We have been going here for a few years now and it’s a great dental place. Denise is always welcoming and somehow remembers our whole family. Dr Cheska is very friendly and always happy to see us. We went out of network for our insurance and we did go somewhere else but came running back. They take cleaning very serious and we love that. Awesome people and great place to take care of your teeth.

This is the best dentist I've ever been to, and I don't say that lightly. I have trauma/anxiety with going to the dentist, but Dr. Avery is so knowledgeable, gentle, and good at what she does. All of the staff are accommodating and kind. The location is excellent, and the building is very nicely decorated and comforting. I had my first crown done last year, and Dr. Avery was incredibly gentle and patient with me. I have learned so much about oral hygiene since coming here.

Dr. Avery and team are exceptional individuals. Communication is amazing - personal care and touch can be felt from the moment you enter the very inviting waiting room. The break down of their care plan and the time they spend explaining process is outstanding. Thank you for a wonderful experience - I'll be sure to tell others.
