I've been to a lot of dentists but Dr. Alton --and his staff--is by far the best in terms of competence and attitude. \r
\r
First, he saved a tooth another dentist said couldn't be saved. He is the first dentist to thoroughly read my chart/history as well as financial realities and talked to me about a plan that worked for me and to work with my insurance and budget to mazimize outcomes. He also called and emailed to see how I was after some grueling visits.\r
\r
I also really appreciated the positive, optimistic attitude of his staff. They all are very positive and encouraging. They have completely turned around my dental health and my attitude towards dentists and dental care.\r

Dr Acton is also active in the community, working with dental and other charities. He even shaved his head for one. In May or June, he and his staff devote an entire day of time to a charity--you pay, and can use your insurance, but you get a tax write-off for what you pay, so it's a win-win for everyone.
Pros: saved a tooth others said had to be pulled
Cons: not cheap (but not necessarily more than others)
