“Fantastic dentistry practice. I had my wisdom teeth removal done here, and the team was great throughout the process. They’re clear, helpful, and direct when discussing treatments and pricing. Definitely recommend.“
I am so grateful to Dr. O’Connor and his staff as I have had some dental work done that wasn’t good. I spoke with many dentists before deciding to have Dr. O’Connor do the work I needed. Dr. O’Connor told me about the procedure and cost. He answered all my questions and was upfront with what I could expect. I am impressed with the staff as well. Jaquelynne is very kind and organized. It was helpful to get things to our insurance. Everyone in the office made my and my wife feel comfortable. Dr. O’Connor just completed my surgery and denture fitting. I am extremely pleased with results. I highly recommend him if you are in need of implants. I wish I had known about him before I spent a lot of money on my lower denture that has given me problems from the beginning.
“The experience I had with Dr. O’Connor and staff was far better than I expected. I knew I needed quite a bit of dental work and was beyond scared and concerned about the process. They not only helped ease my anxiety but Dr O’Connor, Mrs. O’Connor and Jacquelynne made me feel valued and truly cared for. Going through these dental procedures was a true transformation that takes skill and time to complete many processes. My experience was great the entire time along the way. I am so happy I made the decision to meet Dr. O’Connor and would definitely recommend him to anyone needing dental care.”
The office of Dr O’Connor are great! They treat you with the utmost respect and caring for your dental health. I have never had such a great experience with a dentist before. I would not trade them for anything. I had several procedures done with him and seen tremendous progress. I had wisdom tooth pulled out and let me tell you that Dr O’Connor has hands of a angel! No pains, no infections and great recovery. I was dreading this procedure but he made me feel comfortable and went through it like a breeze, not to mention that I had all four of them done at the same time! I would highly recommend his office and expertise to everyone without a doubt. In addition to Dr O’Connor and Diane, Kathy our dental hygienist is fabulous, very friendly and polite you always leave with a smile.
I highly recommend Dr.O’Connor and his team for your dentistry. I had an old baby tooth that never fell out because there was no other tooth to push it out or take its place. I needed an in-plant tooth to fill the void left behind by the baby tooth. Dr. O’Connor told me that if I wanted an implant, that I would need to have a sinus grafting procedure to grow more bone as an anchor point. I was sedated and experienced no pain. The procedure went exactly as planned. After the bone solidified, Dr. O’Connor used a digitally guided dental implant placement. It went incredibly fast and there was absolutely no pain at all. Dr. O’Connor and his team are all so professional and made sure I was always comfortable!
What’s not to love about Dr. O’Connor! He’s super friendly, easy to like, will not “sell” you on something you do not need, and is very, very particular about his work. I like that he gives complete instructions to both me and his dental assistant Diane (which is his wife who was formerly an Operating Room Nurse and extremely competent–they work well together!). He uses only advanced equipment, and has a high-tech office which is attractively decorated with photos of their underseas adventures. Besides routine procedures like cleaning and x-rays, I’ve had my chipped front tooth flawlessly filled, and 2 crowns which blend beautifully with my other teeth. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
I have been a patient of Dr. O’Connor since 2007 or 2008. I visit his office every six months, and I have always had a fantastic experience. Dr. O’Connor and the dental hygienist, Kathy, are always very thorough and take their time. I also appreciate that when you are scheduled for a procedure, you are the only patient that is being seen. I’ve been in other clinics that shuffle procedures/patients and make you wait during your procedure while the dentist works on another (or two or three) patient. Not at this office! You can expect great service, knowledge, and preventative care from the entire staff. I love them so much that my husband and I still schedule our appointments with this office after moving two hours away.

Implant dentistry is not a recognized specialty of the American Dental Association(ADA). Dental implants can last 25 years or more with proper hygiene.
