I had a great experience. Everyone was very welcoming from the front desk to the hygienists to Dr. Applegate. I felt I received good, & honest care as well.

The dental hygienist was very careful and skillful in cleaning and polishing my teeth. Dr. Applegate and her staff are excellent in providing me updates on my teeth and I especially like how they look for ways to improve my teeth. They're great about giving me fore warnings about possible tooth problems that I may need to address or prevent. And the dental hygienist, Violet, is very caring and personable.

I had a fantastic experience - both the hygenist and the Dr. were very professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. The office was clean, and everyone was very nice. Dr. Applegate gave me an excellent, honest evaluation for whitening and Invisalign, as well.
