The best dentist office I've ever been to. They were recommended to me when I was new to town and had a crown fall off. They were able to get me in quickly and get fitted with a crown within a matter of days. The hours are very accommodating to anyone with a busy work schedule. They always put me at ease. There's nice music, low lighting, and very sweet hygienists who work here. Thanks for keeping me smiling!

I'm terrified of the dentist, even as a grown woman. This center is IT for dental care, staff were friendly and understanding, they offer a super competitive plan for people without dental insurance, and the Doc was no-nonsense and really helped me feel at ease. I had a front crown replaced and it was an enjoyable experience as it could be.

Dr. Paulson is incredibly meticulous and skillful and I couldn't be happier with the results of his work. I would highly recommend him and his wonderful office staff to anyone needing dental work. He's a consummate professional and it shows in every aspect of his practice.

Dr. Paulson is by far the best dentist I've been to. I've never felt so at ease at a dentist office. All the staff are really warm and friendly and work hard to make sure you're receiving quality care. They took the time to educate me about my oral health and made treatment and financial options understandable so that I could choose what worked best for me.

I was impressed with their use of technology and with how comfortable my cleaning was. Maria is definitely the most gentle hygienist I've ever been too. Overall they really seem to care and it shows. Would highly recommend!

Outstanding staff! I don't love going to the dentist but this crew made it as pleasant as possible when having a tooth worked on. Plus, NOT having to have a temporary crown and come back weeks later to get numb again for the final crown was awesome.

Dr Paulson is one of the most caring dentists I have ever been to. He does not force work on you - he explains everything and let's you make the decision. He is compassionate about people and his practice. That also shows with his office staff and hygienists - they treat you like family and Dr. Paulson treats them like family. You will not be disappointed with their service and professionalism.

VERY impressed! Maria and Stephanie and the whole staff were great and made sure I was comfortable. They walked me through what they saw in the xrays and helped me understand the treatments I would need. I would highly recommend them to other people and their families for their dental care. Great experience!

All the staff was absolutely wonderful! Dr. Paulson was extremely understanding of my anxiety and they did everything possible to make me comfortable, including giving me a stuffed animal for comfort. I've never been to a dentist and actually returned but I'm on my 3rd visit. They're wonderful.
