We've gone twice a year for cleanings (me and my three boys). We've had small fillings done, I've had a crown and a couple tooth extractions. I need a bridge, but haven't been able to afford it yet. I would recommend Dr. Arnold in a heartbeat! When I first found him, I was looking for a small office, a situation like I had when I was a kid - NOT a doc-in-the-box dentist. Had tried one of those and it was a nightmare. Just don't like the huge office with multiple rooms where the dentists forget you're there or treat you like a cattle call. His office is perfect - Dr. Arnold and his secretary/receptionist Kim. Dr. Arnold does ALL the procedures from initial exam and cleaning to anything more involved. He stays current on new technology and procedures, but doesn't offer the use of nitrous-oxide (I hate the stuff and this was a deciding factor as some dentists really push it on you and I hate it!). He's the real deal, a very knowledgeable dentist and my kids have never been afraid to go, which says a LOT!

About Hygienist: Dr. Arnold does everything. Doesn't have a Hygienist. His cleanings take 45 minutes to an hour for adults (depending on tartar build-up) and about 30 minutes for kids. This includes Xrays. In all the years we've been going to him, we have NEVER had to wait more than 5 minutes. He knows his schedule and stays on time. NEVER have had this with an medical professional. They are closed on Fridays... and prefer cash or checks. If you opt to use a credit card, they charge you the service charge the bank charges them - small office and it;s their way to keep down the overhead.

I know this doctor: At least 7 years - can
