I’ve come here for my own care and now for my son’s, and I’m truly grateful for the experiences we’ve had. When I needed my wisdom teeth extracted, I had three removed. I was honestly very nervous. Who isn’t?! But Dr. Kumar and his team handled everything with such professionalism and care that I didn’t feel any pain during the procedure, and my healing went exactly as they explained. Dr. Kumar also followed up with me afterward, which I really appreciated. He was kind, attentive, and clearly very knowledgeable. More recently, I brought my son in for a checkup and cleaning. He’s had some difficult dental experiences in the past, so I was a bit worried, but this visit was completely different. Our hygienist, Monica, was incredibly kind and patient. She took the time to explain everything to him in a way that helped ease his anxiety, and it made such a difference. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, respectful, and seemed to truly enjoy what they do. It created such a welcoming environment for both of us. We had a wonderful experience overall and I highly recommend this office. I’m so thankful we found such a great place so close to home. If we ever move, I will definitely be traveling back to this place for our dental needs! :)

This was my first appointment and it was absolutely excellent. 10/10 recommend. Made me feel welcomed, comforter, listened to and did the work that was needed. Doc was straight to the point and kept me very informed on everything I needed. My hygienist was Abby, and she was wonderful at her work and do what was needed. Teeth feel cleaned and now I know my next steps clearly! Reccomemd this place if you're looking for a trustworthy dentist team to listen to you, care about you, and do what needs to be done!

I had an excellent experience at Dental Excellence. Mikel, the dental hygienist, complimented my dental hygiene and also took the time to recommend a great toothpaste as a safer and effective alternative to bleaching my teeth, which I really appreciated. Dr. Do was thorough, professional, and made the visit comfortable. I also want to recognize Tiffany and Jamie, who were outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. The entire Dental Excellence team was professional, efficient, and attentive throughout my visit. They even went above and beyond by assisting me with impressions for aligners I’m purchasing through an outside vendor. Overall, Dental Excellence provided exceptional care and customer service. I would confidently recommend Dental Excellence to everyone I know. Nataya M.

I really enjoy my time at Dental Excellence. Dr.Finney connected with me and explained the process for my treatment in a way that no other doctor of any sort has done. She wasn’t just in and out of the room seeing another patient, but she was attentive and explained my options to help me make the best informed decision. All the staff worked very well together communicating my treatment plans, I’m very pleased.

I have always had exceptional care from Dental Excellance. My hygienist, Monica, does a wonderful job cleaning my teeth and explaining what she is doing. Dr Sharky has always been very thorough with my dental care, whether it is checking after cleaning or filling a cavity. I also like the way he will answer questions about my dental concerns of myself or others I’m concerned about. Thank you to both of them!

I met my team at Dental Excellence yesterday. As a senior whose last experience with a dentist left me with awful partials that were painful to wear and brokenhearted,. Let me say that my experience at Dental Excellence, started way ahead of the game. From the moment I was greeted, to meeting Dr. Wiley and his team, it was obvious that not only care for my teeth were a priority, but giving me assurance that they were not going to just throw new teeth in my mouth without their best effort to make them amazing. They took steps to make sure I knew exactly where I was in my new journey, but also, what vital steps needed to be taken, to give me my best smile. They were gentle and kind. Two things I have learned are more important than the education any Dental or Medical receives. With all that said, I am very much in anticipation of the new smile they are going to craft for me with their latest technology. Yes, my post is long, but I cant impress upon you more to call them, if you need dental care no matter the age. They don't have to sell themselves, all of the 5 star patients are happy to do it for them. I dont see how you can go wrong. Special shout out to Jillian, Heather and Dr. Sharkey for their part in my care. Peace and love to all.

My first appointment in this practice and I was so impressed with the flow of the office. My hygienist was amazing at explaining everything she was doing. X-rays were painless and my cleaning was outstanding. Cannot wait to have my future dental care needs taken care of by this office. Dr. Sharky explained my upcoming treatment and best options for my dental care. Highly recommend Dental Excellence.
