Kim is hands down the best dental hygienist I've ever had! She is incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, and genuinely cares about her patients. She takes the time to explain everything, answers every question, and makes each visit comfortable and stress-free. Her attention to detail and commitment to providing exceptional care are unmatched. It's clear that she takes great pride in helping her patients achieve their healthiest smiles. If you're looking for a hygienist who is skilled, compassionate, and truly goes above and beyond, I can't recommend Kim highly enough. She's simply amazing!

I was an hour late for my first appointment, but the office staff and my assistant Taylor welcomed me and made me very comfortable. Taylor took the time to assist me with the intake process and allowed me ample time without making me feel rushed. She was friendly, patient and professional. My visit with Lindsay was just as remarkable. He had a great "chair-side" manner, was affable and gave a detailed explanation of what to expect while incorporating my goal into the plan.
Overall my experience was super and I would definitely recommend others to the clinic.

It was my initial appointment/consultation. The entire visit was very thorough. Before seeing the doctor I spent a large amount of time with his assistant Chris, who is extremely knowledgeable. Chris took all my X-rays and lots of photos for the doctor’s review. Dr. Craighead is very professional and takes the time to discuss procedures and concerns. Before leaving the exam room Chris was able to give further insight into what to expect the day of surgery and very importantly post op. I left feeling very confident and will be moving forward with their treatment plan.

I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Justin Craighead and the entire team. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with professionalism and a warm, calming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The office was spotless, well-organized, and clearly designed with patient comfort in mind.
Dr. Justin Craighead took the time to thoroughly explain my periodontal treatment, answer all of my questions, and make sure I felt confident every step of the way. His expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process, and he consistently checked in to ensure I was comfortable.
What truly stood out was the level of care and commitment to excellence. The results exceeded my expectations—not only does everything feel healthier, but I can tell the work was done with precision and long-term success in mind. It’s clear Dr. Justin Craighead takes great pride in delivering top-quality care.
I highly recommend Dr. Justin Craighead to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring periodontist. This is a practice you can feel confident in—I won’t be going anywhere else.
