The Proof is in Our Patients
Dr Lapierre has a great staff who make you feel welcome. I am diligent in brushing my teeth, so I am always trying to improve each time I get to the office for a checkup. I am able to ask questions and feel comfortable with their service. I would recommend the office for anyone seeking dental services.

I have been going to Dr. Lapierre for over 20 years. The hygienists are all wonderful and make sure I am comfortable during the cleaning. Dr. Lapierre is great and always looking for the best ways to help his patients. He even came into the office on a weekend to help when my youngest son broke his front tooth - and did an amazing job and no one can even tell. Highly recommend if you are looking for a dentist.

Zoe Swick
Dr. Lapierre has been my dentist since the mid 90's. I see no reason to go anywhere else. His hygienists are very thorough and efficient. He has done a few crowns for me with little pain and he can make them on site, at least the ones he has done for me.
Brian Milovich

He is attentive and incredibly knowledgeable, being certain to make sure his patients understand all nuances of their dental health and he utilizes the best technology when issues arise that need to be addressed. I appreciate and highly recommend Dr. Lapierre to anyone searching for a compassionate and proficient dentist.

Dr. Lapierre takes the time to address questions. His new tool is to assess the probability of mouth cancers. I asked him some pointed questions as far as assessment, detection, prognosis, and treatment. His answers were spot on. Furthermore he said I was fine.
