At these visits, your hygienist uses specialized tools to clear away tough plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach. This deep clean helps keep your teeth smooth and breath fresh while also lowering

My first time, my wife recommended it to me very highly, now I see why. Very friendly, courteous, and professional team all around. Dr. Williams, is caring, and genuine. Listens to you and explains to you in as much detail as you want. The office is very clean, high-tech, and the environment is very comfortable, and relaxing

Dr Williams and his staff are friendly and caring. I originally went to his office for a 2nd opinion. I felt like he listened and gave me (& I hear him doing the same for others) the necessary information/options. He doesn’t try to sell you on procedures you don’t need. Another dentist had told me that I needed a crown. Dr Williams said he thought an onlay seemed like a better option. I went with the less invasive option. It was the right choice for me. I have since switched my whole family over to Dr Williams.

Family friendly environment, warm feelings, great conversations with the staff, and an enjoyable experience every time. I look forward to the care every six months, or sooner. Ask for Rachele, my hygienist, as she always performs a complete, thorough, detail-oriented hygiene appointment! I would never go anywhere else. Highly recommended.

John Prickett

Dr. Williams, the front staff, and Chelsea the DA, are awesome. Nice facility, I like how well they communicate with patients and keep you comfortable. It’s like a well oiled machine. Highly recommend this place! A+ quality!

Carol Johnson

I go to Dr Williams for routine care, and decided to have some cosmetic work done. I’m in my sixties and was experiencing extreme wear on my front teeth. I started with Invisalign to get a good ‘canvas’ to work with, and then asked for a natural look – not falsely white or looking like dentures. Dr Williams did veneers and am thrilled with the result . It shows he really listened to me, because they are exactly what I requested. I would highly recommend!

Sharon Morse

I just had my teeth cleaned along with a checkup. As always, the staff was friendly, there was no waiting for the appointment, cleaning was thorough and—good for me—no further work needed to be done.

Calvin Bishop
