I have been seeing Dr. VanHaren and his wonderful team for my general dentistry for several years now. The staff is awesome, as is Dr. VanHaren himself. I always feel like my best interests are their top priority, I totally trust them. I am now working with Dr. VanHaren for my ortho as well, using one of the newer tray systems. It’s nice to have one dentist that I am comfortable with that can handle everything related to my teeth. The ortho process has been smooth and things are moving along as planned. I can highly recommend this team!

Very nice staff. Dr. VanHaren was very easy to talk to. He took time to review your history and explain any questions. I will be seeing him again for a treatment plan.

I have consistent, excellent experiences at Van Haren dentistry I am made to feel comfortable and educated on advanced products that are designed to provide extra protection against tooth decay. I appreciate the hygienist I work with consistently, Megan. She is always professional, efficient, knowledgable, and kind. She can tell if techniques I am using are making difference from one visit to the next. When I have to have dental work done, Dr. Van Haren has great skill at helping my cosmetic dentistry stay in good shape and addressing problems that arise so that they do not become bigger.problems. And I am made very comfortable even during those procedures. Thank you, Van Haren dentistry!
