Success Stories

5 stars

Absolutely the best in dental care. Dr. Howell and staff are the best! Had a root canal that was totally pain free during and after! Had second root canal and Dr. Howell and staff did a fantastic job. Totally pain free. Finished procedure at 10:00 am and enjoyed lunch at noon with no pain or sensitivity to hot or cold. Many thanks

I and my family have been going to Dr. Howell’s office for about ten years now and have always received the most personalized professional, and skillful dental care every time. I consider Dr. Howell and his whole team to be nothing short of dental artists. Every aspect of the work, from scheduling and insurance to cleanings and root canals... these are good hands to be in. Thank you Dr. Howell and team.

I’v been going to Dr. Howell for many years and he’s an excellent dentist. He is experienced and kind. He’s also very careful - he treats every person and tooth like a unique case, and wants to get things just right. His office staff have always been cheerful and polite, and are very knowledgeable and helpful with insurance. Highly recommended!
