I love Cliffside Dental. Dr. Kumar is very personable & professional. This office is one I can trust. Dr. Jackson's specialization in cosmetic denistry is amazing! He performs procedures with extreme care & strives for perfection. They truely care about what's important to me & my kids: dental hygiene and an appearance to be confident & proud of. Amy is the best with preventive care & cleaning. I wouldn't take my kids or myself anywhere else.
