Dr. Whatton is a very competent dentist with a quiet, pleasing manner. He and his assistants work very diligently to provide as good dental care as possible. They take a holistic approach (BP, etc.) rather than just focus on the teeth.
Dr. Whatton takes a conservative approach and does not recommend anything he feels is unnecessary. He and his staff listen attentively and do their best to provide all the information the patient needs.
I have not compared his costs to competitors, but I believe they are reasonable. Since I no longer have dental insurance, he says X-rays every 18 months is sufficient, given the state of my teeth. He helped me to evaluate the cost of private insurance vs. total out-of-pocket payments.
The atmosphere in the office is very relaxed and stress-free. Dr. Whatton is one of the top two dentists I've ever had (and both have been former Army dentists... hmmm).
