Best dentist office I've been to in a while! I'll start with the front desk—Becca is absolutely incredible. She's not only incredibly personable and easy to talk to, but she's also amazingly proficient at her job, with an astounding memory and a gift for breaking down billing so I actually understand what I'm paying for. She even managed to get me a discount on my dental work, which I really appreciated :) What truly stood out, though, was how she went above and beyond for my child. While I was being seen, she made sure my little one was completely comfortable and entertained—offering snacks, coloring pages, and toys to play with. She even sent us home with brand-new goodies. It's that kind of thoughtfulness that makes me feel like I'm treated like family every time I walk in. My dentist, Dr. Marks, is incredibly thorough. The hygienist is top-notch, and every assistant I've encountered is highly competent and skilled. Every single person I've encountered here is both skilled and kind, and Becca is the warm, welcoming heartbeat of it all.

I was honestly torn up when I found out Dr. Marks was leaving the office where I normally saw her! Fortunately for me, I was able to follow her to her new location because I wasn’t ready to let my favorite dentist go. 😂 Dr. Marks is truly the sweetest! She is gentle, knowledgeable, patient, and always makes me feel comfortable. She takes the time to explain everything, listens to my concerns, and I always feel like I’m in good hands with her. And of course, the fact that she went to school in Nashville is just another reason I’m keeping her! 😂💙 I cannot recommend Dr. Marks highly enough! If you’re looking for a dentist who is compassionate, skilled, gentle, and genuinely cares about her patients, look no further. She is absolutely worth following, and I’m so happy I found her new office. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to my family, friends, or anyone looking for an excellent dentist!

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.
