Long review but worth the read guys ‼️I have never been to a dental office this advanced and detailed in my life! I found this office on Google, called on Thursday, and was able to get an appointment the very next day. 🙌🏼 Dr. Stegall is incredibly personable, welcoming, and takes the time to make you feel comfortable. The entire staff was friendly and professional from the moment I walked in. The ladies at the front desk got me checked in quickly and were very organized.🦷🪥 My hygienist assistant, Alexis, is very young, so I was a little nervous at first. However, she completely exceeded my expectations. She is so sweet, knowledgeable, and professional. She explained every step before we did it and answered every question I had. During my appointment, another employee came into the room and made an odd comment, saying something like, “Oh, what’s she doing lying? That’s all she does is lie.” It could have made the situation uncomfortable, but Alexis handled it with complete professionalism. She simply laughed it off, stayed focused on my care, and continued explaining everything. She is going to go very far in this field. 👩🏽‍⚕️ Now for the exciting part! They performed a test to see how quickly my body breaks down collagen and also took an oral swab to test my dental health. My hygienist thoroughly explained my deep cleaning treatment plan. I’ve been to two other dental offices before, and neither one offered laser treatment or an oral bacteria test to identify exactly what bacteria are present before deciding on treatment. 🥼👩‍🔬 What really stood out to me was learning that not all bacteria can be treated with a cleaning alone—some require antibiotics. That made perfect sense. Without testing, I could have gone through an extensive deep cleaning only for the problem to return because the underlying bacteria wasn’t properly treated. While that’s just a hypothetical scenario, I’m sure it happens more often than people realize. I love how they have the monitor in front of you so that you can see everything live while explaining everything to you. The office itself is spotless, has plenty of parking 🅿️, is wheelchair accessible, and I absolutely loved that it wasn’t filled with harsh, bright lights. As someone who gets overstimulated easily, that made a huge difference in how comfortable I felt. If you’re looking for a dental office that truly stays up to date with technology, takes the time to educate patients, and genuinely cares about providing quality care, this is the place. Just get here—you won’t regret it. I’d put my bottom dollar on it!

This is going to be a long review, but they deserve every word of it. I am someone who is extremely scared of the dentist, full-on panic attacks, shaking, the whole thing. Dr. Juan and Alexis have never once made me feel embarrassed about it. Instead, they treat me with patience, kindness, and genuine care every single visit. They talk me through everything, check in constantly, and make sure I feel safe and comfortable. I know it can’t be easy dealing with patients like me, but they never show frustration. They show compassion. And I’m truly grateful for how much effort they put in to helping me, it does NOT go unnoticed. Dr. Juan and Alexis are truly exceptional!!

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
