“I could never say enough about Dr.Palhan. She is by far the best dentist I have ever had. I drive all the way from South Fort Worth to see her. She’s kind , relatable, helpful - anything and everything you would want from a provider. She won’t over sell you on treatments and she informs you what is going on , what your adoptions are and what to expect. If you have dental work chose her you won’t regret it 1000/10 I would recommend!!!! ”

“Today I visited Enamel Dental for a routine check-up as a new patient, and I had a great experience. The warm and welcoming environment made me feel comfortable right away.
The staff were friendly and attentive. They guided me through the X-rays and made sure I was at ease in the chair. They clearly explained each step and showed genuine care during my visit.
Dr. Shalu Palhan was excellent. She was patient, gentle, and thorough. She took the time to explain my situation in detail and answered all my questions. During the cleaning, she focused on every area, even the hard to reach areas, ensuring I felt comfortable.
The office is modern and clean, made the process smooth and efficient.
Overall, I felt well cared for from start to finish. I highly recommend anyone looking for a dentist in the area.”
