Was ask to pay an additional fee for my flipper to be fixed after multiple trips, because the dentist filed it down to much to begin with before my gums were healed and my bone was left jagged and cut through my gums, my personal opinion is I shouldn't have to pay for their mess up!

Just moved here and broke a tooth---Dr. Houle to the rescue! She is amazing. Very competent and even stayed late to help me out. The entire office staff was so kind, compassionate and eager to help me out. They are now my new Florida Dentist practice!

Dr Abbie is awesome. She straightened my teeth, so they meshed right, so hopefully they won't chip & break because they were misaligned before I came there. In less than 1 year the process is done. Hopefully I won't ever have to have dentures. Thank you Dr Abbie.
