Best experience at a Dental office I have had in awhile. I was in so much pain for almost 2 weeks and Dr. Bunnel assured me that everything was going to be fine and also had some references for other dentists in case I needed other specialized procedures done, such as a root canal. I really like how Dr. Bunnel was detailed and specific on what I was having done and showing me with my x rays.The young ladies there were wonderful and helpful the moment I walked in. Great environment and vibe. Will definitely return if I need something done that my primary dentist can not do.

As always the staff and surgeon were top notch! The doctor made my daughter's experience less scary and was so fantastic in getting her wisdom teeth out and making sure she had everything she needed for recovery. The staff is always so sweet and caring!

I’ve never had any surgery or anesthesia before and this was better than I could’ve imagined. I was so comfortable and he made me feel relaxed, he was realistic about the facts and what to expect while being funny and upbeat, it was so fast and I have the best recovery! It’s day two with minimal swelling and no pain after 3 wisdom teeth extractions. 10/10 recommend to anyone needing dental work!

I have gone there for two tooth extractions there one In 2024 and one recently. The staff is all friendly and welcoming. They make sure that you feel comfortable in any situation. Definitely recommend them. Hopefully never need another extraction but if I do, I willll definitely go back

They were quick they were professionals and the doctors staff are the nicest I’ve ever met the head band btw was amazing and I hope the young lady gets that 5 dollars towards her pizza lol! This is the place to go for teeth removal fast, efficient and with a friendly welcoming staff.
