Great staff and professional dental experts. Greeted me coming into the office and helped to mitigate any COVID -related restrictions. Once seated, I was treated like a family member during both my cleaning and dental exams. Love the hygienist and dentist, they were both gentle and helpful in determining an affordable course of action to restore my smile and tooth structure. Coming from another state, this really does feel like family and I think the level and cost of care are just right for me and my family. I am happy we decided to get our dental care here!!!
