Dr. Wilson’s staff is always able to schedule my semi-annual checkups and any repair work around my work schedule. Extremely friendly staff, as is Dr. Wilson. He is always very informative on any dental issue and walks the patient thoroughly over any issues with dental health and all options available to the patient. Very glad to have Dr. Wilson and his staff taking care of my dental health.
Our family always get the best care. Dr Wilson is an amazing dentist and a great person. The staff is all so friendly and nice. Highly recommend.

Special shout out to Dental Hygienist MITZI! She talks to you while she’s performing services and that makes the time go by faster. My husband & I both love her😘
This was one of the best experiences I have ever had at a dentist. Two crowns on my upper left jaw teeth and built up three of my upper front teeth from wear on the cutting edge. Absolute pain free experience. Mr.Wilson and his entire staff are great and very friendly. His dental assistant is very professional and knowledgeable. To say the least I was extremely impressed with the whole establishment.
The kindest hygeniests, dentists, and receptionists around! Wonderful with my children and always makes my 3 year old daughter leave wanting to be a dentist lol.
Dr. Barry Wilson and his entire staff are so patient and kind while treating my 99 year-old mother. I am his dental patient too and am totally committed to trusting my care to Dr. Barry. His skill, wit, and happy gas have taken away my dental phobia!
I wished I would have found them sooner. Definitely won’t go anywhere else.
Everyone from start to finish is so helpful, caring and friendly. I love going here!
While some children with tongue-ties don’t experience problems or it even loosens as they get older, a tongue-tie can often lead to future problems if ignored. Not being able to nurse properly can cause malnutrition. As they get older, your child may experience speech problems too.
The reasons for tongue-ties are relatively unknown, although genetics play a role. While it’s most common for infants and young children, it’s been seen in teens and older adults too. Not everyone has issues with a tongue-tie, though, so it may have gone unnoticed.
No. Because we use a laser to release your child’s tongue-tie, it’s a relatively quick and simple procedure with minimal pain. Your infant will likely have little to no awareness of what is going on. If your child is a bit older, we can use kid-friendly sedation through laughing gas to help keep them calm.
