I've been looking for a place to get a cleaning done for weeks ever since the new year and I was pleasantly surprised when they had an appointment in January for me! Jackie did a phenomenal job with my deep clean. She made sure that I was comfortable and gentle. I'm looking forward to my follow-up. Now don't be alarmed when a virtual dentist comes on the TV they are there to approve the work and then you will have an official appointment with and they will guide you to what you need.
