Professional Friendly staff, appointments are always on time. I don’t know anyone that actually enjoys getting their teeth cleaned. So far one of the best hygienist I’ve gone to over the years.

I had my first appointment for evaluation for restorative improvements and was so comfortable there. The staff was great. I had a very thorough exam and X-rays and never felt rushed. Dr. Fugate answered all of my questions and invited me to contact office for other concerns. I believe I may have found my new dentist!

B. P. (Verified Patient)

Over the weekend, I chipped a front tooth that also had a burr. The staff got me in right away, and Dr Fugate fixed the problem and had me out the door swiftly and hassle free. Vonore Dental has always been a pleasant experience.

Laurie Myers here... Always a good visit! 😆Teeth cleaning went well! Sad news that I need an implant. Getting old sucks.😕 Laurie Myers New update...Hannah took good care of my Xrays & teeth cleaning! 😁No problems found that she could see. Dr.Fugate will have a look at the new Xrays & if need be come in to see him.😀 Laurie Myers New update…Hannah took great care of me & commented that I’m taking good care of my teeth.😁 I needed X-rays & sadly, Dr. Fugate found that I have two upper crowns, one very old & the other 12 years old, that have to be pulled, issues taken care of & crown replaced. Like I said before, getting older is sometimes not fun. But this find is necessary. We all need to take good care of our teeth!😬

Crowns while you wait. Very professional. Great staff. Just had another visit to crown my new implant. Great digital impression and installation was pretty seamless. Another great visit for an oral hygiene appointment and X-rays. All good. Typical professional friendly competent service. Also followed up on the crowns of 2 new implants done in September. Great to have all my teeth problem free. Be back in February to replace 2 old old crowns (while I wait of course). Cannot do any better!! Typically good oral hygiene appointment with Emily. On time into the chair. Initial inspection and explained how I can do a better job of brushing. Measured my pockets and did a thorough cleaning. Friendly and professional as always. 5 star as always.
