TL;DR: After nearly 10 years of avoiding the dentist out of fear and shame, I finally went in, and had an amazing experience. From the receptionist to the dentist, everyone was kind and non-judgmental. But the true standout was Marie, the hygienist, who completely changed how I feel about dental visits. I hadn’t been to the dentist in almost a decade. Fear of pain and being judged kept me away, even as I noticed my gums bleeding and plaque building up. I finally made an appointment; and to my surprise, it turned out to be a genuinely great day. From the moment I walked in, the experience was comforting. The receptionist (a beautiful, warm woman whose name I wish I’d gotten) greeted me with exceptional customer service. The assistant who took me for X-rays was sweet and non-judgmental. The technology was impressive: 3D X-rays and intraoral photos with a tiny camera that made the process feel modern and efficient. Dr. Desar, the dentist, was direct but kind. She explained my situation clearly, measured my gums, and started me on a treatment plan, all while making sure I felt safe and never judged. She was great. But the true star of the visit was Marie, the hygienist. She is gentle, compassionate, sweet, and genuinely caring. Her touch was so light I didn’t even need anesthesia—and I nearly felt NOTHING. More importantly, she made me feel comfortable as a person, not just a patient. Marie changed my entire perspective on dental care. I left the office feeling grateful, relieved, and even excited to come back. Other nice touches: great music, a cozy blanket, and a clean, modern space. I never thought I’d say this, but I had a good day at the dentist. If you’re lucky enough to get Marie, you’ll understand why.

Best dental office I’ve been too. Staff is very polite and the office is extremely clean. Jocelyne and Roxanne are always super helpful when I visits. They are patient, gentle, and always have great recommendations for preventative care. Highly recommend.

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
