My first time here was an emergency appointment. I was impressed with the bright and immaculate waiting area. Receptionist was very welcoming and pleasant. I was quickly taken to exam room. The dental assistant was so nice and kind. The dentist was great! They both calmed my fears and I felt that I was in good hands. My procedure went well. Everything explained and a plan was made for future appointments. I don’t know all of the names( I was very nervous when introduced to everyone)but I will. At checkout, she was also friendly, took her time explaining what will be needed next. I thank each one so much. Most importantly, I have a new dentist. Highly recommended.
Dr. Alex and his team are the absolute dental care providers I’ve ever experienced. He is a wizard at diagnosis, crowns, implants and treatment plans. Great professional office - everyone on the staff - admin to hygienists - are all excellent. Recommend Sensitive Care without reservation!
Care Advanced comprises the most thorough and competent dental professionals who have ever provided dental care for me and my family. All of the staff are focused on patient care and support and the services they offer are second to none.
I am very pleased with the dental care I am receiving from Dr. Alex Quintner and his team. Having all my natural teeth removed and replaced with permanent dentures is something I have been putting off for years. I am very glad to finally have the process well underway and I am extremely satisfied with the results. Ultimately it will take some months before I have the finished product but one day of surgery and I walked out with temporary fixed dentures. It was an immediate improvement. Even considering the bit of physical discomfort from the surgery and a short time thereafter, I was promptly recognizing a vast improvement over what I had come accustomed to tolerating day in and day out for years prior. Thanks!
Best dentist I have ever come across in the 64 years of my life. Meticulous, careful, and very caring. The office is equipped with the latest technology (for example a 3 D printer) which makes receiving crowns, implants, and night guards etc. so much faster. Highly recommend the dentists there.
I was treated very well by everyone I came in contact with and Dr Alex really took his time explaining the different procedures available. Going to the dentist is no one’s idea of a fun time, but it doesn’t get much better than this.
