Why is preventive dental care important?

Preventive dental cleanings, also known as prophylactic cleanings, are the procedures you likely think of when you’re reminded of the dentist. They’re routine cleanings for patients with healthy gums. The American Dental Association recommends two cleanings per year for most patients. This gives our team a chance to remove plaque and tartar build up, so your smile can stay healthy and beautiful for longer.

Great Dentist office! They got me in for an emergency right away! Everyone there was super friendly and helpful! Would recommend this place to anyone!

Micah L.

I had the best experience ever. The whole office is friendly and helpful. I was nervous but they quickly made me feel comfortable. I’m looking forward to my next visit. A big thank you to everyone for their patience and professional expertise!

I could not have asked for a nicer experience. I have a new patient exam and cleaning scheduled for later next month, but I needed in for an urgent matter. They fit me in their schedule and every person I spoke with was so nice and kind. Dr Epperson was extremely thorough and explained everything with me until I understood fully. Mind you, HE fit me in HIS busy schedule. I never felt rushed or lesser than. My scheduled visit will be with Dr. Jordan Payne and I know 1000% his care will be exceptional because of the environment all of their staff has made the workplace. I made the right choice finding my new dental office home!

Dr. Jordan Payne has an excellent way with his patients. He is calming, thorough and reassuring. The whole staff was very polite and accommodating from the very start. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone to take advantage of this excellent service for any dental needs.

Great dentist office. I had an implant fail and they were able to work me in even though I was not an established patient. I may not have been their patient when I went to see them but I am now!

Renea H.

This is the best dental office I’ve ever been to. My husband and myself have been visiting for a few months now. This past week our son had an issue and they were able to get him within hours of me calling. The ladies at the front desk welcome you with a smile and nothing short of absolute kindness. Dr. Payne is so kind and very thorough with explaining things and working through the issue.

If you have any dental anxiety, as I have, this is definitely the office to go to.

The Epperson Payne Group was nothing short of amazing from start to finish. I can truly say that each staff member went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. I looked forward to going into the office for each step of my procedure to see and visit with all the friendly and authentic personnel. Dr. Epperson was kind, patient, meticulous, witty and a great conversationalist. He is an OUTSTANDING dentist and has created an incredible work environment. I cannot thank this team enough for giving me my smile back!
