No one likes to go to the dentist office but we all must do it if we care about our over-all health as our mouth affects so much of our health and therefore must be taken care of regularly. This practice is the most caring and kind Dentistry Office you will ever find. The entire staff is friendly and considerate and most importantly Dr. Kate is very concerned about your welfare and comfort. I just can't tell you how wonderful all of them are ; just please go and find out for yourself. You will be so glad that you did as I am.

The chairs are comfortable, they offered me a blanket once I sat down (which is awesome) since I have a non-sleeping 4 month old at home! :) I was in and out under an hour pain free! Thank you. Can't wait till my next visit to the dentist.

Dr. Kate and her team are amazing! I’m a 38 yr old man and have a SEVERE gag reflex (even the thought of gagging can make me gag) so going to the dentist is an absolute nightmare. In fact I do not go to the dentist unless it’s absolutely necessary. However learning about sedation dentistry has turned things around for me! It bears repeating, I have a SEVERE gag reflex. If you have a bad gag reflex, I can assure you that mine is worse.
I chipped a molar and was using an over-the-counter goop to deal with it but it got to the point where it was painful and affecting my ability to chew. Time to call the dentist. I had an initial consultation/checkup and yes I gagged…multiple times. Though I was extremely embarrassed, Dr. Kate and her team were very professional and patient and I got through it. The prognosis was that I had 12 cavities that needed fixed (yes 12). Dread immediately set in. How in the world am I going to get 12 fillings when I can’t even tolerate the inspection mirror in my mouth!? After contemplating life with no teeth, I began to research into this sedation dentistry thing. Maybe I was worrying for nothing.
I read things like “…technically you are still awake…” which didn’t really do anything to ease my anxiety. If I’m still awake then what’s the point? I watched YouTube videos, read testimonials, etc… Knowledge is a powerful thing so while I felt a little bit better about the situation, I couldn’t get over the fact that “…technically you are still awake…”. I’m just going to have to take a leap of faith I guess. Well, I’m here to tell you that, even though “technically” you are awake and can respond, you will have NO RECOLLECTION of the procedure or the passage of time and therefore should consider yourself to be “ASLEEP”.
I just got my 12 new fillings (and a cleaning) and all I remember is taking the initial “booster” pill at home, arriving at the dentist’s office, getting the IV put in and then getting in the car to head back home. I’ve NO IDEA what happened in the 2-3 hours between taking the pill and going home. I can only assume that I was ridiculously charming and that all of the staff swooned over me.
So be encouraged if you have a dental phobia (gagging or whatever). Sedation dentistry is a God send! Dr. Kate and her team are amazing and I highly recommend stopping in to see them! Additionally the cost is very reasonable and there are financing options available.

My Thanksgiving has been saved thanks to Dr. Steve and the amazing staff at hand! My crown had broke and they were able to fit me in for an emergency replacement right before turkey day, for which I am truly grateful!

ANOTHER great visit with Jennifer the hygienist! I just love how my whole family it treated at Dr. Kate's office. They take such good care of all of us!
