Dr Way and Sydney (Hygienist) are the best team I've ever had for dental care. Dr Way is a real teeth artist, and his work is the most painless care I've ever had. He always takes the time to explain what my care plan is and helps me understand all of my options. He also is very understanding of, and patient with, my anxiety about dental work. Sydney's gentle, confident, and informative approach is a real treat. Occasionally I have had hygienists that forget that the teeth they work with are attached to a human, and they work more like a mechanic servicing a car engine. This is nuanced and hard to describe, but is a very real difference.

Hi!! Today, October 15, 2026. I would give Trinity a 10 out of 10! This was my 2nd time visiting this clinic, and Trinity is the third dental hygienist who has done my cleaning She was incredibly kind, smart, and knowledgeable thorough, and professional. What I appreciated most was that she explained everything to me before doing anything. She made sure I knew what was happening at every step, which made me feel comfortable and at ease. I really appreciate her care and attention to detail. Thank you, Trinity, for making my experience such a positive one! I would definitely recommend her. 10/10!
I’ve been going to Lovejoy Dental for years, and have always been pleased with the service and skill. Today was no different. Dr. Way deftly dentaled me with his usual high skill and friendly demeanor, as Stephanie did the same with her job. Love this place!
It's a joy to go here! I absolutely adore Hannah, my hygienist! The office is very clean and modern. Spa like and relaxing. I don't use dental insurance and they are always super open about the cost of services.
This is the BEST dental facility ever! Dr. Young is amazing with cosmetic procedures, extremely skilled and talented. He is also compassionate and really cares about you as a patient. Mandy is my favorite hygienist I’ve ever had in my life. She is very gentile with my cosmetic cleanings and makes me feel comfortable throughout our visit. Feels like visiting with a friend. I will come back for twice a year cleanings even when I move out of state. 🩷😁
