Fantastic experience: From the front desk to the final payment my experience was 5 star all the way. I was in extreme pain and nervous to say the least. After being brought back, I was made extremely comfortable and Dr. Russell made sure my pain was alleviated. Then we were able to discuss the options I had for the day's procedure. Dr. Russell and his assistant made sure I had no pain, and explained that this would take awhile to remove my broken tooth. Once removed, I was explained what I needed to do for the best results, and if any complications were to arise what to expect. My billing was explained to me thoroughly and a follow-up appointment was made for the best continued care for the future. Working in the medical field myself, I cannot tell you how refreshing this experience was for me. River Oaks Dental has a grateful and repetitive patron for all future dental use, not only myself, but my family. Thank you again to EVERYONE at River Oaks Dental.

Fantastic experience: I chipped my front tooth, they got me in the next day. I am terrified of the dentist but I had to go, it was a ugly ! Dr. Parker put me at ease, he was down to earth, funny and did an incredible restorative job on my tooth. You can not tell at all that it was ever cracked. They have upfront pricing that is reasonable unlike many dentists in our area. They do not do sedation but offer nitrous for those of us with dental anxiety, I will be going back for further work that I've been putting off.
