“Finally Felt Heard”

“I had my first appointment here after being with my family dentist my entire life. This dentist office made me feel so welcome, heard and I know they truly wanted to provide me the best service possible when it came to the health of my teeth. They reviewed a plan with me of different options and were very transparent on pricing/what insurance covers. They are very good about explaining what is going on during your visit. I would highly recommend this dentist to everyone!!”

Kayli C.

“In Good Hands"”

“I am a new patient so only a very few experiences to date. That being said, the few I have had have all been great experiences. The staff, to a person, have been terrific. Dr. Austgen is very professional, thorough in her approach, and very good communicator. I have a comprehensive plan for my dental needs and feel confident I am in very good hands with this team. Based upon my experiences with other dentists vs my experiences with this team to date I would recommend them highly as a place to start a dental care journey.”

Michael B.

“AMAZING!”

"The entire staff and Dr are AMAZING! I’m an anxious dental patient, they gave me so much care and understanding to help me feel safe and secure! So many options for people like me, I took advantage of a weighted blanket, lavender oil and headphones to listen to my own soothing music!"
