Dr. Van Aelst and his staff were excellent in caring for my tooth extraction and implant. They answered my questions and concerns very thoroughly and in a manner that was understandable. I would certainly go back to them if I needed any more oral work done.

First time patient here. Super clean office! I was warmly welcomed by Nancy when I walked in. They used my X-rays from a dentist visit from 5 months ago so that saved me some money. I don't remember the lady's name that took my dental history but so was super cool. I was recommended to get scaling and root planing done on all 4 quadrants. I got it done the same day. I haven't met Dr. Van Aelst yet, which is okay because my gums feels some much better now. I look forward to seeing him on December for a follow up. Thank you!
P.S. Unlike other dental offices I've been to, they didn't ask me to leave them a positive Google review which is nice and professional.

Dr. Van Aelst preformed a root removal day of and worked quickly with my dentist and me to get me in on such short notice. He and his staff provided me with excellent service and are very accommodating. They helped calm my nerves and were very helpful with providing post op care instructions. They are very responsive over the phone and were able to provide me with comfort when my stitches started to come out earlier than I expected (B.T.W. google is wrong only took 3-4 days). I would recommend anyone to go to their office.

I went to Dr. Brian T. Van Aelst due to gum recession. From the first phone call to his office to set an appointment I felt so welcomed. I was provided with details about what to expect from the staff as well as Dr. Van Aelst. The lines of communication were excellent, and when it was time for the procedure I was relaxed. The procedures went very well, as they had anticipated. My recovery time was short, and I felt well taken care of. There were several follow-up appointments and I always looked forward to interacting with the staff. I will recommend Dr. Van Aelst for periodontal work and I will definitely return if I ever need to.

Dr. van Aelst and Berta did a spectacular job comforting our 10 year old daughter for a much needed gum graft. The procedure was of course a success, however, their bed side manners were above and beyond our expectations for every visit. They explained the entire process and what to expect for each stage of the healing process in great detail, as well as, answering all of our questions. Most importantly our 10 year old daughter was extremely comfortable throughout the entire process for each and every visit. Not to mention, the front office staff which provides a relaxing and calm atmosphere, thus setting the tone for each visit.
Ultimately, Dr. van Aelst and his staff are first class all the way and we recommend his services without any hesitations!
