Report
This dental office is a gem. The attention to detail was great. The complete staff was extremely nice and helpful. My favorite was Jess who actually took care of my dental needs. She was awesome. I'm very uncomfortable going to the hospital or any Dr office. Jess had me so relaxed throughout the process. She was very informative, patient and her work was outstanding. Dr Bhasin was great also . This practice is a total reflection of her. Kudos to Lifetime Smile!

During my appointment Dr. Bhasin was communicative about each step of the process, continuously checking in to make sure i was doing okay. This was my first time here and will definitely be returning. I left the office very happy with my new smile!
