What our patients say about us
"I was in a lot of pain and my teeth in particular my back molars were in terrible shape and Dr. Dancy was so thorough yet gentle. He was transparent about the dental work that I needed to prioritize and understanding about my concerns regarding price point. Honestly it was the best dental work experience i have ever had. Highly recommend him and his team!"
-Susana
"My family has been receiving dental care from this location for around 70 years. All of the staff has been friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. It’s great to see the company continue to grow and hire more staff. I always enjoy talking with my hygienist, Robin. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to excellence! I highly recommend this dental office to all."
-Peter
"My wife and I got our teeth cleaned and deep cleaned. All earlier gum infections/pain are gone. It has been a new life to both of us. With reasonable price as we are without insurance. I thank the Doctor and his team for the nice treatment."
-Sushil

Modern Dentistry with a Gentle Touch

We understand how busy you are; that’s why we do our best to stay on schedule and respect your time. Using the latest technological advancements enables us to deliver efficient care and keep you comfortable.

Some of the technology we utilize includes the following:

  • Digital x-rays and 3-D dental imaging — With digital x-rays and 3-D dental imaging, we can provide precise images with less radiation exposure, improving your treatment outcomes and eliminating the need for goopy impressions.
  • Intraoral camera — If we need to show you what’s going on inside your mouth, our pen-sized intraoral camera displays images in real time so we can include you in the treatment planning process.
  • Laser dentistry — Our soft tissue laser uses a beam of light to perform numerous procedures, allowing for faster healing, less discomfort, and a decreased chance of infection.
  • 3-D printer — We even have an in-office 3-D printer that enables us to create nightguards and dental models, aiding in treatment planning and patient education.
  • Nitrous oxide — If going to the dentist makes you feel scared or anxious, we offer nitrous oxide to keep you calm during your time with us.
