I originally felt nervous like anybody else does going to the dentist but it was such a lovely experience. All of the staff made me feel calm and welcomed and put my anxiety to rest. Everything was also explained to me well and very thoroughly.

My appointment with Dr Mehta at first class smiles was outstanding. She is very thorough in her cleaning and explanations to all of my questions.

After a scary experience at a different office, I was so nervous for my root canal. First Class Smiles brought my smile back and, while I still have a little work to be done, I'm no longer anxious about dental work and feel safe in their chairs.

They are essentially a one-stop shop with garage parking, and they are located in a great spot.

Dr. Asante was responsive and honest when I wanted her to tell me It would be okay. I cave in with a dental emergency and she and her team took good care of me.
