Hear From Our Happy Families

I am SO happy we found this practice. It was so clean, organized and aesthetically pleasing. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by one of the dentists who was willing to answer any questions we had, even before my son got in the chair!
The whole staff was amazing, kind and kept me informed throughout the visit. I couldn’t recommend this practice more!

" For the first time in over eight years, we had an stress-free and sweat free dental visit! We came with our concerns and felt heard and validated! We are super excited and look forward to our next dental visit with a lot less anxiety and that is a huge win for us, both patient and parent! Sensory issues can be tricky, but we felt that our son was met at his level and compassion and care were at the forefront! Thank you Luce Tooth for outstanding patient care!"

Jamie F.

"Such an amazing pediatric dentist office!! I brought my son in for his first ever dentist appointment and was a little nervous. This practice makes both child and parents feel so at ease and comfortable. The office is beautifully done and very clean. The dental hygienist (I forgot her name but so wonderful) and Dr. Scheps are amazing! Very happy with our choice to bring our son here."
