Patient Testimonials Request AppointmentI needed some deep cleaning in my pockets and they were able to see me on short notice. When I came in they did a 360° scan of my teeth, so they were able to pinpoint the exact problems that I had. Since the procedure, I feel like my gums aren’t as sensitive to cold water and stuff like that were able to help out. The procedure was quite painless. It was easy, fast without even feeling rushed.
