I just had some major work done this morning, I had 9 surgical extractions and had top dentures put in! The last place I was at gave me ptsd, I was horrified to have to do this today.......BUT let me tell you what, this place is the best!!! From start to finish the best!!!! Starting with the consultation everyone was sooo caring and explained everything to a T. Then came time for the procedure, Dr. Fielding and his assistant were on point and took care of me like I was their own. Stopped when I needed a minute and went through post care. Hands down the best dentistry around.

Southtowns Dental is extraordinary. I got an implant for my front tooth (it’s been 2 years and it is still perfect). They care — from the smallest issue to full repair. 10/10!

Can’t express enough how great this place is. My daughter fell and cracked her tooth in half and they were able to get her in immediately for an emergency appointment. They did amazing work she is autistic and they were able to navigate that in a very delicate way and made her feel comfortable.

I just had major dental work and I felt NOTHING and absolutely no after effects from pain or swelling!! I cannot tell you how happy I am that I came across this Dr! Top of the line, knowledgeable and friendly!! Don’t wait like I did! Call now!

From the receptionist, to the hygienist, to the dentist, they all did an amazing job helping me with my teeth pain that I had sustained at work when I accidentally pulled a little too hard lifting something heavy at work which then I clenched my teeth too hard and mouth and teeth were sore for a little bit. But everybody was great took care of me the same day can't say enough about how practice and the people were amazing switching from where I used to go to here now!! Thank you!!
