The vast majority of people in today’s society do not like the idea of spending hard earned money frivolously. Even if you have “money to burn,” you may prefer to keep that in your pocket rather than handing it over to someone else.

We understand this way of thinking. In fact, we promote it! We have lived through the era in which gas stations were called “service stations.” This meant that, when you rolled up to the gas pump, you were met by a friendly face who not only filled your tank, but also clean your windows and check your tires and oil. We liked this level of service and think that, even though technology has expedited many of our normal routines, service should still remain a priority.

Pleasant Dental® is an office that has been designed to provide each patient with the greatest value. We work with a number of different insurances, and have the experience to maximize your benefits. Our friendly staff is happy to help patients with claims and answer any questions about covered services so that you may plan your care around your budget as well as your dental needs.

Though we understand that our patients have busy schedules and we move through appointments with precision, we also do not believe in rushing care. We devote time to listen to your dental concerns, to evaluate your needs, and to provide the highest level of care possible.
