I recently had a bridge placed by Dr. Bates and his assistant, Samantha, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. What impressed me most was the level of care and precision they brought to every step of the process. They took photos, checked the fit repeatedly, filed it down with incredible attention to detail, and had me bite down several times to make sure the alignment was perfect.nnWatching them work, you get the sense that they’re creating something. Both operate with the focus and finesse of artists making sure every brushstroke is exactly right.nnThe final fit feels natural and comfortable, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Amazing office staff and very accommodating as a new patient transferring from Srq. Dr was extremely pleasant and explained thoroughly what he was doing along with dental hygenist. Love all the new technology they have which makes it easier to visualize and see what is in need of prevention or corrections to avoid future issues. Basically cannot say enough good things about their service, expertise and professionalism! Happy new patient, Theresa Murphy

Fantastic office with great staff. The happiest office you could ever visit. Tracy is an excellent hygienist, and has been cleaning my teeth for more than 7 years. Dr. Bates leads his team with so much joy and happiness, while also being extremely gentle.
