This is a great general dentistry practice. My family has been going here for many years. I started as a child and am still here. Great gentle compassionate care is offered. My spouse hated dentist visits but now is won over. I can't recommend highly enough.

I have struggled finding a good dentist that takes my insurance so I finally decided enough damage has been done and I was going to pay out of pocket somewhere else. My experience with Dr Balonek, Audrey and the whole staff has been anything short from amazing. I don’t fear going in anymore. Yesterday I had to have roots removed and besides being a little sore right after, I haven’t even felt any pain today. The DR takes his time, explains everything for you step by step and makes sure that you are uncomfortable. The only complaint I have is that I have not gone here sooner and I am really kicking myself for that because I know it would have saved me so much if I had!

I used to be terrified of going to the dentist until I met Dr. Balonek 15 years ago. Dr. Balonek will always be ready with good conversation. He's just the best there is, period. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. I was shocked to see the last review. That's why there are Oral Surgeons out there, to remove teeth. Some situations call for the specialist. He's referred me to a surgeon for removals before and it was good experience for me. Dr. Balonek is a great dentist in my opinion, don't hesitate to give him a try!
