Testimonials

See what our patients say about our service!

The Thompsons

First thing to know, you can get the Gas here, even for a cleaning! Dr Cooper is awesome and the staff is great! My family now goes here because the service is excellent. We have been so impressed with all the results we have been telling all of our friends and family because it's hard to find a dentist that actually knows what they are doing. A lot of the procedures are done in house so you don't have to go out for all the referrals! If you have a dentist already, I'm telling you, it's worth at least coming here for a cleaning to compare the difference!

There’s plenty of dentistry practices out there but Excellence In Dentistry is the best around. Informative, caring, customer service oriented, and Dr. Cooper and his staff are the professionals. He and his staff cares about their patients. I had a pain free extraction a few months ago and I actually dozed off at my cleaning this past week. I can’t say enough about them!

Anidra Why

Am I the only one who looks forward to going to the dentist office? Well Dr Cooper and staff here are all really nice. The office is very clean and inviting. My last two appointments were amazing. My teeth felt so clean the next day that I did not want to eat anything lol. My hygienist always did a great job cleaning the back of my retainer and making sure she got any stubborn plaque from behind it. She took her time, and did not rush on my teeth, which I loved. She also made sure that I was comfortable, and is the very reason that I permanently switched dentist offices. I was told that she would be leaving the office and relocating to another state, but I am very confident that someone else in the office will be able to meet my needs just fine. I look forward to my next appointment.
