This dental clinic is like no other I've been to before. Great with kids, informative and very professional but the best part is that you can be with your kids through the entire procedure. I would not even consider taking my child to a dental office if I cannot be present with her. Thanks Dr. Wade

My son needed his tooth pulled and they were very good about explaining what they were doing before they did it. He was busy watching a movie and wasn't concerned or anxious about the procedure, which is a good thing!

Dr. Wade is the best dentist I have ever dealt with. He is extremely caring and devoted to his patients, as well as the parents. I have never left the office feeling like I was rushed through my questions or that I didn't fully understand the treatment plan. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Wade and his staff. All four of my kids love going to the dentist, if that is any indication!

Dr. Wade did a good job explaining the new laser used to fill cavities. He was conversational with my son, encouraging and thanked him for being helpful during the treatment. When the laser was too cold on his teeth and he raised his hand, Dr. Wade listened, stopped, put his teeth to sleep and finished the fillings with another method.

My kids LOVE coming to the Children's Dental Center. Dr Wade is great with my kids. They have never shed a tear. They have had cavities filled and x rays done. I appreciate the modern technology that eliminates the use of painful tools. We love the many flavors of flouride and cleaning paste, flavored gloves, and fun little trinkets they give the kids! This is like coming to Chuck e Cheese! Thank you for all you do!

My daughter came in for a cavity fill, but it was discovered that she needed her frenom (sp?)lasered, too. Dr. Wade and his staff was so good with my daughter. They squeezed us in so we didn't have to come back for the second procedure. My daughter's experience was positive. She felt no pain. Dr Wade and his staff took their time and used the latest technology to make her experience as comfortable as possible. I would highly recommend Dr. Wade.
