Amazing experience. Entire staff is attentive and kind. Spent so much time with me on a consultation! I cannot recommend them enough. In fact referring my daughter and son in law to Dr. Teasdale. Outstanding service.”
I went to Advanced Dental Arts to consult about a loose bridge. Dr. Russ Teasdale and his staff are very knowledgeable and caring, and he patiently explained all the options. I will definitely be going back, and highly recommend his dental office.”
Had an absolutely incredible experience here. I had dense gum tissue in between my front two teeth that looked inflamed. My normal dentist said nothing could be done. After one appointment here they removed it and gave me the smile I've always wanted. So happy I found this place! 10/10 recommend.”
