What patients say about their emergency visits
“First time patient. I called them for a dental emergency and they were able to see me right away! Everyone was super friendly and they were able to resolve my issue! Highly recommend!”
“As someone with major dental anxiety, a dental emergency was the last thing I wanted to deal with. I called Dental Matters, and they were able to see me same day. I ended up needing a root canal, which was a terrifying thought. However, every single person at Dental Matters made me feel calm, relaxed, and in good hands. I did not experience pain at any time during the process.”
“I was seen for an emergency dental visit and found everyone at Dental Matters friendly and efficient. I greatly appreciated being able to make an appointment for a next-day visit!”
