How do patients describe our office?

Just had two appointments over the last few weeks and could not be happier with the experience. I'd had some lingering tooth pain that had gone undiagnosed/unresolved at previous offices, but Dr. Anita finally realized I had several cavities that needed to be filled. I was naturally nervous to go back for my first ever fillings, but between Stevie, Elizabeth, and Dr. Anita (and some help from the gas they offer to anxious patients) it went more quickly and smoothly than expected! They were even able to do all three without any freezing.

Our Services

I've been to numerous dental offices in the past 15 years and this is the first office that feels simply comfortable! I admire Dr Samirae for her listening to my concerns and accommodating my requests. I have extremely sensitive teeth and ran to many problems prior to knowing Dr Samirae.

For New Patients

Your first visit is all about you — your comfort, happiness, and health. During our time together, we’ll…

  • - Conduct a gentle oral cancer screening
  • - Examine your teeth and gums for cavities and signs of tooth decay or gingivitis
