When you are at the dentist it’s nice to see a staff that is friendly and totally competent. Amy, my hygienist is better by a large margin than any other I’ve ever had. I am completely comfortable with Amy, Dr. Rutsis and the entire staff.

What an amazing office and if I could give 10 stars I would. I had veneers put in out of state many years ago. The front center tooth popped off and I was recommended to go to a dentist in Melbourne. Over a month later and after several traumatic experiences, I was left with a veneer that not only didn't match in color but was the wrong shape, thickness and was extremely painful. I was devastated and questioned my own sanity in that the former dentist told me "it was good." Thank God I found Dr Rutsis! They immediately fit me in and assured me that they could fix it. Instead of the repeated painful appointments that I had just gone through, Dr Rutsis had me go to the lab to get the replacement veneer color matched. Instead of being back three times in a month and getting shots in the same location which caused my whole face to ache, Dr. Rutsis replaced the old veneer in one appointment, without any need for numbing and no pain. I literally cried in the chair out of joy (unlike crying in pain at the former office). The replacement is utterly perfect, my mouth no longer hurts and I can smile again. All the ladies at the office were kind, supportive and extremely knowledgeable...they set my mind and heart at ease (which meant the world). Dr Rutsis was just as picky, if not more picky than me about my new veneer which shows her dedication to profession. Without hesitation I 100% recommend this office for your dental work and especially for veneer work.

The dental hygienist, Jorden, did a thorough cleaning. She was very friendly and concerned about my comfort at all the times. The dentist also has a great personality. She said to keep up the great work as my teeth were ok.
