Did you know there’s a science to smiling?

Smiling triggers a cascade of chemical reactions in the brain, releasing dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin (the feel-good drugs that are natural pain relievers and mood lifters.) Go ahead, give it a try right now! And smiling is contagious, seeing someone smile activates the mirror neurons in our brains prompting us to mirror the expression Smiling influences perceptions of others and is associated with attributes like attractiveness, reliability, and relaxation, enhancing social connections It’s your superpower when you use it!

what our patients think

The staff was so amazing and friendly!! Very comforting to someone who is terrified of the dentist, I don’t have a single bad thing to say about anyone! Some dental/doctor offices have rude receptionists but amazing dental assistants and dentists, which makes it really hard to go to your appointments, but this place has both amazing receptionists and dental staff!! I can’t thank them enough for being so kind!

The best experience at a dentist ever! My two little toddlers were asking to go back to the dentist as soon as we left! Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff.
