I just had my teeth cleaned by Cande at smile connections. First off I myself was in dentistry for 40 years. I know how important a good hygienist is to a practice. You will see your hygienist more often than the dentist. That person must have a lot of knowledge and trust with the dentist. I know Dr. Volker has high standards so I know his hygienist will also have the same high standards. Cande has been with the practice for about 18 years. That says a lot. They spend time going to classes to keep up on the latest in dentistry. She truly loves what she does and it shows. I can highly recommend her as she truly cares about your oral health and how it can affect the rest of your body.
I have seen Dr. Volker at Smile Connections for a number of years. Both of my adult sons also see him. I am extremely impressed with the quality of Dr. Volker’s work, and he clearly demonstrates empathy for his patients. On top of that, his office staff and assistants are top-notch. I recently had two crowns plus a routine cleaning, all done in one morning. I had virtually zero pain! I cannot give Dr. Volker and Smile Connections enough praise. If you’re looking for a dentist, you won’t find a better practice anywhere else.
