I visited Wallingford Station Family Dental for the first time and I had a very smooth and pleasant visit. Jolene my hygienist was so fun to talk with and did a great cleaning. Dr. Steve was easy going and knowledgeable. I didn't feel like I was being sold on unnecessary procedures and was at ease my entire visit. It was the best dentist visit I've ever had.

I saw Jolene for a cleaning and told her about a problem I was having with a tooth. She did an x-ray and Dr. Steve came in and discussed it with me and answered all my questions. Everyone here is so friendly and great at their jobs, they are the best!

Nice, clean office, friendly staff! Dr. Howarth Jr. is exceptional in the care he delivers. I have routine visits here and have had some additional cosmetic work. He has a great eye for detail and did not give up until I was 100% satisfied. I will be forever grateful for his skill and patience during the lengthy process. I would definitely recommend this practice.

I've always had an amazing experience here with my family. The staff treats you like family and they are sooooo good with kids. Also they didn't say a word about my 3 year old not wearing a mask. I wouldn't take him anywhere else, especially during this covid time. Very comfortable environment. Cool trains in the waiting room :)

Great dentist with friendly service and a nice text reminder system. Dr. Howarth (the son) did a great job installing a crown and giving me two fillings.

We all hate going to the dentist, but in the 38 years I have been seeing Drs. Howarths, I have never dreaded going there. It's relaxing and friendly. They are perfectionists and do the job right the first time. You also get some good laughs.

Thank you, Jolene and Dr. Steve! You do a great job with me and especially my almost 5 year old! Jolene was super patient with my son, explained everything she was doing and all the tools she was using in age appropriate terms. Dr. Steve also had a great chairside manner. My son felt comfortable throughout the visit and even got some prizes from the bin for doing so well. I really appreciate the time/effort taken to ensure that going to the dentist is a positive experience for my little one.

Dr. Steven Jr. Is AWESOME! Our whole family loves him. He is meticulous and throughly explains everything he is doing. And everything he does is First Class. I've had few dentists in my lifetime and while they were all good, none can compare to him! He is the best!!! Oh, and my wife feels even more strongly about him than I do!
