HAPPY PATIENTS
"When searching for new dentist office I was very blessed to come in contact with Cedar Drive Family Dentistry. For my age, I had some embarrassing teeth problems due to a long line of family history in bad oral hygiene and no insurance coverage for about 5 years had me more embarrassed than ever about my teeth. After several months of visits I finally felt like I could comfortably smile again because I had so much to smile about when previously my teeth kept that smile to a minimum. Cedar Drive Family Dentistry's staff were always so positive and never made me feel uncomfortable. I won't go anywhere else! Never have I felt so comfortable in a dentist office!"
"I have personally been going to this particular dental office since before I can remember! My entire family and I have been coming to Cedar Drive Family Dentistry for over 18 years. The staff is incredible and tailors to your individual needs. The office is very professional and always clean. They are very passionate about their work, you're always greeted with a smile and you'll always recieve the highest quality in dental work."

"I have been a patient at Cedar Drive since I was 3. The entire staff has been wonderful to my family and myself all these years! We all know eachother on a first name basis and it always feels like close friends or even family each time I visit this practice. They are always friendly and take good care of you. Mrs. Almetta is always sure to give me a reminder call a few days before my appointment and are always willing to work around my schedule. I absolutely adore them and hope they're still around when I get old enough to need dentures! "
