I love Cosmetic Dentistry. I see Dr. Whalen whom I absolutely adore but the entire staff here is wonderful. They take such good care of me that I almost forget I’m at the Dentist... I have had an ongoing issue for quite some time now and Dr. Whalen is always happy to help whether it’s my first visit or tenth for the same issue. He just goes above and beyond.

Dr Whalen and his staff are very professional, caring and friendly. I’ve had a lot of dental work throughout the years and by far they are the best I’ve ever been to. I first came here in an emergency situation... Dr Whalen got me in the next day. I truly feel that they saved my life and saved me from an even more serious situation... I would HIGHLY recommend Dr Whalen.
