Lower Implant Arch

My husband had 8 teeth pulled in preparation for a bottom implant plate. Everything went just like we were told. He was in very little pain. Yes, we would recommend Heritage Family Dentistry.

Smile Whitening

Taylor did an excellent job with the zoom whitening. She took extra time with education prior to the treatment and after the treatment as well. She was very knowledgeable and I felt completely safe and at ease. She took time to make sure I was comfortable at all times.
