I am very pleased with the work that was done. Dr. Claiborne and his assistant were excellent. They explained everything that was going to happen. It was a pain-free experience and I have a new tooth that looks wonderful. Thank you so much.!

Vicky Edwards

Dr Claiborne is a constant professional. When you enter his office his staff is friendly and puts you at ease. I had to have dental implants and was very afraid. But every step was painless. He was kind and patient with me. I cannot recommend Dr Claiborne enough.
