“Wouldn’t go anywhere else!”
I’ve been going to Dr Lichtsinn for about 8 years now and I just love it. (who would ever think you could say that about a dentist!) Everyone there just feels like family and they always make you feel like a cared about person in their lives. Dr Lichtsinn even makes balloon animals for my kids when they’re done with their cleanings. So easy to make appointments and Jennifer takes care of literally everything for you with insurance. I recommend them to everyone!

“Down to earth office you can trust”
My kids love the fun atmosphere that everyone creates at Southpointe Dental. It's great that everyone remembers even the littlest details about not just your dental health but the tid bits of your life...vacations, graduations...it makes you feel so special.

“Trusted emergency dental care”
I was having such terrible tooth pain and I called EVERYWHERE. It was like no one cared how much pain I was in....until I called Southpointe Dental. Jennifer was so patient and understanding. She really had a caring voice and when she said she could get me in the same day, I felt nothing but hope! Dr Lichtsinn and Leslie were amazing and so gentle. I really knew everything was going to be ok when I left. I will be back as a permanent patient! Recommend them beyond words!!

“Trusted emergency dental care”
My first time seeing Dr Lichtsinn. I was having some pretty bad tooth pain but my regular dentist is 100 miles away. Jennifer was able to get me in right away when I told her my situation. Dr Jim was able to relieve my pain with a short appointment by adjusting by bite...my pain is now like night and day...so much better! I would recommend Southpointe Dental to anyone looking for an office that listens to you and actually hears your concerns.
