Why Are Regular Dental Checkups Important?
Great dental health requires two components: excellent at-home oral hygiene and regular dental checkups. Dental checkups provide you with preventative care for your teeth and mouth that’s impossible for you to do on your own. These checkups can spot early signs of issues with your oral health like cavities, decay, gum disease, and more. Our friendly and knowledgeable dentists will explain every step of the process to you, so you know exactly what’s going on during your appointment. Our dental offices are relaxed and judgment-free, so no matter what your dental history is like, you’ll find a home with us! We welcome patients of all ages because we pride ourselves on being a family dental practice!

Real Clients, Real Stories
This was my first cleaning in 3-4 years… and it was honestly way less stressful then I had hyped it up to be in my head. After calling around to different dental offices, Gentle Dental was one of the only options I found to accept my insurance so I called and made an appointment. I arrived and waited only 5 minutes to be called in. Christine did my cleaning and was so thorough and calming, she explained everything as she went and periodically checked in to make sure I was doing okay. After X-rays, an in depth evaluation, cleaning, and check in with Dr Sun, I was in and out in just a little over an hour. Quick and painless. Highly recommend Gentle Dental!
