Their lobby is fun and welcoming and the rooms are comfy and inviting. When my dentist fell short on hygienists I switched to BDS and had my first appointment today. They did comprehensive imaging, which revealed the start of a cavity and some staining. Dr Logan advised me the staining is normal but the cavity we should take care of soon. I appreciated the advice and friendly tone throughout and look forward to future visits. Highly recommend!”— Google Review,"Very great experience. The office was nice, clean and bright.
