I went to Apex Dental as a new patient. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I was very happy to complete the New Patient Form on line. It was easy and efficient to do this on my own time instead of at the office. My dental hygienist was Michelle and she did a great job! She was thorough, efficient and painless cleaning my teeth. My teeth were cleaned and polished in about an hour. I highly recommend Apex Dental. I will definitely be back for all of my dental needs.

This has been one of the best dental experiences I’ve ever had, and I’m saying this after TWO fillings! Receptionist=fantastic. Hygienists=so sweet. Dr. Dutton= wonderful. I am a very nervous patient for dentists and I honestly can’t speak highly enough for them. And they’re extremely open about their costs, which, by the way, are so reasonable. It was my first dentist appointment in 8 years and I’m so glad I chose Apex!

I needed an emergency extraction and Missy and Dr. E got me in at the very last minute. The whole office was incredibly kind and went out of their way to accommodate me. I can’t thank them enough for the care I received today! Highly recommend.

Today, I had my routine teeth cleaning but my visit was more than routine. My last teeth cleaning wasn’t performed by my regular dental hygienist and when I asked to have stains removed from my teeth at that visit, I left with stained teeth. That was NOT my experience today. Today, I saw Michelle and my stains were removed! Michelle also gave me advice on something I use to season my food with that could be the reason for me having recently having staining issues with my teeth. THANK YOU Michelle, for sharing and for being the perfectionist you are, because my stains are history. Thanks for other practical information you shared with me today to help me keep my teeth healthy!
Dr. English, thanks for educating me on the importance of having panoramic x-rays every three years. I learned a lot from this visit today. An ounce of prevention is truly worth more than a pound of cure. Thanks for providing excellent care and patient education today!

I have severe dental anxiety. Dr Dutton and his staff have made me so comfortable having anything done inside my mouth. The care, professionalism, candor, and tenderness is exactly what I needed for reentry to my dental care. They also made my kids super comfortable as well. Highly recommend using them for your dental work and maintenance.

Dr English and the entire Apex staff were kind, personal, welcoming and professional. My hygienist was respectful of me expressing my very sensitive mouth, after the cleaning Dr English sat with me to determine not only what I needed but also what I felt like I needed. I felt like a real person not a number THANK YOU Apex for showing there are still Dentist and staff that truly care about their patients.

I needed an emergency appointment a few years ago and Apex got me in right away when my current dentist could not. I definitely switched to Apex after that experience. My daughter needed an appointment yesterday and Apex got her in the next day at the new location. Highly recommend both Dr. English and Dr. Dutton!

I have been treated by Apex for over a year and wanted to wait a bit on a review. This is a great dentist and dental office. They're always on time friendly and he can do more than most dentists with the state of art equipment he has at his office. He did an extraction in his office saving me a lot of money if I had gone to a Maxillofacial surgeon. I have had several crowns and in process of an implant, no rework and no problems to date. Again, no waiting. And did I say the staff is friendly its a positive environment.

I love this dentist office!! I have always been super anxious about the dentist and always dreaded when it was time to go. They made me feel so comfortable and Dr. English was wonderful at making sure I was ok through every step or procedure I have had to have done. I would highly recommend them!

I was in need of major dental work and decided to use Dr.English biased on reviews I found on line. My family needed a dental provider as well but I wanted to wait to see how my experience was before scheduling for family members. Dr. English and staff were warm and welcoming and answered any questions I had. Most importantly no wait and was in and out in no time. We have found our new dental home.

Well all dentists are not the same. The office is very pleasant and despite 2 days of deep cleaning I give a good review bc the young lady was the best hygienist Ive ever had. My teeth were clean and the pain was minimal considering I went 5 years afraid bc of past experience with other dentists. This is the first time I can say Im glad I went to the dentist. I really felt like she cared and I definitely appreciate her not hurting me while going deep.

I was a little nervous about visiting Apex Dental because I’ve been going to the same dentist office my whole life. Dr. English and his whole staff was so friendly. Special shoutout to Olivia for taking care of me and making going to dentist such a fun and incredible experience! She is great and such an amazing assistant! Spending a hour there in the office on birthday will be a birthday I’ll never forget!

Dr. English did a root canal for me a couple of weeks ago. Although a dental procedure is obviously not the most pleasant experience, he and his staff made me feel comfortable and helped calm my nerves. He was extremely thorough with great attention to detail, and he was not rushed at all, he took all the time he needed to do the job as perfectly as it could be done. The technology they have at the office is top of the line, and after only a few days they received my permanent crown and I was able to have it put on during my lunch break. I loved that I did not have to wait in the waiting room on either visit. I highly recommend this business and I am returning next week to begin annual cleanings!

Had two crowns put on and everything went very smooth. There was no pain and all the personnel were great. Dr English very easy to talk to. Went back for cleaning today and it was a great experience. Will send friends and relatives. I know I do not see them but a couple of times or so a year but it always feels like family when I go. Everyone is so nice and kind. Great atmosphere.

Ashley, Stacey and Dr. English (as well as all of the staff) are very personable and professional! I was in and out of my initial cleaning appnt, including x-rays and scheduling, with a cost estimate for expected work to be done, in a little over an hour! My son has been a patient for 3 years and I am happy I have moved my services there also! I highly recommend Apex Dental!

I called Dr. English when I chipped a front tooth. He immediately put me at ease. The repair was done beautifully and without pain. His staff was friendly, attentive, and so patient with me! I am transferring my children from the provider they have had for ten years to Apex Dental. This level of patient care is phenomenal and priceless. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Apex Dental is a first-class dental practice. Dr. English is very personable and this radiates throughout the entire office from the hygienists to the office staff. One of the perks of this office is that Dr. English does everything right on site. I've had to visit other specialized dentists in the past for things such a root canal, etc. with other general practitioners. I had back tooth extracted and Dr. English completed an implant for me with just as much ease as a regular six month cleaning. I would highly recommend this office to anyone in the area!

When to Call APEX Dental

You Have Tooth Pain That Won’t Go Away
Persistent tooth pain may signal decay, infection, or nerve irritation. Left untreated, it can lead to more serious dental issues. A visit to your dentist ensures proper diagnosis and relief.
You Have Bleeding When You Brush or Floss
If your gums bleed during daily brushing or flossing, it may indicate inflammation or early-stage gum disease. Timely evaluation helps reverse the problem before it becomes severe.
You’ve Missed Your Regular Cleaning
Skipping your scheduled dental cleaning can allow plaque buildup, which may lead to gum disease and cavities. Regular visits help maintain a healthy mouth and catch issues early.
Your Crown or Filling Is Loose
A loose crown or filling exposes your tooth to bacteria, sensitivity, and damage. Prompt repair protects your tooth’s structure and prevents more invasive treatment down the line.
You’re Experiencing Jaw Pain or Clicking
Clicking, stiffness, or pain in your jaw could be signs of TMJ issues or joint dysfunction. A dentist can assess the cause and offer relief through proper therapy or appliances.
You’ve Noticed Receding Gums
Gum recession exposes tooth roots and increases sensitivity and risk of decay. Early intervention can prevent further tissue loss and protect your smile’s foundation.
You’re Grinding Your Teeth at Night
Nighttime grinding wears down enamel, causes jaw soreness, and may lead to cracked teeth. A custom-fitted night guard can reduce damage and improve comfort while you sleep.

I've been going to Dr English for about 8 years now. I trust him implicitly with my teeth where I have several dental issues from years of health problems and don't trust just anyone working in my mouth. His work is excellent, and his staff have always been quite pleasant and professional.

After my first visit with Dr. English I now have a very positive outlook on my dental care. His bedside manner cannot be beat. The hygienist was knowledgeable and kind. She kept me updated on everything that was about to happen. From the moment I walked in, the experience was positive.
