It's sort of our practice "golden rule." You see, our doctor, Dr. Frank May, believes that in this day and age, with all the great techniques and equipment available, there is no reason that anyone should ever have a painful experience at the dentist. In fact, if you ask him, he'll tell you that "pain in a dental office is obsolete."

And, he backs it up with the most gentle and up-to-date anesthesia techniques, so you don't feel a thing. Plus, he makes use of advanced equipment like air abrasion that often allows for comfortable fillings without the need for drilling anesthesia at all.

But more importantly, Dr. May always listens. He takes the time to hear your concerns and explains his care before he does anything - and always moves at your pace to ensure your comfort. All with the goal of making sure that you leave with a smile on your face.

Frank D. May, DMD

"When people ask me why I became a dentist, the answer is simple. I like to see people smile. I'll always do whatever I can to make your dental care gentle and pain free...because the health of your smile is too important to be lost just because you're afraid to see a dentist."

"I want dental care to be something people want to do. I've developed my practice to offer 'World-Class' care. And I continue to study the latest in dental procedures to ensure you'll always have a positive experience when you're under my care. My goal is that everyone leaves the office with a smile on their face."
