After my original dentist closed and didn’t let me know that I’d have to find a new dentist, my mom suggested (after a year of the dentist closing) South Mountain Family Dental. They were really nice and said it wasn’t my fault that my teeth were not in the best shape. I had extensive gum cleaning done and so far it’s getting better. I appreciate them actually caring about their patients and giving advice that is very useful. The staff is friendly and kind. Looking forward to my next appointment.

South Mountain Family Dental is where its at! The staff is super friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. They are very transparent in every way. Dr. Dickerson is the one one that i have had help me with all of my procedures and I put all of my trust in him. I recently dealt with another doctor that also works in the office for the first time (I can't remember his name though, sorry!) But he made me feel I can put all of my trust in him as well. He has helped my girlfriend more though and she is very satisfied. If you are not currently coming to South Family Dental for care, then I know for a fact your teeth have not received proper treatment anywhere else.

Just got back from my first visit here and am very thankful to have discovered this place.

I needed a new dentist that worked well with my insurance and didnt feel like a mill.

This place was very professional, extremely clean, my hygienist was very comforting and knowledgeable, they had the latest tech and experience to get great treatment plans together and they were affordable.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a friendly family dental office =)
