Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of teeth to improve your smile. They're often used instead of crowns to minimize grinding on the teeth. The downside of veneers is that since they don't wrap around the tooth, they may be more prone to popping off of the tooth than a crown and need to be re-cemented.
A damaged tooth is vulnerable to a variety of issues including pain and infection, which is why seeking treatment as soon as possible is crucial to preserving your oral health. At Gentle Family Dentistry, Dr. Garger offers dental crowns as a versatile way to repair your teeth and restore your smile.

As a poster child for poor choices in dental care in my youth, at present I'm on a slow journey of reconstructive dentistry leading to prosthetics. I have been able to shed my shame and deep regret about the extent of damage I've created for myself as a result of the kind and optimistic encouragement Dr. G and his Staff have poured out to me. The office is immaculate, and it's readily apparent that hygiene and sanitation protocols are followed.
Every one of the Staff who have participated in my journey thus far have been positive, competent and thorough. Dr. G's sense of humor (always appropriately timed of course) keeps me groaning.but not out of discomfort.

I've been a patient of Dr Garger for over 15 years. I've never once had a bad experience, the office ladies are awesome, they are very kind and helpful. The hygienist are all friendly and happy to get you clean and in and out while doing an excellent job. Dr. Garger is always gentle and always makes sure you're comfortable before starting. I had a root canal when I was 10 from him and he's the reason I love going to the dentist! what seemed to be a scary experience so young was easy and wasn't as scary as made out to be! I always recommend him to other people when they ask about a new dentist.

I have personally always been TERRIFIED of the dentist because of sensitive gums and a family history of dental problems. My previous Dr's were rough and some even mean about it, but entering this office was so comforting I had no anxiety of "what will they find" or "how bad is this going to hurt?" although I have to get a crown in my 20s (ugh!) I am confident I will be in good hands

Got full mouth x-rays and cleaning and they were able to squeeze me in to get 2 fillings done that I have been rescheduling. Super friendly especially Dr. Garger. Had nasty cough and had to stop several times And they were so patient-been going to them for past 4 years and so glad I made the change. Ps Debby is phenomenal in getting you tge appointment that works best for you and when you are place on cancellation list for particular day/you are on that list and Debby goes over and beyond in getting you in-

Going to the dentist really gets my anxiety going. I've never been good with going. Gentle Family Dentistry makes it a point from the second you walk in the door, that your as comfortable and relaxed as you can be. I really appreciate the caring and professional atmosphere. I highly recommend this dentist.
