I was amazed to have an initial visit with Dr. Langton within just a few days and the crown replaced at a second visit just a few days later. The entire staff was friendly, courteous, professional, and helpful, and Dr. Langton both clearly explained his plan and took the time to answer any questions I had. The office has some evening and Saturday hours, a terrific help for working patients. It's also easy to set up appointments for a routine cleaning on line. All in all, an exceptional experience.

It was a first to come over Belmont Dental Group for second opinion about necessary dental procedures for root canal surgery and I wish I could find it earlier. Dr. Yoon listened to my oral history and problem carefully and explained what options I have. I decided to take his evaluation because it makes sense for me. I appreciate his honesty and professional attitude! People working here are also kind and respectful so Highly recommend!
