I can't tell you how comfortable this place is. From the minute you call to make an appointment, they are the most accommodating, comforting staff I have ever encountered. They make going to the dentist easy. High Tech, not pushy, they provide you with the facts in such a clear way that you are allowed to make your own decisions without any pressure. Quick to respond in emergencies, and great with long term care. The office is bright, clean and so efficient. I highly recommend the team here!

Fantastic dental team! Lovely office, fun/relaxing videos play over you during treatments, very professional, straightforward and don’t over diagnose etc
This is the best dental office I’ve ever been to. I had to get a deep cleaning because I’ve been slacking on keeping up with my appointments. I found Miswak and now I can’t wait to go back. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. Brie did a wonderful job with my deep cleaning and walked me through the entire process. The televisions on the ceiling is a great touch to keep you occupied through the process of a cleaning. 10/10 I will be a patient for years and years to come.
Miswak is truly one of the best dentistry practices in the city! They are always professional, gentle, thorough and you can tell they hold the office to the highest standards. Ben, Shauna, Brie, Dr. Riyal and everyone else I've ever encountered at Miswak have been nothing but kind and welcoming. Go to Miswak for your dental needs!
I recently moved to the neighborhood and needed to find a new dentist. I was able to get a new patient appointment very quickly. It’s obvious that customer service is a top priority for this office. Each person was more pleasant than the last. Highly recommend.
