I can’t say enough great things about Dr Hyatt and his staff after spending a year with them getting my locking jaw issue corrected. It was a time consuming process that required many appointments but in the end it was worth it because my jaw does not lock up anymore and surgery was my only other option. Thank you Dr Hyatt and Staff!!

This place is great. Dr. Hyatt and his wonderful staff fixed my TMJD issues in just a few short months. I was suffering intensely before I was referred to them by my regular dentist who couldn’t solve my problem. Dr. Hyatt fixed my issues without surgery or pain medication. I highly recommend this Dentist and his staff.

Exceptional, remarkable, outstanding, and the most to me a life changer. Dr. Hyatt changed my life. This man’s profession is just important as a Cardiologist, Neurologist, or even an Oncologist. Why is that you may ask? Here is a back story of my battle with TMJ and constant grinding away of my teeth. Teenage years approached me. Somewhere along the way I began clinching my jaw. My Mother kept telling me to take care of my teeth. Beware of when I clinched and to stop doing it. I remember her telling me many times “you are clinching your jaw; you are grinding your teeth away”. My dentist started

They all were extremely personable and helpful. Anytime I needed something or had a change in symptoms, I could call and seek the help I needed quickly.
I highly recommend Dr. Hyatt for any and all TMJ/TMD needs.

I have been going to see Dr Hyatt for over 30 years. His knowledge and dedication to his work are the reasons I still have my teeth. He has done many gum graphs, a bone graph and numerous cleanings and always wonderful results. His staff are as dedicated to dental health as he is. On a personal level, I enjoy my office visits. I go three times a year and it's like visiting friends.

I recently had gum grafts done by Dr. Hyatt. He, Shannon, and the entire staff are the most friendly and caring group I have encountered. They were so gentle during the procedure that I actually dozed off! They are extremely supportive and go above and beyond with post op care. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Hyatt and his staff!

I ignored the fact I needed gum grafts for several years. When I finally made an appointment with Dr. Hyatt, I found out I needed grafts on 15 teeth. After hearing horror stories about grafts, i was very apprehensive about having this done. However, After the surgery was completed and after following all the instructions given me by Dr. Hyatt and his staff, I found my worries were exaggerated. Other than some minor discomfort, this was a breeze. I highly recommend this doctor.
