I had a great dental visit. I had worked for a dentist office for 3 years and was very particular when I choose a new office for my family. I heard great things about Dr. Wright and Brittney had been our hygienist years before. Both my visits went very well. Dr. Wright is very personable. Her assistant Tina was very friendly and so was the whole office. They were very helpful when given me info on what I would owe. Dr. Wright fixed an issue for me that I had for years and didn’t think could be fixed. I highly recommend them.

Dental Offices Terrified me….Until I became one of Dr.Frank D’Auria’s first patients (long before “The Center for Dental Health” was established) and grieve his and his staff’s departure. They were a great crew. I’m feeling truly blessed by the seamless transition Dr. Kelly Wright has accomplished. I am not one who is comfortable with change or meeting new people, but everyone in this office is welcoming, friendly, helpful, competent, professional and just plain nice. What can I say other than Thank You.

I absolutely love the care and concern given to me at The Center for Dental Health. You are treated as a person here, not a number, and not just another co-pay. I've always felt like I matter from the front end staff to my hygienist to my dentist.

After 5 spending years avoiding dental offices, I entered the Center for Dental Health and almost immediately all of my anxiety melted away. I was greeted with wonderful smiles by the front desk staff and brought back for my exam very quickly. Amy provided great conversation and swift service while taking X-ray and Dr. Wright performed her exam quick and painlessly. Not to take away from the rest of the staff, but the highlight of my visit was Jean the hygienist. Jean exhibited incredible knowledge and proficiency in her duties and gave me sound reassurance everytime I felt self conscious about the state of my dental health which really helped me a lot through the experience. I can honestly say that my mouth feels “better” after the cleaning. I think the most special thing about Jean is how much she cares for her patients. I could tell that Jean genuinely cared for my well being as a person and that speaks heavily to the mood of the entire office. I think healthcare providers that actually care for the well being of their patients are few and far between and this office is packed full of them!

Comfortable, pain and discomfort free. Thank you!

I’ve been going to the Center for Dental Health for about 6 years. The staff is Outstanding. The hygienists (Jean in particular) and Dr. Wright are friendly, thorough and knowledgeable. Having to go to the dentist has never been a “look forward to” experience but they make it a walk in the park.

I love everything and everyone at Center for Dental Health. My family and I have been going there since we moved to the area 13 years ago. We absolutely adore the staff, they are always friendly and treat you like family. I am thankful for the email and text reminders to keep me on schedule and on time! I’ve always been able to get in for emergencies and they are always able to work around my families busy work and school schedules for routine appointments. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!!! I’d give 10 Stars if I could!

I can not thank Dr Wright and Ashley enough for making me feel so comfortable. As a patient that has not had good past experiences they made it so I now don’t mind when I get the reminder that I have a appointment. Honestly I am not sure where my dental health would be without them!

I am probably the most nervous and scared person on earth when it comes to going to a dentist. I had to go, after years of not seeing a dentist, for 3 fillings in 1 visit. She was so kind and gentle I felt like she truly understood my fears and did everything to make me comfortable. And the results are more than I could've imagined!! Beautiful teeth again, I love them!!

I have been going to the Center for Dental Health for at least the last 25 years (I miss Karla, she was my hygienist for most of that time). I've been satisfied consistently with the service and professionalism. Since the doctor has changed from Dr. D'Auria the same level of care and honesty has stayed the same. The communication and top notch technology is exciting without leaving behind customer service.

I think they are amazing

I have stayed with this practice after the retirement of Dr. D'Auria. Mostly routine exams and cleanings which have been uneventful and very professional. I'm now seeing new faces (behind masks) and I continue to be very impressed with how the staff handles things during the pandemic. Yesterday, March 9, I broke part of a tooth and called to make an appointment. I was able to get in early this morning (March 10) and was given excellent care to temporarily fix the problem and was given an appointment to correct the issue. I truly appreciate the concern, good humor and positive attitude of Tina and Dr. Wright. As emergency dentist visits go, I give it a Five Star.

I was worried when Dr D’Auria retired, but he honestly couldn’t have left the practice in better hands! Excellent customer service is provided at every visit, ensuring that each one is pleasant. I always leave with a smile on my face (even if I can’t feel it).
