The best gentle dental location I’ve been to. They actually take you in on time and are very helpful in explaining procedures and pricing to you. The dentist Dr. Watanabe was very polite and has great bedside manner. He explained everything well and I didn’t feel judged for the state of my oral health. He also was very gentle while doing my cleaning and verbalized every step during the entire process. Scheduling and staff are wonderful and my husband and I will continue to come here!

I have an enormous fear of going to the dentist. I still go, but my anxiety is always through the roof. Most of it comes from childhood dental trauma—dating myself here. I remember having a tooth pulled with nowhere near enough painkiller, and feeling both the pressure and pain of the drill. Back then, the dentists in my neighborhood were pretty detached from their patients, which only made it worse.nnAfter today’s visit I feel far more at ease. I appreciate how gentle both the hygentist and the Dentist were. I left with a renewed sense of peace. My Dentist was very informative. They’ve made coming back for my routine care a pleasure not a pain.
