About us
What to Expect
One of our primary concerns will be to make you feel comfortable in our office. We offer a calm, caring, and relaxing environment. On your first visit, we allow enough time for Dr. Bennett to examine you, go over your history, explain temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ/TMD), sleep apnea, or bruxism, answer your questions, and decide which treatment options are best for you. Should you decide to continue treatment with us, you can expect the same courteous and professional care our practice is known for. Please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions page for further information.
