"Took my 4 week old son to get looked at for lip and tongue ties, and the dentist was so knowledgeable about the problems she was seeing in him. All of the staff was so accommodating to us and our needs. They had a separate room to have him in that was perfect for feeding him afterwards. Very clean and nice place. Highly recommend for any tongue or lip releases."

Excellent staff and service. Would highly recommend for any of your dental needs

Omg Exceptional Dentistry is just that “EXCEPTIONAL “.The entire appointment was professional and caring… I went to their bathroom and it smelled inviting. The fragrance was calming and home-like. Not a $250,000 town home type smell! This smell was definitely upper echelon like a $750,000 gated community smell! The hygienist was professional and communicated each procedure that was done. My dentist entered the room and from the beginning she was engaging, patient, smart and honest. My teeth was prepped by another dentist several months ago. This dentist removed my from tooth and shave down a tooth to left and right of the missing toothe for a bridge. My insurance paid the entire procedure except for $500. Her receptionist told me my bridge had arrived and to come right away. Well at that time I did not have the $500 but I was certain she would set up a payment plan or just took me at my word that I was going to pay the balance next payday. Well to make long story short she refused to put the bridge in. And told me to my face that the bridge did not come in! She held my bridge for ransom and said when I get the $500 I can have the bridge. At that point, I told her to return all the money Delta Dental gave her for my procedure because I will never do business with her again nor will my sister who referred me. Also, word of mouth goes a long way. My appearance means everything to me so I was devastated to have to look into my wife’s eyes each time she had to look at me with no tooth in the front and two shaved teeth! Well that negative turned into a positive yesterday because Exceptional Dentistry is now my new dental home…

We had an amazing experience with Dr. Kristen Berning!! Our 2 month old daughter had a lip tie, tongue tie and cheek (buccal) tie. She was struggling with nursing and eating from a bottle too. She was not gaining weight like she should have been. Our baby girl was gone from us for the laser procedure for less than 5 minutes! She wasn’t even really fussy afterwards! We HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kristen for correcting oral ties!!

Fixed my TMJ ending years of pain. Chose Exceptional Dentistry for the whole family.

Got me in early. Very friendly.

Highly skilled, exceptional personalities, overall top notch experience

The staff and dentist really listen to your concerns and explain everything well. They ensure you are comfortable with what they did before you leave and that you understand all care instructions explicitly. I even received a call from the dentist the day after the procedure to ensure all was going well.

They were very nice and took good care of me while I was there. Very professional!


Very little waiting - they are great about getting you in and out quickly! Friendly staff, nice office, easy location. They’ve always done a good job for me and my husband. I’ve recommended them to friends and family and all have been happy with Exceptional Dentistry.

I’ve been going for check ups/cleanings several years. Had some other dental work done and the information and service is excellent.
Everyone at the office is so friendly and helpful! I get very sensory defensive and anxious and they are always so sensitive to that and constantly doing things to make it easier for me. Even their desk staff is amazing, making sure you completely understand the charges and insurance and all that. Highly recommend!!
Thank you for the outstanding care you have given me and my family. I believe that you truly saved my teeth and my smile with the restorative work that you did. I can't say enough about how confident Eric and I are in our smiles. That confidence spills over to many other areas of our lives.

This is the friendliest, most comfortable dentist office and dental experience I’ve ever had. I went there at the recommendation of my wife, also a patient there. I highly recommend this office to others.
I completely trust the entire Exceptional Dentistry staff to perform any dental work I need done. This office is responsible for curing my absolute fear of dental offices. I no longer dread or delay work that needs to be done. They staff service and skill is evident in every aspect of the practice.
Wonderful, personalized dentistry-- no one even comes close to the extraordinary care that we receive at Exceptional Dentistry!
I love the outstanding sweet receptionist, professional quality hygienists and #1 dentists... EVERYONE greets me with a warm smile and kindness! I enjoy going to the dentist, when years ago I dreaded going and put it off! I now SMILE with confidence and I have the excellent staff at Exceptional Dentistry to thank for that! I have recommended to my family & friends the quality service you receive from Dr. Murray and his staff.. and they too are happy patients!
I had the BEST experience in your office. I loved the hygienist, she was so friendly. The office is so clean and nice. I have never had such a great overall experience in any medical office.
This wasn't a dental visit. It was a spa treatment. I'm invigorated. I love that you made time to fix my cavity when it wasn't scheduled. THAT'S service! No additional appointment was necessary. And my dental hygienist was expert at administering my numbing drug. I felt nothing. No discomfort at all. I love you guys. I tell everyone.
