5.0

I’m so grateful for this amazing team. I walked in at 3:30 PM without an appointment and in terrible pain, just before closing. The receptionist kindly checked to see if they could squeeze me in, and within minutes I was getting X-rays and a scan. Dr. Le quickly found the problem, a root infection, and instead of just giving me antibiotics and asking me to come back, she stayed late to treat me right away. She removed my crown, cleaned the infection, placed medication, and put on a temporary crown. Paul, the dental assistant, was also incredibly professional and caring throughout. They truly went above and beyond for me, and I’m especially thankful that they helped me get everything scheduled in time before my trip to Europe. I can’t thank them enough.

Dr. Ho and my hygienist Annie are awesome! They make you feel comfortable and are easy to talk to. They’re helpful and informative with any questions you have. They meet you where you are and are understanding of your circumstances. I hadn’t been in a couple of years, and they were glad I was able to make it and understood it could be tough to schedule and show up to an appointment. My plaque buildup seemed like a lot, but Annie did an amazing job. The other staff present were also friendly and helpful, so the environment there was great.

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
