Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. My first time in and it was one of the best dental visits I have ever experienced.

Mikaela Menzer

I can’t recommend Naila enough! She is an amazing dental assistant who truly cares about the patients. The office and staff are both lovely and welcoming, making my visit an extremely pleasant experience.

Evette S

I recently visited Destiny, my dental hygienist, and the experience was exceptional. Her warm demeanor and professionalism immediately put me at ease. Destiny’s gentle and precise technique made the cleaning process painless and stress-free. She explained each step clearly and provided excellent advice for maintaining oral hygiene. I highly recommend Destiny for her outstanding service and genuine care for her patients.

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
