I cannot glow brightly enough or rave loudly enough about Pearl Dental. From the moment I entered through the door I immediately knew this was a different kind of dentist experience.nnThe two front desk staff, Lisa and Dianne, had never met me yet they greeted me as if I were an old friend, sharing their gift of gab to remind me of our shared humanity and love for hockey (I was wearing a Hartford Whalers hat).nnI could hear laughter throughout the office as providers chatted pleasantly with patients and each other. I could tell this was a special place full of staff who were happy to be here. At no point in my visit did it feel like I was inconveniencing anyone or that their job was a drag.nnMy cleaning was painless and comfortable and the neighborly Dr. Pearl made me feel right at home. I found out I need a filling and Lisa and Dianne worked diligently to make sure I understood my payment options. I’ve never been so excited to go back for a filling!nnThank you Pearl Dentistry!
