What we do

Everything under one calm roof.

Most families can do everything here, which means fewer referrals, fewer forms and the same friendly faces every visit.

Nervous about the dentist?

You’re in very good company.

About a third of our patients tell us they’re anxious about the dentist. We plan for it: nothing happens until you understand it and you’re ready.

For the little ones

First visits that end in a thumbs-up.

We start with a ride in the chair and a look at the “tooth camera.” Short visits, plenty of praise, and parents are always welcome to stay.

Patient reviews

Words from the chair.

★★★★★

I hadn’t been to a dentist in eight years because of a bad experience. Dr. Okafor never once made me feel judged. I actually look forward to my cleanings now.

Andrea P. · patient since 2022
★★★★★

Both of my kids go here and neither of them cries anymore. Lena is magic. They gave my son a “brave” sticker and he wore it for a week.

Marcus D. · parent of two
★★★★★

Cracked a molar on a Saturday, called Monday morning, had a crown by 3 pm the same day. The price matched the estimate to the dollar.

Questions

Good to know.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Your insurance card if you have one, a list of any medications, and any recent x-rays if you’re switching dentists. You can fill in our forms online before you arrive.

Do you see children? From what age?

Yes, from their first tooth or first birthday, whichever comes first. Families often book back-to-back so everyone is done in one trip.

How much will my visit cost?

We check your benefits before your appointment and give you a written estimate of your share. Without insurance, a new patient visit is $129 and our Juniper Plan covers routine care for $29 a month.

What counts as a dental emergency?

Severe pain, swelling, a knocked-out or broken tooth, or a lost crown. Call before noon and we’ll fit you in the same day.
