In short

Of the 9 low-rated reviews read from October 2023 onward, 5 mention trouble getting or keeping an appointment. The praise goes to cleanings described as gentle, thorough and pain-free, and to an office design people find attractive or modern. It is closed weekends, so it is harder to fit around a 9-to-5.

How we read these

What they can help with

Dental implants: how it works ShowA natural molar beside a dental implant: a crown on an abutment, joined to a titanium post set in the jawbone, which bone grows onto over several months.
Braces & Invisalign: how it works ShowFront teeth with braces, brackets joined by a wire, beside front teeth in a clear removable aligner tray.
Veneers & cosmetic: how it works ShowA front tooth with a veneer, a thin shell on the front surface only, beside a front tooth with a crown covering all of it above the gum.
Gum treatment: how it works ShowThree molars: a healthy gum; gum disease with tartar below the gum line, a pocket and bone loss; and after deep cleaning, the tartar gone and the root smoothed.
Sedation & nervous patients: how it works ShowA scale of four sedation levels from most to least awake: minimal, moderate, deep and general anesthesia.
