“Wonderful experience! As someone who has a lot of anxiety around the dentist I was put at ease on arrival.”
Loren D.January 19, 2026
“What a wonderful dentist and staff! Sofia was super sweet, took her time with my X-rays, and was so friendly, putting me at ease as I normally get very anxious going to the dentist. Dr. Dhanesh was also extremely friendly, and made me feel at home, going over everything in a calm and caring manner. I’m so thankful I found this dentist, and highly recommend him and his office! Thank you!”

I have been going here since before I could remember and everyone has always been so nice and kind. Always welcoming and sweet, everyone including the receptionist, assistants, and Dr Pore himself. He still remembers my favorite band from when I was 6 was Big Time Rush even now that I am 20 ha ha. Definitely recommend, always a pleasure coming here every 6 months! Very light on my teeth, very careful. Love the music to get it off my mind. I feel very at ease here.
