It was my first time coming to the dentist in 5 plus years and I am a very nervous person. They made me feel comfortable and it was pain free. I will be coming back for my future appointments.

Great little nook of a dentistry. I hadn’t had dental care in about a decade, and was pleased to step into a judgement-free zone here. Dr. Salazar and Angela, the hygienist, are all very knowledgeable and create a very comfortable environment. There’s no long waits, delays, or bad communication. They try their best to make every procedure as pain-free as possible, check for comfort every step of the way, and give a great explanation of insurance coverage or financial options for different things—which I had a lot of!

It’s been a while since I’ve had consistent dental care, and he didn’t make me feel stupid for neglecting myself. He made me feel comfortable and welcome and made me want to return.

He explained the treatment that needs to be done thoroughly. He is very personable and he took time to answer all my questions. The hygienist that cleaned my teeth had very light hands which made my cleaning more or less painless.
