The office staff were incredibly friendly, Dr. Blackmon was professional and kind. He didn’t try to sell any treatments, but asked to make sure I was using a night guard that had been made by a dentist. I appreciated his minimalistic approach to my care, as my teeth have never had any problems.

The best dentist I've ever had! I would describe him as professional, and compassionate. I've been going there for almost 3 years and he has always been gentle and thorough with my teeth. His team always takes their time to explain every little thing, and I never felt rushed or just like another patient. And dental assistant Karen is so sweet, it makes me feel like Im back home in Arkansas. She is gentle and thorough as well, you can just tell she genuinely cares about what she does. Then there's the front desk ladies 😁, Amber and Donna, the faces you see when you walk in the door. Everytime I walk in the office they always welcome me with a smile. They have helped me with so many different problems with insurance over the years. The whole team has all truly went above and beyond, with the kind of hospitality that’s hard to come by these days. Highly recommend 👌 👍 👏 🙌
