Fantastic experience: Good atmosphere, good people and nice experience considering going too a Dentist.

Fantastic experience: Cool people...good work they do..thanks

Negative experience: Staff was nice, facility was clean. Dr. Stockton was nice and joked with me and welcomed me to the Stockton family, which was a nice touch. My appt was at 230 I arrived about 215. I was in the chair by 230, however it was about 315 before my cleaning started, which he apologized for. I was walking out by or before 345. Overall a good visit and ill go back. **11/1/25 update** ok, Dr. Stocktom advised i needed a deep cleaning in Oct or Nov of 2024, I had the procedure in Nov and from the time he did it, my gums bled profusely afterwards. He prescribed me Chlorhexidine, advised me i was brushing "too hard". I told them about a space between my teeth that was catching food,he told me he had one too and to use a waterpik to floss..the bleeding continued. In May or June of 2025 after my continued complaints, he finally referred me to a periodontist. In not so many words she told me the deep cleaning Dr stockton did made things worse . I ended up at another Dentist, had to pay out of pocket for another deep cleaning because Dr. Stockton used my benefit, that only allows deep cleaning once every 2 years, finally a whole year later my gums are not bleeding. They advised that there was a LOT of buildup below the gum line that should not have formed in a year. So be cautious with deep cleanings and ask to be sent to a periodontist..wish I knew then what I know now.

Fantastic experience: Thank you for making this a pleasant experience. Although, I was so nervous about my lack of dental care especially since Pandemic. But everyone especially Dr. Stockton was so understanding and kind. He gave me a thorough exam and took X-rays. The next day the hygienist that cleaned my teeth was kind and she did an excellent job informing me of each step in her ultra care of the cleaning process. May the Lord continue to make His face shine upon you ❤️

Fantastic experience: Stockton Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is a the best establishment that I have come across.

Fantastic experience: The Stockton family Dentistry was recommended to me. I visited and had one of the best dentist visit in a while. My family and I will continue to support your business.

Negative experience: They wanted to do a full exam and we only wanted a consultation for dental bonding or crowns. More questions should be asked and more education provided at the time of scheduling to avoid wasting time. We were excited to see them for nothing. This is a cosmetic dentistry facility so I am not sure why consultations alone are not provided. Its ok though, there are other dentists around, I just wanted to shop "black" first.

Fantastic experience: LOVED this place!! It was my first time, when I called Olivia was sooooo polite and friendly. Initially she was giving me first available, but when I mentioned that I was having pain she squeezed me in at the end of their day. AND to top it off I was running 10 minutes late and when I called she stated “just come on in”. Dr Stockton was so nice and he listened to me AND included me in his making of the treatment plan. I’m a person that HATES the dentist but when I left there I was slightly more at ease.

Fantastic experience: The experience was good and the communication was great. Dr. Stockton and his staff showed and explained in detail the what, why, and how the next step(s) were to needed in future. I looked forward to next my next appointment.

Through Dental Lifeline who refers people who can’t afford dental care, and Dr.Stockton helped me with free dentures that just broke ( after dropping them several times).. this year .‼️‼️.. so I knew since I have dental benefits now… I chose his practice to have my benefits because he helped me when I didn’t have any.EXCELLENT care, nice office staff..‼️‼️

Fantastic experience: I love Dr. Stockton and his entire staff. I will always come to them for all of my dental needs and I pray that his practice as well as his entire staff are blessed in more ways than the y could ever imagine. I am a veteran and I was referred to him from the VA for the first time in 2021 for some dental work. I am very afraid of the dentist, but from the time that I walked in, they assured me that everything was going to be alright and that I was in good hands. Dr.Stockton took his time and made sure that I was relaxed. He explained everything that he was doing and after ever needle he made sure that I was ok. I did not feel anything minus little amounts of pressure. When I went back to the VA , I bragged on his work and his professionalism because I had never experienced a dentist so gentle and who truly cares. Dr. Stockon you are amazing, and I appreciate you to the fullest. Now, I must brag on the amazing Hygienist that cleaned my teeth. She was awesome and her work is amazing. She is very caring, and she takes great pride in her job. Since, I have been out of the military, I have always gone to the VA for my cleanings and the individual there is the roughest hygienist that I have ever experienced in my 37 years of living. I have no desire to ever sit in her chair again. I have fallen in love with the hygienist and I hope she never leaves Dr. Stockton because I may have to hunt her down. Dr. S. You and team are amazing. Keep doing awesome things.
