WHAT PATIENTS SAY ABOUT US
Previously we saw another dentist in town and had to go to separate places for cleanings and fillings. Dr. Banks does everything in house. On top of that, one of my daughters had a terrible experience when she had to get a filling somewhere else. She was scared of the dentist after that. Dr. Banks was able to make her feel comfortable and even extracted a tooth without any drama or fear of the next visit. He is a fantastic dentist. I’m so very glad we found him!

“Dr. Banks is just fantastic. He is amazing at making the kids feel comfortable. When my son and daughter were nervous during their first few dental visits ever, he had no problem calming their nerves, and he even made a game of checking their teeth, and they were laughing in the end. A big win in my book. He was also great at interacting with parents and provided excellent explanations for procedures and patiently answered all my questions.”

The staff is awesome! The receptionist spent a lot of time on the phone with me so she could work around our schedule and also called to make sure our insurance was all set. Dr.Banks is awesome as well, he never pushes for anything that isn’t necessary which is a huge plus for me at the dentist. My kids love the office, doctor and staff! Thanks for being amazing!
