I was extremely nervous going into my appointment, but the entire team made me feel so comfortable and at ease from the moment I walked in. Everyone was kind, patient, and truly caring. I felt genuinely welcomed and well taken care of throughout the entire visit. The level of professionalism and compassion was outstanding. I absolutely loved the way I was treated and highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a dentist who truly cares about their patients!

Being one of many who are terrified of, anxious about, visiting the dentist. This was by far the best dental experience I have ever had. Amazing staff, that made me feel equally welcome & comfortable about what I need to do to improve my oral hygiene.
I highly recommend First City Dental.

Honestly, this is the one of the best dental experiences I’ve had. Dr. Lainey and Deja made me feel completely at ease during both cavity restorations and a crown — calm, kind, and clearly great at what they do. The front desk team deserves extra credit too: super friendly, organized, and actually on top of insurance (a huge change from years ago when I’d get bills forever later). Also price transparency beforehand ..... much appreciated.
Amy did my deep cleaning and follow‑up with so much care and attention to detail that my teeth feel brand new. All around, this place just gets it right — skilled people, good energy, and zero stress. Totally recommend!

I saw Dr Karic to have a crown replaced and couldn't be happier. Dr. Karic is a very personable as well as a highly skilled dentist. Their practice uses much of the latest technologies and equipment available. His assistant (Kelly) is excellent and has years of experience. Stacey (up front) is knowledgeable and can handle all your admin needs. Great dentist and staff!

My son had his first dental appointment at First City Dental and had a wonderful experience. The front office was quick to get the insurance verified and super friendly! The hygienist Amy did such a thorough cleaning and made him feel comfortable. Dr. Davis had great bedside manner and was so informative! We will definitely be coming back to this office and would recommend them to our friends and family!
