Having a bright healthy smile does more than just enhance appearance, it breeds new-found confidence. Restorative dentistry fixes any problems you may have with your teeth, gum tissues, jaw, and bone structure.

Oh my gosh, Tanasbourne Dental Care is amazing! I went in today for a new patient appointment and just had a wonderful experience. For starters, I felt so safe going there! From the minute I arrived, I could tell they put a lot of time and effort into keeping the dental office safe for their patients and staff. For example, they check your temperature and have you sanitize upon entering, have 4-stage air purifiers in every room, and I even heard that they installed a new air scrubber in the HVAC system so all the air being circulated has been sanitized! Secondly, the hygienist I saw was extremely kind, professional, knowledgeable, and thorough.
I had a couple sensitive spots in my mouth and she even offered to apply a topical solution to the areas before cleaning my teeth so that I didn't have to experience any discomfort throughout the entire visit. Lastly, Doctor Trotman is amazing! She is super friendly, knowledgeable, insightful, and skilled at her job. She even took the time to give me really helpful advice for how I can keep my teeth healthy and beautiful looking. Overall, I am just super impressed with this dental office. I would 100% recommend them to anyone wanting safe, compassionate, and effective dental care.

I have been going here for so long I can't imagine going anywhere else. Dr Jenkins is always super attentive and wants to make sure that everything is right to what you want and expect before you leave. The staff is always so very friendly and make you feel comfortable even though going to the dentist is not usually high on my list for a fun day. Definitely a wonderful place.

I felt comfortable from the beginning with their protocols with Covid. I had my temp taken at the beginning. There was lots of care taken for my safety. Their staff was very friendly and did a great job. I was a new patient and had a very positive experience. Definitely will be back for all of my future dental needs.

I am a new patient at Tanasbourne Dental Care. What a fantastic family dental practice! The staff is very friendly and the waiting area is very warm and inviting. I have never really had a bad experience at the dentist, but this place is TRULY EXCEPTIONAL! Going to the dentist is easy for me but can be difficult for some. However, I was put at ease with clear explanations of the next steps throughout the procedures and was continuously checked on to make sure I was comfortable. Dr. Jenkins was very thorough and genuinely cares about the well being of his patients. His care reflects throughout the office with a warm and caring culture. I highly recommend this place and am now a patient for life.

I have a fear of dentists. Everyone here is fantastic! They take the time to explain procedures and check on how I'm doing frequently. I am very comfortable with everyone now. They identify a treatment plan and work with you on completing it at a pace you are comfortable with. I have not felt pressured to do anything I didn't want to do.

Very clean and professional environment. The staff was extremely friendly and personable. They took the time to explain everything they did and made recommendations as we moved through the checkup and cleaning. I'm not a fan of getting any dental work done but I will be happily going back to see them in the future.

Dr. Jenkins is an exceptionally fine dentist. Our family has been with them for ten years and we're very pleased with their expertise and knowledge, their availability, the friendly demeanor of the clinic staff and the high tech comforts of their clinic. They are especially good with pain management and very sensitive to patient needs. They are kind, forthright, honest and very, very good at what they do.

When I moved to the area my wife and I both went to this dentist. I have sleep apnea and before I got it treated I used to grind my teeth in my sleep. My previous dentist was actually the one who diagnosed it. Anyway, I went to this dentist and he tried to tell me that I needed to get Crowns on ALL eight of my frontal teeth. He presented me with a treatment plan that wouldve cost me over five thousand dollars.
But that's not all. When my wife went in to see him, she got the exact same thing: you've been grinding your teeth? You need crowns on all of them. We went to another dentist, who then did not recommend any treatment like this, nor did my previous dentist before this. Apparently this guy is really desperate for cash right now and felt the need to try to suck thousands of dollars out of his patients. (The hygenist I had was very good an friendly however).
