I recently moved to the area and unfortunately had a rare dental complication. I contacted the nearest dental office and they got me in promptly. Doctor Tina and Hygienist Jenny were very professional and caring for my unique situation. They treated me as if they already knew me, and made me a priority in their busy schedule. I will now be transferring offices to Pearl Care Dental.

I chomped on something harder than God's rod in a cheeseburger and it broke a molar in half, I couldn't even close my mouth all the way. Two other places didn't answer the phone but Pearl went out of their way to squeeze me in and fix me up within 2 hours of my initial phone call.

Pearl Care was a great experience. Everybody was caring and very communicative. I knocked out a filling and they were able to get me in next day, and got it all fixed with no discomfort at all. The dental staff and dentists were outstanding.

OM, Dentistry has come a long way and advanced since my last visit to a Dentist. If anything, they are thorough and know me inside and out. What a great team of professionals. I feel extremely fortunate to have Dr. Bender as my new Dentist. She is as sharp as they come and with personality, plus! What a boon. Jenny assisted in my first exam, who was superb and the ladies at the front desk were awesome. Go Team! Thank you, all. I am feeling grateful to be in such good hands. They have their work cut out for them.

All of the staff at Pearl Care Dental are fantastic! From the front desk, to the hygienists, to the doctors, I always feel like I'm being well cared for and I'm important. I never feel pressured into buying anything or having extra services done. They are informative and helpful. If I wasn't moving away I would be with them forever.
