While I was previously seen by dental hygenist Linda and Andrea, Lucia performed the cleaning professionally without any pain.

It's easier and far less expensive to extract and insert posts for implants. So, I'm committed to the process for creating a gorgeous new smile. Everyone is FANTASTIC. KIND. EVEN LOVING to me. Dr. Sandra is my dentist, and she knows what she's doing!!! She explained the entire procedure and made sure I understood the process for creating the new teeth in the area of the previous bridge. I'm an Advanced Senior Citizen (an old lady), and everyone helped me and made sure I was comfortable, warm, etc. I now have a dentist and dental office I trust. The offices are relatively new (2024, I think), and they are STATE OF THE ART with great dental and testing equipment, along with great staff and a terrific office manager. Plus, it's all white, new, and clean!! Clean, like a hospital. I love that.

I was told I couldn't get a standard cleaning and was instead pushed toward additional services I didn't feel I needed. The only option offered was a "deep cleaning," starting at $270, which felt unnecessary in my situation. It was frustrating not to be given a basic, covered option. Overall, the experience felt more focused on upselling than patient care. I wouldn't recommend if you're simply looking for a straightforward, routine visit.

10/10 experience! I recently went here for a standard cleaning and it was my first time at this…read moredentist. Long story short, everything was great and this will definitely be my primary dentist going forward. The staff was very professional, communicative, and made the whole process super streamlined. They had plenty of availability, which was really nice. I was able to book an appointment with only a couple days notice, which made it really easy to get seen. Dr. Fadi was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, efficient, answered all my questions, and made the whole visit feel easy. The dental hygienist was amazing as well. The cleaning was very smooth and there was no pain at all, which is always nice when getting your teeth cleaned. One thing I also really appreciated was that everyone was friendly and helpful, but they also didn't try to carry a whole conversation while actively working on my teeth, which honestly was great because you can't really answer anyway. It made the cleaning feel very relaxed and comfortable. The scheduling staff was also very helpful with setting up my next appointment and proactive about looking into my insurance, which I really appreciated. Overall, 10/10 experience. Very professional, easy, and comfortable from start to finish. I will definitely be returning and would absolutely recommend this dentist!

I thought it was weird since I took decent care of my oral hygiene but I got scared and said yes to everything bc it had been a while I seen a dentist. Came in for my first cleaning and oh my god, I never been in that much pain in a dentist office before, including when I had to get multiple wisdom teeth out. The dentist also seemed like she was upset about how much "work" I needed? If just cleaning hurt that much, ain't no way I was coming back to get a root canal here. Went to a different dentist, and was told all I needed was ONE filling and a cleaning (mentioned I had just gotten one in a different place and was told I had stains and some buildup in the back of my mouth that they recommended getting take care of). Ended up spending 1/8 of the money I was originally quoted. Moral of the story? Second opinion is everything. Can't say I would recommend Dental center to anyone.

Before my appointment, no one reviewed or explained the charges for my deep cleaning. I have dual PPO insurance, and I know deep cleanings are covered, yet I was still charged a significant out-of-pocket amount. I was never informed that a laser would be used, nor that it would be an additional charge per quadrant. I assumed it was part of the standard procedure. This was never discussed or consented to prior to treatment. Even more concerning, my son and I were separated and taken to different rooms, and they proceeded to do multiple fillings on my son without ever informing me how many were needed or asking for my consent. No one came to explain the treatment plan before starting, during my own procedure, or afterward. As a parent, this is completely unacceptable. At no point was I given a clear treatment plan or cost breakdown for either of us. Despite having dual insurance coverage, I was still charged $621 out of pocket. When I asked for an itemized receipt, I was told they could not provide one, which is a huge red flag. This office feels extremely money-driven, with poor communication and questionable consent practices. I truly regret not paying closer attention to the reviews before booking here. Transparency, consent, and trust are critical in healthcare--and this office failed on all three. Please avoid this place and protect yourself and your family.
