Received new crowns today which proved to be an interesting experience, observing the artistic and precise work of Dr Van Haren and kind assistant. Both explained each step and continued to check my comfort level. The crowns are a beautiful match, pain was so minimal, and procedures completed were timely and gentle. Great overall experience!!!! Grateful

A five star review from a fellow dentist: I have been a dentist since 1981. I owned my own solo dental practice for 33 years. So as a seasoned dental professional and as a dental patient, without reservation I highly recommend this dental practice. It offers warmth, as well as the needed technical competency and integrity.
