Such a good experience with Piper dentistry today! I was really unsure how my 2 year old would do, but our hygienist Danielle was beyond amazing and sweet with her, and Dr Piper was great as well. My daughter has been playing with her new toothbrush all day and pretending to brush my teeth. I don't think it will be hard to convince her to come back in 6 months

Piper Dentistry is located on the second floor of their offices in Barkley Village. I was greeted warmly by the staff in the stylishly decorated office and introduced to my hygienist, Amy, I believe. She was very nice, but as soon as we got in the chair for X-rays, the machine started going on the fritz, so we ended up having to move machines and start over. Once these photos were done, I was then taken downstairs to their pediatric office for another kind of X-ray.
Then when the look at my wisdom teeth was over, I was moved yet again to a new chair for my cleaning. The staff was great and my teeth were cleaned well, but as someone who is already stressed at the dentist, having to hike across the office several times and keep re-locating gets a bit unnerving after a while. I do recommend this office as besides the moving, the dentist herself and all the hygienists were very knowledgeable and answered all my questions about my wisdom teeth to the best if their knowledge.

My son goes here and he has never had a bad experience. Very nice aesthetic inside. They play movies in the waiting room and there are two mini arcade cabinets.

Our family recently started going to Piper Dentistry after we moved here from Oak Harbor and I honestly cannot say enough good things. They are ON point in every single way. Every member of their staff is friendly and skilled, and they go far above and beyond to pamper you, think of it like a dental day spa. Dr. Emily is competent, thorough, and it's easy to tell how much she cares about her patients' comfort.
I had to have so many fillings and it was virtually painless because she is so meticulous and good at her work. I am so happy I found her! On another note, her husband and staff was perfect doing my kids' teeth. They were so comfortable being there that both boys actually asked me to just wait in the waiting room for them. I wish I could give this office ten stars. They are amazing!
