Best service I’ve ever had in all of my business affairs. These folks are very detailed in their craft, and customer focus. If you have a business and employ people. It’s worth just coming in for a cleaning to learn what real customer service is a about. Total satisfaction from start to finish. These folks are on the ball.

I have lots of problems with my teeth since I was young. With all the cavities and then a jaw injury that made it so only 6% of my teeth connected for chewing I was in pain for years. Five years ago I finally had dental insurance, a co-worker referred Dr. Panneton and told me about the work he did. I went in and he said he could fix my teeth that were breaking apart and outlined a plan to restore my bite and correct the jaw muscles so I could enjoy eating, singing, and laughing again. He takes pride in his work and goes the extra mile to make sure it’s the best!

My visit was amazing! Haven’t been to the dentist in years, and I needed an urgent visit due to pain. They worked me right in and addressed the issue, and explained everything fully. It’s obvious that they care about their patients rather than nickel-and-diming people until they’re broke. I’ll definitely be sticking around with this practice, and I recommend it to anyone seeking an awesome dentist with a wonderful staff!
