I got my permanent crowns done and I'm so happy with them that I was actually crying of joy. I've worked so hard with Dr. Langefeld to get my mouth nice and pretty and be confident in my smile I'm not done but I am so beyond grateful to have them as my dentist.

I've been seeing Dr. Doug and his team for about 30 years, along with Dr Czapala and Dr Matthei. They have always given me a pain-free experience. When I was younger and still getting cavities they let me take advantage of payment plans. They never try to force x-rays on me if my mouth looks and feels good. If you've had a bad experience elsewhere, I highly recommend giving this place a chance as they've always made me comfortable and actually look forward to visits.

I am so grateful to Dr. Czapla. He helped me right away when I was in so much pain. I have been misdiagnosed by a different dentist months ago, who never even looked at my teeth, only at the x-ray his assistant took. Where Dr Czapla immediately knew what was up and took care of the problem that got out of control because of misdiagnosis by another person. I am so thankful that there are such great and caring professionals like Dr. Czapla. Over the years he helped us out with every dental emergency promptly and the experience was great! Thank you so much Dr. Czapla.

I had a crown come off from a different dentist. Called and they saw me the next morning and cemented it back into place. It came off again a couple weeks later, at no fault of The Dental Shoppe and they did another repair, this time for no charge. Haven't had any issues since. Very friendly staff and dentists, I have seen two out of the three, with the exception of Dr. Langenfeld (I did hear him and he seems like a very nice guy). Very professional and took all necessary precautions with the current heath crisis. Highly recommended.

I have never felt like home when I walk in there. They are very gentle and very caring. Especially I don't like going to the dentist

I was suppose to have an appointment at 4, and they did not call me at all ahead time to confirm my appointment on this day at 4:00, I am very upset and unpressed it's unprofessional, they don't even have there hours up on the door, not only that but they don't have a direct line to there office either. You guys need to evaluate and follow up with your clients instead of having me take time out of my day to show up for nothing. Thanks I WILL NEVER BE GOING TO YOU GUYS AGAIN THANKS.

I have been going to this practice since I was a child and they were in another location. They are always polite, professional, and caring. They take the time to talk with you, get to know you and provide excellent care and recommendations for your dental health. I can't say enough good things about the hygienists and dentists here!
