    Dr. Helen was very meticulous in discussing the state of my dental health with me. For every concern I had / she found, she went into detail regarding the cause , solution and preventative measures. I was thoroughly impressed by the authenticity in the experience. Not only did she not suggest unnecessary procedures, she adviced against some that I brought up. Dr. Helen switched from computer science into dentistry to be able to help people and that really shows.

    Amazing first time experience! Firstly, it was a welcoming environment which followed with a tour around the rooms. She was very thorough and detailed during the entire process which I loved. Definitely glad I’ve found my place to go whenever I need dental care!

    Great team, amazingly clean facility and well decorated/comfy. I went for a first appointment/cleaning. They explained everything from the cost breakdown to the procedure for the day more clearly than any dentist's office in the past. Everything was done very professionally and with minimal discomfort/pain.
