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.
