I saw Dr Cummings for my tmj pain in Oct 2014. He was spot on with his diagnosis. I had been clinching my teeth at night while I was sleeping! I have a night guard already, as this seems to be a recurring problem. Dr Cummings had something new to offer me and it worked like a charm! Dr Cummings did BOTOX injections in the large muscles of my cheeks. Within 4 days I had relief. And within a week I was completely back to normal! Dr Cummings told me that I may have to have the injections again in 3-6 months, but it has been 9 months now and I haven't needed it again! I personally think Dr Cummings worked a miracle with my tmj pain! And, on top of it all, his receptionist Heather L sat with me and held my hand for the injection part! I was very nervous, but it turned out to be so simple and painless! Thank you Dr Cummings and staff for being so great and for getting rid of my pain!

I have been a patient of Dr. Cummings for almost 20 years and I have NEVER had a bad experience. I used to dread going to the dentist and he makes it fun and easy to go to the dentist. They treat you like family. His work is like perfection and if it isn't, he will fix it for you. I had six veneers done 16 years ago and they still look great. When I tell people that my six front teeth are veneered, they are always amazed because they look so natural. If you are looking for an awesome dental home and this is the place for you!
