It was my first visit as a new patient. Very impressed by the helpful and professional staff. Also impressed by the state of technology of the x-Ray machine and the taking of oral photos. Dr Thanga was very professional in explaining his findings and recommended treatment. He performed the cleaning well. Highly recommend. Plus, the layout and decor of the rooms creates a calm, comforting environment.

I can't say enough about Dr. Thanga! I went in with pain/two cavities and two chipped teeth and he worked his magic so swiftly and with precision and ease, the next thing I knew he was done! Not only is he so lovely and fun to be around, his staff is super awesome and highly skilled, as well. *** Very highly recommended!

The dental hygienist and Dr Thanga were very patient and gave excellent care. I am hesitant about getting another procedure but they explained why, how and presented pictures of the results. I appreciate their professionalism and kind care. I would highly recommend this dentist.
