Highly suspect if reviews are from reliable source. i went there cus a fb recommendation. Horrible service. Dentist would do excessive work on your teeth without legit reason, until your tooth has been so drilled and nerve exposed and you have to get a root canal( pain pain pain $$$). Hygenists 's service are not consistent. Some would perform cleaning with a tool like a hook to manually remove plaque, another hygienist will use the machine drill.... ( maybe for their convenience but not sure too good for your teeth since mechanical drill will also grind the tooth surface thin) Depending on which hygienist you run into, you start to question is there a standard way for doing things?

I feel genuinely and honestly that everyone cares about the person as well as their teeth and what is best and appropriately conservative for them. Literally pain free and relaxing. Thank you for the great care.

I just had maybe one of the best experiences with dentistry ever. I went in with three cavities and they fixed me up in less than an hour. They knew I was nervous and made me feel so comfortable. At the end of the hour I asked them when I should come in to fill the other cavities, and they told me that they'd filled them in already without me even noticing! Pain free, comfortable, and wonderful experience. The staff is amazing and personable.

Had my usual 4 month dental cleaning. My hygienist Marilyn was very thorough, explaining every step of the way. Very pleased with the experience. My dentist Dr Putt used this new device to detect potential cancerous/problematic issues. They seem to be always ahead of the pack and I am very pleased with their service and accommodation.
