Really glad I chose them, this will be my new dentist. Very friendly and professional staff, they got me in right away, did a thorough exam and cleaning and there were no strings attached to the "first exam and cleaning for $49 deal" they have. The staff and good music made the dentist chair more than bearable!

This was my first visit to Dr Bender and it was the experience I have ever had to the dentist. From walking in and meeting Amanda to meeting Julie and Lisa. I have not met Dr Bender yet because I have to return again but I am sure he will be just as caring and wonderful as his staff. I would recommend Dr Bender to anyone looking for the most caring dental experience they have ever had.

Wonderful and friendly staff from the front desk to the hygienist and the dentist. Clean environment. No issues with scheduling, making it work with my schedule, text and email reminders. No long wait times, usually in and out during my lunch break for cleanings. Highly recommend!

Start the year off right and go to Bender Dental; I can't recommend them enough. They're friendly and kind, very professional and make you feel at ease. They also have a great facility and a great staff. Ask for Lisa, she's the best.
