EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m so grateful to have been recommended Dr. Tim at Elation Dental as I am a fairly complex case with bruxism, crowns, composite veneers, teeth removals needed etc etc. The team took the time to understand my needs and create a plan for me moving forward. I appreciated knowing costs upfront to be able to plan financially. I’d been on the hunt for a new dental practise and couldn’t recommend this spot higher!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Always great and friendly service.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I had a great check up with Dr Tim. He was very relaxed and gentle with the kids and explained everything to me and my wife in a no-nonsense manner. There was no element of pressure or judgement, like I have felt with other dentists.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The dentist I have been seeing since childhood retired and after trying their replacement we decided to go somewhere new. We were recommended Elation through a friend and I would highly recommend them. Doctor Tim was great with my kids (ages 2 and 4) and my husband and I left understanding any problem areas but most importantly feeling pretty great about our teeth. Would highly recommend for a no-nonsense, family friendly dentist.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
