"Dr. Otten and his entire staff understand dental health affects not only your mouth but also your whole body and equally other physical conditions may be a cause of an existing dental health issue. His commitment to treating the whole person has exceeded my expectation."

"Dr. James Otten and his entire team were outstanding. From the minute I walked in the door and was greeted with a smile I knew I was home. The dental service was personalized to my individual needs and the quality of care was exceptional. I couldn’t ask for a better smile. I highly recommend this office."

- G Edwards

"Dr. Otten relieved TMJ pain and daily headaches that I had been experiencing for over 5 years. I have been without the daily pain for close to 5 years now and can’t imagine going back. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Otten and his staff."
