Why is it Important to Find a Dentist Near You?

It is important to find a dentist near you for many reasons:

When you have a dental emergency, you want to be able to get to the dentist quickly.
If you have a regular dentist that you see for checkups and cleanings, they will be more familiar with your teeth and mouth and will be able to spot problems easily.
If you build up a relationship with a local dentist, they will be able to provide you with the best care tailored specifically to your needs.

What Are the Benefits of Visiting a Dentist Regularly?

There are many benefits to visiting a dentist regularly. Regular dental visits can help prevent serious issues like tooth decay and gum disease. Additionally, regularly seeing a dentist can help catch smaller problems before they become bigger ones. Finally, visiting the dentist can also help you get to know your dentist and build a relationship of trust.

How Can Hill Avenue Dental Help You Achieve the Perfect Smile?

At Hill Avenue Dental, we are committed to helping you achieve the perfect smile. We offer a range of services, including

Comprehensive Dental Exams

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you visit the dentist for a checkup and cleaning at least once every six months. We will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums at your appointment to look for any signs of tooth decay or gum disease.

Professional Teeth Cleanings

We will also perform a gentle cleaning, removing plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing cannot.

Dental X-Rays

Dental x-rays are an essential part of your dental exam, as they allow us to spot problems that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Fillings

If we find a cavity, we can treat it quickly and effectively with a filling.

Tooth Extractions

In some cases, we may recommend tooth extraction to help prevent further damage to your teeth or mouth.

Root Canals

A root canal is a therapeutic procedure that is used to treat an infected tooth. We will carefully remove the damaged pulp, clean out the inside of your tooth, and then seal it to prevent further infection.

Dental Crowns

If you have a tooth that is cracked or damaged, we may recommend a dental crown to restore its appearance and function.

Dental Bridges

If you are missing one or more teeth, we can create a dental bridge to fill the gap in your smile.

See why our patients love us

Hill Avenue Dental was where I went 5 years ago when I lived here and only stopped because I had to move. I was visiting family here when I needed a dentist and called them. They got me in right away and solved my problem quickly. Dr. Dotson is excellent and I haven't found a dentist yet that I trust more than him for all my dental needs.

Dr. Hartzell is the most professional and efficient dentist that I have had work on my teeth. I am a 76 year old patient, so I have had several dentist. When I have had a problem I have been able to get in quickly. For example I chipped a took and called to get an appointment at 1:15 pm and was in the dentist chair at 2:10 and teeth (ended up having 2 teeth repaired and fixed in less than 30 minutes.

Dr Dotson was friendly and asked lots of questions to be sure he understood my concerns. After living in another town and having the same dentist for 20 yrs, I was afraid to try a new dentist. However Dr Dotson gave me confidence after speaking to him and the work he did on my front teeth was equally superior.

Great service. They fit me in last minute and we're very kind and listened to me and my concerns. The front desk clerk that sits to the right of the desk was kind of abrupt and rude. The rest of the staff were great.

I absolutely love having Dr. Hartzell as our dentist! She is so kind and is beyond great with my kids also! The whole office is amazing and every hygienist I’ve seen has been so wonderful! It’s a great experience every time!

Have been going to Dr. Hartzel for a number of years. I can't say enough good things about her & her staff. I saw Dr Dotson once & found him to be as efficient & friendly as Dr Hartzel. I would never consider going anywhere else for my dental care & I highly recommend this clinic.
