“I do not enjoy going to the dentist and fill with anxiety every time I do. This office was great. I had literally no wait before being seen. Everyone was kind and patient. I appreciated being shown images on a large screen of where my problem areas are, made it easy to understand what was being recommended. 10 out of 10 experience.”

“This was a new patient exam, since I lost my previous dentist last year and needed to find a new one. Dr. Busch was highly recommended. The general exam and x-ray process was efficient and staff was friendly. The room used was a bit tight, but the staff got the prep work done fairly easily (a bigger room would be nice!). Looking forward to future treatment plan and services.”

My son Justin chiped his front tooth and was very upset. Dr. Busch created a wonderful and calm environment. Justin was super excited to see his tooth.

He was so wonderful with my 100 year old grandma. He added implants to my grandma's denture and it was a great experience. He had a wonderful bedside manner and she loved him.
