I took my 2 & 4 yr olds in for extensive work. The staff was so supportive as I was a total wreck. They did everything they could to make the experience "pain-free". Dr. Powell was wonderful. He has a great demeanor with both the parents and the kids and was very supportive. Like I said, both of my children had extensive work and they both still want to go to the dentist. I'm not sure if it is pricey or cheap because I didn't shop prices. I would definitely recommend Dr. Powell.
