Why People Love Whitman Dental Center

I usually have a bunch of dentist anxiety. This place was welcoming, friendly and a very casual, relaxing environment. They had the 360 scan, which I love. They were also very professional and bedside manner was also above par. I've been searching for a dentist office that actually makes me feel encouraged to come back on time.
