Ellington Says It Best

4.8 Star Average Google Rating

Today I went to Zahner Dental to get 2 crowns it was the best experience I've ever had at a dentist. So professional and outstanding work my crowns were done all in one day and they look beautiful. From Dr. SEAN to the staff there the most kind caring people you could go to."

Always a pleasant experience at Zahner Dental. Personal, professional and courteous. Love the family-like atmosphere. My recent visits were with Dr. Jon, Beka and Carole. They are great."

Arlo H.

Best decision we ever made was to leave another local dentist's office and come to Zahner! The staff is super nice, and the offices and rooms are a 10/10 for layout and cleanliness. They work fast and efficiently, but don't make you feel like they are rushing you out of there (unlike some other medical offices)! 10/10 would recommend!"
