I highly recommend this place as I had severe anxiety of dealing with my dental issues, but Dr. Carter and his staff were so friendly and very compassionate in assuring me that my procedure would be painless and they were right. Also a BIG SHOUT out to Kelsie Ducre one of the dental assistants who was very down to earth and personable. She really walked me though everything that was going to happen with so much patience and made me feel comfortable as I know I was terrified, but she really helped a lot with reassuring me that I would be fine and when it was done, I told her YOU WERE RIGHT, lol. Her reply was GIRL I TOLD YOU I GOT YOU, she is the best.

My 1st consultation went very well. I was very impressed with the honest assessment Dr. Carter provided. The staff (Kelcy & Jo'nesha) were very attentive and pleasant. I plan to move forward with the treatment plan for dentures.

I have a long history of severe dental anxiety and many years of health related dental issues. The staff at this location has been nothing but friendly and wonderful on this journey thus far. I am very happy with the care and service I've recieved thus far and would definitely reccomend this facility to others! The staff has been nothing but friendly every single visit. I normally don't do reviews like this, but I know how important reading the reviews was for me when I was trying to choose what facility I was going to have this work done at, so here we are. My smile is beautiful and my teeth are functional again! Life changing. I will be continuing to have more work done here until I have completed this dental journey.

Everyone, either on the phone, texts & in person, the entire staff were so professional & caring! As much as I really don't like going into a Dentist office, because of past bad experiences...I really felt cared for and not embarrassed by the condition of my teeth! One solution after the other, gave me hope that this time, I WILL GET MY SMILE BACK! Thanks guys!!!
