Dr. Tom & Wife are Top Notch when it comes to Dental Care for OTR Commercial Drivers. Dr. Tom explained the situation I was having with my toothache and did an extraction in no time without any pain. He also gives care instructions after the procedure, I’m back on the road, pain free, many thanks. So glad their office is there, Safe Travels.

Dr. Tom really treated me amazing. I had an infected tooth that had to come out and no one could get me in for months. I was able to get in next day with Dr. Tom. He was so gentle and kind. Saying step by step of what he was doing the whole time.

Well worth the time and money to go get it out. Plus- he let me keep the tooth. I would definitely recommend him to everyone. Just amazing Dr. Thank you so much Dr Tom and Amy.

Dr Tom said to leave a review that said it hurt so much and that I will never be going back 🤣🤣 Ok so, heres my story: I went to the ER for tooth/jaw pain. They gave me something to get by until i could see my dentist. my dentist was going to have me wait for the oral surgeon, but they couldn't get me in until 6 weeks later. Eventually the pain was bad enough I took the ER nurse's recommendation and called this place. I called at 9am, they had me in at 11, I was out by noon. This was for a wisdom tooth that was broken and started to turn necrotic.

I went in, scared. I'm a huge wuss with the dentist. Dr Tom and his wife kept jokes back and forth with the both of them and me, and Dr Tom explained each thing he was doing. He made sure I was fully numb before starting, and other than pressure, I didn't feel anything. 10/10 would recommend.

I read the reviews and at first thought maybe they had a promotion if you left a review and maybe that was why the reviews were so great. . . but no, they have ABSOLUTELY earned every great review. Tom and Amy ARE AMAZING!!! I cannot say it enough. I have severe dental anxiety and he was patient with me. . . . (Amy held my hand. . . ) if I could give them a 20 out of 5.

. . I would still give them 50 stars. Painless, how can the dentist be painless? I don't know but it's true. . . I had a huge abcess and ended up needing 2 teeth pulled. Less than 20 minutes is all it took and it was done. Thank you guys so much. Thank you. . .
