Featured Testimonials

I have never had such a good experience with getting a new crown. Not only was the temporary one done with precision, the new one was put on without pain and my bite is perfect! Also, the staff is very kind, caring and professional. Dr John really impressed me and I am thankful to have this team as I really hate going to the dentist....lol. Great place so far!

Very positive experience with everyone at Timbercrest Dental. From receptionists to Dental Assistant to Dr. Luther. Everyone puts you at ease. No fear of future dental work because this two hour visit was actually relaxing.

I recently started going to Timber Crest and I absolutely love it! The entire team is so friendly and knowledgeable. Dr Luther does such an amazing job at explaining everything to you so you feel comfortable. I can’t recommend this place enough!

I have brought my kids there on more than one occasion to remove tooths that have been either infected or rotting. Regardless of my kids age and the slight difficulty my kids presented, the dentists and assistants were patient and efficient at ensuring my kids were calm, relaxed and taken care of. Other dentists refused to even help when one of my kids gave a hint of difficulty.
