I’ve been coming here for the past two years. To be honest, I hadn’t seen a dentist in years and felt a bit embarrassed at first, but the team made me feel completely comfortable. They helped me address both my dental needs and even some of my “wants.”
Everyone has been patient, professional, and has a great sense of humor, which I really appreciate as the dentist can me scary even as an adult. -I’ve seen some mixed feedback about the front staff, but I personally have never had any issues.
I’m giving 4stars only because the pricing runs a bit higher. That said, I’m willing to pay for the quality of care they provide.

I have had a great experience each time I’ve been from walking in to walking out. I’ve had Bre and Sydney as the assistants and both do such a great job. Dr. Stender was great as well. The whole team explains everything thoroughly. They tell you what to expect before doing something. They explain the process, why it’s needed, and the pathophysiology behind all of it. Makes me feel informed about what’s going on in my mouth. Love this whole team!

I absolutely love this dental practice. The entire staff is consistently friendly, genuinely nice, and very helpful. I especially appreciate how the hygienists clearly explain each step of the cleaning process as they go. Highly recommend location.

Best Dentist experience I have EVER had! Nicest people ever, the whole staff! My Hygienist Ashley was awesome, she did an amazing job and caused me zero discomfort the whole time. Dr. Stender was super nice and easy going. They really make the whole experience the best it can possibly be.

The doctor and staff does more than cleaning and checking my teeth, They are patient and take the time to answer my questions.
After their professional & compassionate care, I walk away with something no amount of money can buy, gratitude and the knowledge I'm receiving the best care available.
