It's a very busy office, but it's easy to see why. Dr. Allan has great bedside manner and is a skilled dentist. Add to that the helpful and friendly staff, and it's not surprising that people like myself drive across town to see him

Dr. Neil Allan is probably one of the kindest humans on the planet. And you want that in a dentist, completely. I have been with this group (and his father before him) for over 20 years and the skills, expertise, and professionalism are unsurpassed. I can't imagine going anywhere else for me and my family's dental work. I actually look forward to going to my appointments.and that is not normal for any dentist. You cannot go wrong with Dr. Allan.

My visit to Centennial was for a cleaning. Renee does the best job and is very thorough and careful. She also gives me tips and explains best techniques for dental hygiene. Everyone at Centennial is super nice and friendly. I have been a patient of Centennial for decades and highly recommend them.

Let me start by saying that Dr. Allan and all his staff are kind, friendly and conscientious. It's obvious they want to be there and do a good job and that is something to be said this day and age. Dr. Allan is very knowledgeable and presented his plan for my work going forward very clearly and I liked the way he used my x-rays to illustrate exactly what he was explaining. It felt like we came to a mutual decision as a conversation instead of being a one sided "lecture" tone. Secondly, I want to make note that I have severe anxiety with anything dental related and Dr. Allan and his entire team worked hard to keep me calm and as relaxed as possible. I remain very impressed. Best dental experience ever and I wish I could give them 100 stars!
