Very pleased with friendliness and professionalism of dentist and staff. My first visit there, but hygienist explained what she was doing gave me a choice of using the manual cleaning tools or the hydro one and explained about not using it on crowns as it tends to leave scratches. Dentist was thorough and very down to earth. Am going to have additional work done and possibly some cosmetic work, as well. It is much more reasonable here than FL where I am moving!

Im gonna start off by saying she is very nice. With that being said i would not go here. I went a couple of times to get fillings done and when she did the filling for my front tooth she didnt do a good job an my order whole front tooth ended up breaking off all the way to the freaking gum. And every single filling she has done has come out. Now i got a missing front tooth, a quarter of another tooth is missing an holes in my teeth where my fillings have come out.
