Dr. Forge is sensitive and has a gentle touch. Any time I’ve been anxious about a visit, it’s proven to be unnecessary because of how smoothly and quickly she works. I feel no discomfort and have been encouraged to improve my dental hygiene under Dr. Forge’s care. Visiting the dentist is no longer a daunting feeling because I know I’m taken care of.

The clinic is beautiful, and the service is excellent. From scheduling an appointment to check-in and treatment, I had a smooth and comforting experience.
The staff were very professional and friendly. After my dental procedure was complete, the check-out process was just as efficient.
I will be back for sure, and I definitely recommend CDI Dental.
PS: Loved the little gift!
