This was my first visit to College Ave Dentistry and I am very happy with everyone there. Everyone is very professional and polite and I got the feeling that they all care about each other as well as me. The office and rooms are very clean and tidy. I went in for a cleaning and needed a little more work done. They have new modern equipment to make a new crown in house so there is no waiting. Cleaning and crown in less that 2 hrs with no pain whatsoever.

Took my time looking for a dentist that would be professional and patient due to the anxiety of just being in a dentist office. Every single staff member treating me as if I was their friend, yet I have never met them. I was so pleased and grateful I had the opportunity to meet them. Yes my BP was a bit high,however as soon as the treatment started, I felt comfortable with my dental hygienist that was performing my procedure. I did not feel any pain during my procedure. The dental hygienist was patient with me. I am happy to say I have a dentist to go to without the fear of having anxiety and knowing I will be well taken care of by staff that understands.

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
