If you think going to the dentist can't be enjoyable, you should give this place a try. It's like a…read morespa experience. Gentle music, calm atmosphere, massage chairs, a blanket if you want - all the things. Everyone is so kind and helpful, and the staff and doctors are so attentive. I've had regular cleanings as well as fillings and, most recently, a crown (same day!) at this location. I have zero complaints about any of these interactions. They develop a care plan with you before treatment, so there are no surprises when you're done. My 5-year old daughter also is seen here and she has developed an early enjoyment of going to the dentist, which I know is uncommon. They are so patient and gentle with her and she has no qualms about going for her cleanings. All-in-all, I would recommend this group to anyone seeking dental care.

On March 31, 2026 My experience was very unprofessional to say the least. I went in concerning a…read moretooth ache. Once being taken back and getting X-rays, the dentist came in telling me that my gums were inflamed due to me having braces ( I didn't have my wires on, only brackets at that time). After enduring unbearable pain, and making several phone calls expressing my concerns, requesting for appointments or some type of antibiotics for treatment which may have resulted in some relief of the pain, I was told that a deep cleaning SHOULD help with the pain. Finally on April 12,2026, weeks of discomfort and denial of assistance, I contacted an emergency dental clinic, was seen immediately and the diagnosis was I needed a root canal and antibiotics. The infection could have entered my bloodstream, possibly resulting in death. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION FOR ANY SERVICE!!!

I got my first teeth about 3 weeks ago and gotta say she did a phenomenal job! The hit perfectly abs I can eat food again!

Dr Barkley and her staff make me super comfortable with gas for anxiety abs they don't make me feel embarrassed for being afraid at my age ( the main reason I have lost so many teeth is avoidance of dentists ! ) Now that I've found a dentist I actually like and trust my fear is rapidly going away! She referred me to a endodonist last week for a root canal and I had never seen a specialist for that ( a dentist has done all previous root canals w horrible pain ) my fear was ramped you and it was incredulous easy ! Absolutely shocking that no pain swelling etc after ! I didn't even need Tylenol! . I'm glad I chose this dentist , bc she seems to understand dental anxiety as a real thing! Her prices are great too comparatively! Even though I go across town to see her I'd never change ! I cannot recommend her highly enough !

Why not, I even called that day to the CSM with BCBS who stated they'll pay 100% now Jules was trying to twist what I just said, she's like you said they told you they paid, I said no they said they will. That's your job to file, she replied it's mine. Look that's crazy, I don't have that ability to file for their service, I'll tell you what if she was working for me I'd already have her fired her actions are costing them customer.

The last one would laugh and humm like it was all a joke. It's a terrible experience to have someone like that working on your teeth for hours. They need better supervision.

I had a CEREC crown placed by Plagenhoef in 2022, and unfortunately, it popped off within months…read morewhile eating banana bread. I had been super careful not to eat on that side since it was uncomfortable to do so, and the day I didn't think about it a simple bread popped it off. I got it put in again by Millington in 2023 and made sure to continue not to eat on that side and barely flossing on that side for the fear of it popping off again, not even making it to a year of it being replaced I accidentally flossed the crown and it popped off AGAIN! When I originally got the crown, I was told it would last at least 5 years, Dr. Millington reassured me the second time it should last at least 5 years, but when I called the office about it falling off this second time, the staff suddenly claimed that CEREC crowns only last 2 years--which is not true. It popped off on a Thursday night and when I called Friday morning they wouldn't see me until the following week Tuesday, and after complaining they moved it to Monday. Frustrated, I went to a new dentist for a second opinion, and who saw me that same day and they found that there was no cement left inside the crown at all, meaning it likely was never properly bonded in the first place. The new dentist had to roughen the surface of the crown and use stronger cement to ensure a proper fit--something that should have been done correctly the first time. I trusted this office to provide a long-lasting, quality restoration, but instead, I've had to deal with unnecessary stress, repeat visits with needle numbing each time, and unexpected costs. If you're considering this dentist for a CEREC crown, I strongly recommend getting a second opinion or asking about their bonding techniques because I'm convinced at this point the cement might be from TEMU for it to last 2 years as the staff told me. It seems like they were doing this purposely to see me yearly and get money from a crown on a yearly basis. I personally will not be returning ever again.

From the initial entrance, to my teeth cleaning and even leaving at the end of my visit, every interaction was professional, warm and welcoming and they seemed genuinely appreciative of Mt families business. I brought my 2 littles in with me, for my cleaning and the hygienist, Becca, was so sweet and grabbed 2 chairs for them. The waiting area is bright, clean and was decorated for valentines day. They had a mini bar with soft drinks, a coffee station and cute homemade treats by the front desk. I'm so glad I chose this place for our new dentist. Their mission statement speaks of how they are a Christian dentist that spreads the love of Jesus Christ, and I am thrilled to be a new patient here.

I made the appointment and I still didn't know who dialed the number. I got there I was shaking, shaking I mean scared. Dr. Vance looked at me he said I can see how scared you are with just exrays. I made it through with Dr. Vance and his beautiful nurse. And so my journey began. I had not been to a dentist not even to take someone for an appointment. Y'all I was to scared to cry. Dr. Vance I had never met anyone like him. My appointment was in the afternoon and for him to still be as wonderful as he was still just wonderful. And I can't remember the beautiful caring nurse name. She helped me so much. Y'all I knew this was going to be a long process. If Dr. Vance could see my fear and make me feel at ease for just pics of my rotted out teeth. I remember I was trying to get food and chewing and teeth breaking as I'm eating. Sooo many years of people staring at mumble nasty comments. My family didn't treat me no different. But I tried to distance my self from the staring and this kid I was working at a grocery store and I would hear his song all I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth. I suffered silently and I hated me because I was a coward and I wanted to be brave. But God say peace be still. My day was coming and it had my savior Dr. Vance....more later on my journey to be beautiful not to the world. But myself first. And my family they say they weren't embarrassed but I knew they were.....more soon.
