Dr. Dongieux has been our dentist for 10 years. He was recommended to us by a co-worker. My husband had terrible experiences with his dentist when he was a little boy. As he grew up, he had extreme anxiety about dental work and so he never went to the dentist. Dr. Dongieux understood my husband's anxiety, and has provided us with a pain-free, low stress dental environment ever since. Also, several of my past dentists wanted to pull my 2 front teeth due to short roots and a cracked tooth, but Dr. Dongieux decided to try to strengthen the roots by improoving my bite. After a year, he just replaced a cap. Now my smile is nicer than it has been in 40 years, and I still have my own teeth! In my opinion, Dr. Dongieux is not only extremely competent, but he is also sensitive, creative, and innovative.
