“My first visit to Way Dental was back in November. I had a wisdom tooth with the biggest cavity and it needed to come out. When you walk into the office, it smells like my house after a day of cleaning and febreeze plug-ins. The staff is also extremely nice.”

“I needed wisdom teeth extraction that I’ve been avoiding due to fear. I called up my regular dentist and he told me that he would recommend Dr. A %100. I got them done and Im so glad I did. The surgery went very smoothly. I had no pain just a little bit sore. The office called me up the next day to check on me and ask if I'm following their post-op and taking the necessary medications. What a great experience. Thank you Way Dental and Dr. Amarante.”
