"On Sunday evening, I managed to break off part of an old crown in a molar. The next morning, I called Dove Dental and was informed that all the dentists were on vacation for the week (4th of July week), but the staff managed to reach Dr. Dove at home, and he agreed to meet me at their office within the hour. He went straight to work repairing the tooth and making a new crown. He and his staff went above and beyond my expectations to handle the untimely emergency, and I could not be more grateful or thankful for their assistance and professionalism."
