I was affordable dentures a couple years ago for a tooth to be pulled, and was satisfied with their work at that time and impressed with their technology and their Equipment. But I didn’t have dental insurance at the time. Now I have dental insurance. Yesterday. I went because I grind my teeth real bad and I had some Front teeth removed last week. I had five molars left, and after my front teeth were removed at night when I was sleeping I continued to grind my teeth, but I was grinding my teeth into my pallet and my gums And it was quite painful. They couldn’t take me on Monday, but they took me on Tuesday at 9 o’clock in the morning. I filled out my paperwork and sat down in the dentist chair at 10 o’clock. By 1030 he had removed all five molars and I was on my way back home. Wonderful people wonderful equipment a great place to have your dental proceduresdone.

I have never been fond of going to a dentist since I was a child but I did. Dr Carter is fantastic not only in his professional skills but as a gentleman. His soothing personality help to relax me and his assistant Mica was so attentive. What a team. I have a lot of work to be done but am looking forward since it was painless and so professional
