    Their receptionist was great from my initial inquiry to getting all the correct forms and documents ready prior to my visit. Their state-of-the-art equipment made the screening/x-ray process very quick and easy. Dr. Lai was very professional and offered more than oral/dental care advice. My dental hygienist was great and she really made sure that my cleaning was thoroughly done - all while watching a Netflix show!

    A highly experienced practician whose work suggests many years of experience. We had a very pleasant and accommodating experience from beginning to end. At no point did we experience any unnecessary discomfort. We were informed of upcoming problematic issues as well as the remedy to move forward with. Well done.

    I arrived very late at the dentist (30 mins to be exact) and the reception Debra was very kind and patient. She still explained everything to be and took me in. Dr. Lai didn’t rush the examination and still took his time to go over everything in detail. He took time to explain what wa going on with my teeth and any suggestions to avoid wear. Even the cleaning was very thorough. Amazing customer service.
