I love the staff. Everyone is professional and friendly. I highly recommend this office. It is not a ‘dental factory’ like so many offices are today. Did I mention that I love this office.
Eren M. –
I have always had excellent dental work done at your office, everybody is so friendly and very concerned about my comfort level while I am there, I may be a big man but I am a big baby when it comes to Needles and such, yesterday’s visit was better than excellent, she is my new favorite dental hygienist, she is terrific, with your patience I am sure I will overcome the fears that I have for the dental work I need done. Thank you very much.
Eric V. –
Good experience overall, nice and easy job done by the doctor whom is very talented and easy to talk to. Would recommend the dentist to anyone unsure about going to the dentist.

I came in to have my teeth cleaned. My hygenist was fabulous as usual and she’s has given me many good tips to have a healthy mouth. I’m always treated kindly and I look forward to my bi-annual visits. I wish I could come here four times a year, instead of 2, that’s how much I like it.
Randy U. –
Richard is the most thorough yet gentle dental hygienist I’ve ever been to. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He doesn’t miss a thing and makes me feel very comfortable. The office itself is a 5 star as well. With the professional and courteous staff. I always feel welcome there and they make the dental experience very pleasant.
Ulvia S. –
The dental hygienist gave me a very thorough checkup and cleaning. She gave me tips about brushing and flossing and was finished in less than an hour. She was confident and very pleasant.

Everyone is always very friendly, helpful and professional. My family and I enjoy our visits to the dentist! We’ve been coming to this office for more than 10 years. We love the free dental supplies and whiting (with referrals).

(This may be a duplicate, but in case the first review didn’t make it, I want to be sure my comments are recorded.)
Yesterday’s visit was successful, particularly because of Penny’s help to me of a personal nature. Richard Willoughby was his usual efficient, cheery self. All of Center Point’s staff was most solicitous despite the many life-changing and/or life-affirming events that have been occurring. Center Point continues my Dental group of choice. I would like to add my congratulations to Dr.McCleave: Happy Birthday and may you enjoy many more productive, healthy years as you
journey through life. Cheers ! Helen and Mel Nelson

Absolutely the easiest overlay I’ve ever had done. Painless, very little wait time, very professional! Everyone is always so nice. You know you are going to be well cared for. Been a patient for over 20 years and very satisfied with the work I’ve had done.
Frank L. –
I love this dental practice and have had a lot of experience with them. Every attention to detail meets all my expectations. I know if something were to go up side down they take care of it. They are friendly and always on top of the details. I ask many questions and they are very patient. Also for any patient who has any fears about seeing a dentist this practice is the place to go, they are so gentle and caring and honestly just about pain free. They care!!!

The doctor that did my root canal on Wed. 4/30 was wonderful. Never before have I fallen asleep during a dental treatment!

I was expecting Bles, but the new girl did just fine.
Bob G. –
I have never had a cavity and never needed a filling until now. I had two small chips in my upper and lower rear molars from biting a bone chip. The told me it would be best to get them patched to avoid turning into a cavity. I was a littlt nervous from hearing horror stories from people that needed alot of dental work. The drills sounded like a terrible experience.
Dr. Aras and staff are awesome. I arrived at 8 am, they were ready for me right away. He told me they were not going to use a drill, but instead a Laser that removes any soft material and preps the surface for the patch. No numbing needed. I had always had a good experience here so I trusted them.
20 minutes later I was done. All patched, no pain, and two invisible patches.
Best Dentist office ever!!

Maciel B. –
Always a great process from appointment setting, to appointment confirmation/updates. In my 7 years of going never had to wait more than a few minutes to be called in for my cleanings. Have had a few fillings and an emergency chipped tooth that they took me in same day. Best dentist office I’ve experienced and will always my business and referrals. All the staff is amazing and I always look forward to my cleanings with Richard as well.
Peggy S. –
I’m new to this office. I read the reviews before I decided to make my appointment. the staff is just so kind and so helpful. I was made to feel like ode been part of this office long term. My experience with Dr Aras has been wonderful. He’s very informative without “selling” you on future care. He has great advice and I have found my new dentist and his crew!
