What Our Clients Are Saying About Our Dental Services

This is the best dentist office I have ever been in!! I did not see the dentist during the visit but the last time I did, he was great! My hygienist was the best I have ever had and believe me I have had my share. She was patient, kind and funny, LOVE HER!!

D. Gilles

Absolutely recommend them! I am new to this area and Dr. Matt and Noel, my hygienist, have taken great care of me. The staff is also very friendly! I really appreciated Shawna calling me and following up to make sure I could get in when my tooth was hurting me.
J. Monfrey

By far the best dental office! They are so good with our kids and gentle with the adults. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!

J. Dearinger

I went in to get two wisdom teeth out today and it couldn’t have gone any smoother. The staff were all incredibly polite and exceeded my expectations of comfort. After the extractions I went home and feel great, no pain at all. Thank you for the great work and look forward to future visits!

K. Perry III

Matt and Shawna are just so much fun! I love them. I like coming to dental appointments when its with them.

W. Davies

I am immediately put at ease when I am greeted by name when I walk in. I have neck and back issues and am unable to layback in the dental chair, everyone helps me with pillows to make me comfortable.

J. Petersen

Extremely pleasant environment and staff all around. Matt, my hygienist, was able to care for my sensitive teeth in a way that was comfortable and pain free. LOVE this dental office!!

C. Miller

All was GRREAT, the waiting area, everyone there. They all make you feel very safe and welcome!!!

J. Hart

Dr. Matt and Shawna have helped me twice for an emergency visit. I appreciate him more than I could express. It is not fun to lose your front tooth twice but he took me in and fixed it both times and this was not when the office was open.

B. Wellington

When you’re there you’re family, when you leave you’re still family. Never a disappointing visit. The brothers are amazing and the staff is beyond the best.

S. Joens-Wofford

Dr.Matt is the most AMAZING dentist I have ever come across, not only to myself but my daughter. Very caring and concerned about questions concerns ect. I would highly recommend this office to any and everyone.

J. Clinger

Best experience I’ve ever had and feel like every visit just gets better no matter what your there for. I ended up having to come with my 2 and 3 year old because of lack of sitter and everyone was so happy and sweet to the little ones, even got them a dentist mask and gloves so they could check my teeth out. Also when they started getting rowdy they were met not with frustration but balloon animals and fun. Highly recommend this place to everyone!.
S. Draves

Awesome place. I actually love it there, lol. They are very attentive and at my second appt, they greeted me by name as soon as I came through the door.
D. Humbert

My son was having a horrible problem with his mouth. I called and was able to get him in the same day even being a new patient. When we arrived, the girl at the front desk was so sweet and helpful and so was the dental assistant. Dr Matt was very nice and my son just adored him. What blew me away was getting a personal call that evening from the Dr himself checking on my son and letting me know he is available if we need him over the weekend. I have never had this great of an experience ever!!!!
R. Adams

When I see friends whom I have referred to this office, they ask me, “Are they really that nice??” Yep. Through and through. Starting with the doctors and throughout the entire staff, they cultivate a caring environment infused with lots of fun. All while providing top notch care..
S. Snyder

They are simply the best!!! So caring and knowledgeable.
Pam Y.

Absolute “BEST” dental experience of my life. I recommend them to everyone!!!! I have always had anxiety at the thought of a dental visit. Today was an amazing visit, & I’m so thankful to everyone in the office for making today a Great day!!! I am actually looking forward to my next visit. Thank you All.
Krysta G.

Such a sweet and helpful office. They go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and make the visit a personal experience. I am grateful to be their patient!

When you’re there you’re family, when you leave you’re still family. Never a disappointing visit. The brothers are amazing and the staff is beyond the best.

Everyone has been very kind and incredibly professional. I have had some bad experiences in the past and coming to the dentist is worse than seeing a lawyer. It has been very different here and you have already gained another patient, my daughter. Tommie has been very gentle and already it has been a great experience. From the very first phone call we had with the front desk we have been treated so well.
A Happy Patient
