Christine Tenaglia will be our dentist forever!!! Amazing with our son and worked with us when it came to questions and concerns that we had for repairing my 7 year old sons teeth. My son did not have to be under anesthesia or gas, she was able to work with him to complete his dental work and we were able too be there. I will recommend her to everyone!

Intimate and unique experience. Medical/dental offices these days tend to lean toward high turnover and ultimately a less than authentic feel. Christine and her team take the opposite approach. From addressing us by our names right as we walked in the door, to the guided tour, to getting to know the doctor, to their expert recommendations, my husband and I were thoroughly impressed during our first appt and would recommend them in a heartbeat. Thanks ladies!

Christine Tenaglia and her staff made me feel so welcome. Their place of business is friendly, clean, nicely decorated and very user friendly by clients, I felt. They explained what they were doing in terms I could understand. For a dentist visit, it was very pleasant.

Dr. Tenaglia's dental practice is very professional and customer oriented. She always makes you feel welcome as a patient. The rest of the staff are always very friendly and helpful. After years of going to subpar dental offices, coming here was an amazing step up. Dr. Tenaglia does great work and always makes sure you are comfortable and informs you of what the procedure entails. I became so depressed about going to the dentist, because I was going to offices where they didn't care about their patients and were shockingly inexperienced. That's why going to Dr. Tenaglia's office was such a positive change for me and restored my faith in dentists in general. She also always has very elaborate and fancy decorations for the holidays, and the dental office has a very cozy and clean atmosphere. Would definitely recommend becoming a patient here.

Cosmetic dentistry consists of procedures that aren’t always necessary but provide a revitalized appearance to your smile. Some procedures, like Orthodontics and Invisalign, can improve the overall function of your mouth. It also includes crowns, implants, veneers, and whitening.
