Why People Love Central Dental

Melody O.
I had my first appointment with Dr.Larkin at Central Dental and I am truly blown away by the entire experience. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt welcomed and at ease. The customer service was exceptional everyone was kind, attentive, and professional, but Dr.Larkin himself is a rare gem. His skill, warmth, and charisma shine through in everything he does.
Sean A.
Highly recommend Dr. Larkin! I had a dental emergency when visiting family in Phoenix. Cracked tooth that required a crown. Dr. Larkin came in after hours and rushed my final crown/cap from the lab so I could have it before I left. Cherry on top is that he gave me the X-rays he took so that I could take them back to my dentist in California. Really appreciate all he did for a patient who wasn’t one of his regulars. Shows a lot about his character!

My experience with Dr. Larkin was a positive one. He made sure the experience was seamless and comfortable, which is unusual for me since I abhor going to the dentist! He was gentle and explained everything he was doing which gave me clarity and put me at ease.
Dom A.
Dr. Larkin is awesome. Super professional, easy to talk to, and somehow makes going to the dentist feel like no big deal (which is saying a lot). The whole team is friendly and welcoming, and the office runs like a well-oiled machine. Dr. Larkin took the time to explain what was going on and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. My teeth have literally never looked or felt better. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m actually looking forward to my next visit.
