Called to schedule an appointment as I thought I had an abscess. Office was able to get me in the same day, which I was... thankful for as I had yet to find a new dentist. Check in was quick. Front office staff was very professional & friendly. Panoramic & bitewing x-rays were taken. Also inserted a tiny camera in my mouth & took pictures of all of my teeth. Dr. Birch confirmed that I had an abscessed tooth & explained to me my treatment options. I was given a print out of my treatment plan & costs. Gave me a prescription for antibiotics & scheduled me for my tooth extraction next week. Great experience overall!read more

I cannot say enough about this office. Dr. Birch is amazing, the whole office is caring, friendly and very... professional. I got my upper partials today and when I looked in the mirror, I’m not gonna lie, I had a couple of tears in there. Everything matches well with them, you can barely tell that I have partials in. I am a person who loves to smile and Dr. Birch and his staff gave me my smile back! When I say they went above and beyond for me, I truly mean they went above and beyond! I would recommend this office to anyone and everyone! Thank you Dr. Birch and his amazing staff! I will be back for my bottom partials for sure!read more
