Before: Patient unhappy with six Upper Anterior teeth. The edges are uneven, the gumline is uneven on the two central incisors, and the color/shade is not uniform. The two lateral incisor teeth have been previously restored and are poorly shaped. After: Smile restored with 6 Upper Anterior Crowns that are properly shaped, gumline is uniform, and color/shade is the same for all 6 incisor teeth.
Before: 3 Unit bridge with chipped porcelain molar (supporting metal showing on molar tooth), poor enamel color match to patient's natural teeth, and poor fit around the patient's gumline. After: Replaced Bridge with an All Porcelain Bridge. The new bridge now also matches the patient's natural tooth color and was designed to properly fit around the gumline.

Tried to get appointment here. Was talked down to on the phone made to feel ridiculous and embarrassed about my anxiety of going to a dentist. Was told "all we do is give nitrous oxide, if that's not good enough there's nothing else we can do. You need to go somewhere else." And so I will. Was also told I wouldn't be seen anyway unless I became an existing patient and agreed to have my teeth cleaned there atleast twice a year. Thier website stating the ease and friendliness needs to be removed.

Great dentist! After a very negative experience in South Carolina with a dentist who gave me an ugly crown in just 75 days for a cost to me of $2,510.05, Dr. Southern completed a beautiful crown for me in 2 hours for a fraction of the cost.
She is a gem and has a staff to match. It is always a pleasure to visit her office.

Loved the Dentist! She was a miracle worker and gentle...until her Secretary couldn't do her job correctly and 1) gave me the wrong time to show up for and 2) lied to the dentist saying that I got rude with her. How you can yell while chocking back tears--I'll never know. I was upset because during a procedure the dentist hit a tooth and half broke off that night,and I was going in for a repair. I wasn't allowed to return. That was no problem, as I WAS grateful for what she'd done...until a root canal crown and stem cell out a few weeks later! ALL the work she did has failed--broke or fell out

Great dentist who really cares about her patients and keeping people healthy. My family has been to this dentist office for decades and always felt very well treated. Office staff is always friendly and flexible with scheduling, I definitely recommend if you are looking for a dentist.

Have called numerous times over the past year trying to get an appointment. Have been told every time I call that she can only do a cleaning and is otherwise not taking any patients. Seems as if she needs help or something. A few times when I have called receptionist has been rude.

Dr. Southern was recommended to me by a highly respected specialist in another town. This recommendation was, and still is, greatly appreciated.
A fine staff has taken care of all the business aspects. The facility is spacious and immaculate in every way. Dr. Southern and her assistants are second to none. This entire team brings personality, humor, friendliness, efficiency, and serious professionalism together to create the finest dental operation I have ever seen. This is not a paid commercial ad. I am a person who appreciates up-to-date technology, down-home atmosphere, accomodating service

She is the best dentist I have been to in such a long time. I don't think I will be switching anytime soon. She keeps me well informed and is very thorough about everything.
