What people are saying

I’ve ALWAYS hated going to the dentist ever since I was young. This place has changed the way I see dentist appointments. I don’t dread coming here. Everyone is so incredibly welcoming. They do an incredible job putting you at ease. The office is clean and up to date on the latest technology. It’s clear they care about their patients and aren’t just trying to make money. I would highly recommend this office to anyone and everyone.
Dr. Robbins was absolutely amazing! She talked me through my whole dental cavity filling experience. She made sure I was super comfortable and numb before she started. I definitely recommend her and polished dentistry because they are great.
Saw Dr. Kim as a first time patient after falling and breaking one of my front teeth. Dr. Kim was kind, gentle, and empathetic. He checked in with me regularly while fixing my tooth and made sure I wasn’t having pain. Most importantly, he fixed my smile to the point where you cannot even tell that half my tooth is fake! I highly recommend Dr. Kim and everyone at Polished Dentistry!
