Always a great experience at Yankee Springs Dental! Patients are welcomed, cared for in a gentle and compassionate way, and Dr. Veneman is excellent. I had a crown done with no discomfort during or after the visit. Liz is kind and efficient, always putting patient comfort first. Highly recommend this office!

This office is by far the best dentist office I have ever been too! The staff was impeccable and I highly recommend this office! I had to have a tooth extraction they made the process smooth, easy, and pain-free! I called on Friday and got an appointment on Monday morning. I am healed up and had no pain afterwards except the normal from extraction! They are amazing! 10/10 recommend!

I've never had a better experience with a dental office than I did today. The staff was extremely helpful and kind. Dr. Veneman was very kind and explained things very clearly and willing to help. I came for a second opinion on a recent diagnosis I got from a chain dental office saying I needed a bunch of teeth removed. Possibly not the case. I have always had uncomfortable experience with the dentist. Everyone there made me feel welcome and comfortable to be there. I'm glad I chose to make the appointment. Definitely planning on being a future permanent patient.

This was my first time using this new dentist at this practice and I was leery. But he was great. He had great table side manners and even followed up to check on me after the visit to see how I was doing. I will definitely be going back and referring friends and family. Thank you for a great experience.

Best experience I've had at the dentist in a long time! Very kind people, and were helpful in explaining procedures and options. I am normally weary about going to the dentist, but now I am looking forward to my next appointment with Dr. Veneman! Amazing practice!
