Great visit with Dr. Ermias Semaie! Had a thorough cleaning and X-rays, which showed two small cavities. The hygienist was gentle and professional, and Dr. Semaie did the fillings quickly, pain-free, and they look perfect—no sensitivity after. Friendly team, clean office, and I felt totally comfortable. Highly recommend—I’ll be back!

If you are someone who has dental anxiety, look no further! Dr. Semaie and everyone who works at Pure Dental Care are incredibly friendly, gentle, and reassuring. First, I learned a lot about my teeth and the processes that I needed and why. This isn’t something I’ve ever gotten from any other office! Dr. Semaie involved me in the reviewing of my X-rays, making sure I understood what needed doing before moving forward. I needed fillings and to fix a chipped front tooth, and as someone with a lot of anxiety, I was dreading it. But we did it right then and there after my initial cleaning, Dr. Semaie explained what he was doing and why, he used plenty of numbing so that I was completely comfortable while he worked, and he even put on music so I had something to focus on. I have never had an experience at a dental office where I have unclenched my body entirely before I came to Pure Dental Care. I cannot recommend this place and these people enough!

I had a great experience at this dental clinic. Dr. Ermias was attentive and explained my case clearly, including related issues. He answered all my questions thoroughly. I visited twice in November 2025. First was for an annual check-up and then for a filling. Both visits went smoothly. The staff were friendly and supportive throughout. Highly recommended.

Very communicative and informative about what to expect throughout the visit. Took the time to explain the reasons behind everything and was efficient, too. Plus, I can’t stop smiling every time I pass a mirror—the teeth cleaning was excellent!

This office is awesome! I contacted them and was able to get seen the next day. The doctor was extremely kind and told me what he was going to do before he did it, which is awesome because of my fear of the dentist. The staff was just as friendly! Great service!

I had a wonderful experience at Pure Dental Care with Dr. Ermias Semaie. I went in to get a veneer for a discolored tooth, and I’m so happy with the results. The entire process was smooth and completely pain-free. Dr. Semaie chose a shade that matches my natural teeth perfectly, and he was very educational throughout the visit—explaining how to keep my oral health in great condition. I also really appreciated how welcoming and friendly the staff were. The office is clean, organized, and has a calming atmosphere. I felt comfortable from the moment I walked in. I highly recommend Dr. Semaie and the team at Pure Dental Care!
The entire staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr. Semaie was very receptive to my concerns and talked me through every step of the procedure. I will continue to come back and would recommend their services!
