Best dentist I ever went to. On a level above all other dentists! Allison is the best dental hygienist I have ever had! Dr. Joy is awesome! Wow! Update 8/26: Saw Allison this week. She rocks! Update 11/11/2026: Allison’s nickname should be Painfree. Great job!

I came here after I saw an ad on instagram and I'm so happy I came across it because Dr. Packard and his team were so helpful and sweet. They showed me around before sitting me down for a consult which I felt was really nice and welcoming. Dr. Packard was so helpful and explained everything...

I usually have anxiety going to the dentist but they made me feel so comfortable and I'll definitely come back! :)

Dr.Matt and staff are wonderful. Procedure was explained in great detail. Selfie is taken 5 days post dental surgery. Full implants on uppers old crowns had decay underneath. All my upper teeth were crowned. Options were discussed pros and cons weighed. I have been going to this dental group over 50 years and trust them implicitly. I still have several months of healing but know all will go well. 11/9/2026. This is an update. Things are going well it’s been 10 months since the original surgery. Permanent implants received in June and all is well. I have had several checkups and a couple of crowns changed to correct my bite. I am extremely happy. Photo in pink a few days after the surgery. The photo with a black background was taken in May 2026 still with temporaries. The last photo is with my permanent implants received. An improved smile for sure!
