Positive experience: I love the ability to have a locally ran dentistry in such a small town, but the only reason why I’m leaving 3 Stars is because every time I come for a checkup I have to wait 15+ minutes in the lobby when I arrive on time. Just wish they was a more fluid system so customers don’t have to wait.
Thank you for your kind words and honest feedback. We’ve worked hard on scheduling flow and hope your next visit reflects that.

Fantastic experience: I moved her 3 years ago from New Jersey. Buena Vista Family Denistry came recommended from a colleague. My 3 kids ages 9(twins) 6 when they first went and 11, 8 when he first started and myself all go here. My 9 year old has had his first cavity filled...this was his first visit after covid. All 3 kids have had sealants (spelling?) and I had to have root canal. This office doesn't perform the root canal itself but they treated the infection and pain until my appointment and then did my permanent filling. I've also had a couple cavities filled. I have been very happy and impressed with all services and the costumer service is above and beyond! Everyone is so kind! Im not sure anyone working there ever has a bad day!!! Highly recommend!
