 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  From the moment that you walk into this office you know that you're in a place of professionalism and that you'll be in good hands. We were greeted by a very pleasant receptionist, an excellent Dental Hygienist and Dr. Aaron Johnson making up the dental team that saw both my husband and myself.  All three of these people were so pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. Even though we obviously were there for dental reasons, it felt as if we're back visiting old friends that we hadn't seen for a long time! If you're looking for a dental practice,  look no further,  because Progressive Dentistry & Orthodontics is the place for you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I had a great experience at Progressive Dentistry. I have neglected caring for my gums in the past so I had pretty severe periodontal disease. From the moment I walked in to when I left everything was clearly explained and laid out for me, pricing was discussed beforehand and I was aware of every step. The staff and doctor were very friendly and informative. They spent ALOT of time during my deep clean making sure every bit was out and even following up with xrays more than once to verify. I am so grateful for my healthy new mouth and I will be going back to Progressive for all future dental care.
