Great staff!! Everyone was so helpful. I’m a single dad of 3 boys so any help is always good. I️ take my boys here for their dental cleaning and two of my sons were approved for braces by their insurance. Also my oldest will be having his wisdom teeth pulled soon. I️ definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great dentist that offers it all.

This establishment is full of nice and helpful people. Today, Rena helped us and installed my daughters braces. She was super nice and did really well with my daughter. My daughter said that she like Rena and she made the experience a good one. My daughter is super shy, but said she felt comfortable with Rena. Thank you for the service you provided. I would definitely recommend this establishment.

TLDR: Don't go here. Just. Don't. Terrible. Care. Front desk staff consistently have no idea what they're talking about. They will give you answers to questions that should come from the dentist but they don't even bother asking, they just give you incorrect information. *This was confirmed THREE TIMES by asking the doc directly*. But the real problem is this - A year after we had braces put on my daughter, and after she'd complained a dozen plus times about clicking when we'd tighten her expander or when she wore bands. . .

after them ignoring that complaint the entire first YEAR, suddenly they were worried about TMJ. So they sent us to get the ok from a specialist. Cool. I'd rather be safe than sorry. This specialist was an hour from my home and took months to get in. Finally, we get it all done. Specialist says she's fine to continue braces treatment, it's likely because we have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome in the family (joint hypermobility) and she can pop her jaw joint if she wants to. The exact same way I can. Literally has nothing to do with TMJ. Orthodontist says that's not good enough and refused to continue adjusting her braces. I finally went back and said just take them the **** off because they refused to continue care.

Waste of money, waste of time. Don't believe the good reviews. I'm all about good dental care, but these people don't give a damn about your teeth. We have been back once for a retainer check and will return once more to get the ok to only wear them at night. Then we will never go back. And I will never recommend them to anyone. Half treatment, full payment. No. Just no. Terrible.
