I absolutely love Little Grins Dental!! Their environment is so kid friendly, it begins with the playground in the waiting area dnd end with the colorful murals in the exam rooms. Their staff is amazing as well. The receptionist,dental assistants, and Dr. Craig are so accomodating to my little one. Dr. Craig is also very good at answering any questions or concerns I have. I highly recommend them to anyone!

My girls, ages 4-1/2 and 1-1/2, had their very first visit and we were all so impressed! My 4 yr old asked a ton of questions and the dental assistant patiently answered each one. Once they turned on the 3D tv, she was a goner and they were even able to get x-rays and everything! My 1yr old did amazing and they were so easy and patient with her as well. The staff was extremely helpful and polite and Dr. Craig was so friendly! My kids didn't want to leave! I highly recommend them!!!

I am so SO happy that we found Little Grins Dental. My kiddos never liked going to the dentist before and now they look forward to it every time! Yes...the play area is GREAT, but the best part is the staff and dentist. They interact to the kids with respect. I only wish I was able to come here for my own dental needs :)

From the moment we stepped into Little Grins we were blown away! There is so much detail and thought that has gone into this business, from the play structure, to the murals on the wall, to the 3D tvs above each dental chair. The dental heigenist was so friendly and great with my son! My son had never been to the dentist before Little Grins and we were not sure how he would react to having to get his cavities filled. Dr. Rechemer was great at keeping my son calm and is very skilled at what he does! My son didn't even flinch when he gave him the shots. We will be going back and will be letting all of our friends know how amazing Little Grins is!

The care and attention from Little Grins is above and beyond what is required. They treat my kids like royalty from the moment they walk in the door until the leave. The staff at the front desk is amazing! They even go so far to call our insurance prior to our appointment to confirm what they will and will not pay. Even when my daughter broke her permanent top front teeth, they're emergency service was outstanding! Our family loves this place. We recommend it to everyone we know!

My son visited Dr. Craig for his first dentist appointment at 18 months. He loved the experience and there were no tears! The waiting room was fun and didn't make him nervous, and Dr. Craig and the staff were patient with him. We are very lucky to have found such a great dentist for him! :)

Little Grins is amazing! I recommened them to all our little friends! Our daughter began at age 3 and she is now 6. She loves going to the dentist! The staff take a child centered approach to their work and let the child guide the process. They also allow parents to stay with their children which is a must for me. My daughter had an appointment today and can't wait to go back! She loves the play place while she waits and the goodie bag when ahe leaves. And no cavities! Yay!

The staff was kind, playful yet knowledgeable. My daughter loved the amenities. I loved that there were toys to keep her occupied during our very brief wait. The wait could have been longer if you asked her.
I definitely recommend Little Grins Dental.
