“Best dental experience ever.”
I'm 54 and have been to a lot of dentist most of them leaving me in alot of pain and more pain when i get the bill. At Pema Dental Center I had a few broken teeth extracted and fitted for a partial and the hole thing took lees then an hour and had virtually no pain during the procedure .the hole staff from the receptionist/tech to the dentist Dr Pema and his assistant was a fantastic experience. And the payment plan they got me on allows me to still have some money left in the bank.
I would recommend Pema dental to everyone. No joke.
