Testimonials

    Dr. Smith reviewed my dental health and provided ideas and suggestions for maintaining good health.  He was very informative and made good use of their video technology to show me places to watch.

    Dr. Craig and his entire staff make you feel comfortable during your whole visit.  I was very pleased with the procedure I had done yesterday.  The work was done so professionally, that I didn't even feel any discomfort afterward.  I would definitely recommend this dental office to anyone looking for great service and an excellent dentist.

Left untreated, this decay can spread to the interior of the tooth, and might lead to the need for a crown, a root canal, or even extraction. When caught early, your dentist can ...
