So happy I found this dentist!! Very cool office and super nice people. Dr. Tanner is fantastic! He listened to my concerns and is very precise and knows what he is doing. I’ve gotten two implants done and some other work. Highly recommend this practice.

Best place ever. I highly recommend them to anyone who loves excellent and professional work done. The staff is amazing. No need to look any further once you go and experience what I’m saying. Thanks Dr Procter and team for everything you do and have done.

Such a great office! And my kids love the “kids day” they do once a month for cleanings. They make them feel special and not nervous at all

Richard M.

I had a small cavity in a front tooth and Dr Proctor changed color on entire tooth to match my partial. Looks so much better. Thank you! I was very self conscious about the color difference.

Super professional and friendly! Highly recommend AJ and Team. Everytime I spend almost no time in the 'waiting' room and I'm treated with kindness

I've been to a lot of dentists in my day... a lot! These guys are great, they're super nice, helpful and accommodating. They did great work, this was my first visit and i'm a long time patient of theirs now.
