What patients say about Western Dental & Orthodontics
Western Dental & Orthodontics holds a 4 star average across 509 public Google reviews, and the pattern inside those reviews is fairly consistent. Read through the reviews and the same things surface: friendly staff, gentle and painless care, and in many of them clear explanations. The procedures people mention by name include root canals, cleanings and deep cleanings and wisdom teeth removal, which is useful if that is what brought you here.
Reviews call out staff by name, and Yadira in particular collects the thanks. A recurring line is that the numbing worked and nothing hurt, including for self described dental cowards.
