Dental hygienist Clemente is very patient and professional! I had a really great experience during my deep cleaning! Will highly recommend!!

Google Reviewer

Dr. Hedo filled my front bottom right tooth and I cried from happiness. I had this fracture for 10 months and I couldn’t stop rubbing my tongue against it all the time frantically. I am so so so relieved that it’s filled and it bought me some time before I have to do more intensive treatment with a veneer.

Absolutely phenomenal experience at the dentist yesterday! From the moment I walked in, I was treated with kindness and professionalism — but what truly made my visit unforgettable was the exceptional care provided by Heather, my Dental Assistant. Heather was beyond amazing — attentive, compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable, and made me feel completely at ease every second. She truly went above and beyond — I felt like I was in the hands of a true expert . And let me tell you about Clemente, my Hygienist — an absolute magician! I went in for a deep cleaning expecting discomfort, but Clemente performed the procedure with such skill and gentleness that I barely felt a thing. Even the anesthesia, which usually gives me anxiety, was administered so smoothly I didn’t notice it at all. My teeth have never felt this clean — it was like a spa day for my mouth. Five stars is not enough. If I could give them ten, I would! Thank you, Heather and Clemente — you’ve completely changed the way I feel about going to the dentist!

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
