THIS IS A WONDERFUL and AMAZING practice!! I have seen Dr. Chung a few times and he was kind, patient and explained everything to me. The hygienists were very knowledgeable and good listeners. The front desk staff works hard and is friendly! My family also switched and they are all beyond grateful to have this type of service. I am VERY picky about dentists and wish I had made this move long ago. This practice is not pushy or makes you feel like it is just “hurry up in and out service”- you receive undivided attention. So if you are considering a move, Legacy Dentistry is the way to go!! A +++

I have completed my invisalign treatment through Legacy Dentistry and could not be happier with the results. They were outstanding in making sure I understood every step of the process and how to ensure success in achieving my goals. They included me in every decision and provided options for my choice in how to proceed. I highly recommend this practice to anyone considering the invisalign process.

So impressed by the entire team at Legacy dental. I went in experiencing pain in my front teeth. Dr. Babington was quick and precise in letting me know that my teeth were extremely crowded in the front and recommended Invisalign’s. I had piercing pain for quite some time. So bad that my front teeth were pushed so far together they were cracking (ouch!). After just a few weeks the pain subsided which was sooooo nice. Invisalign also helped my two twisted teeth that would dig into the sides of my mouth resulting in occasional bleeding. I wish I had done this sooner. I’m a little over halfway through my treatment and my smile has changed drastically. I’ve worked with Jocelyn (the Invisalign queen) since October and really look forward to seeing her every few months. It feels like family at Legacy. The front desk is always smiling and I have never had a long wait time. I now get my cleanings there. One more thing that I absolutely have to add is Dr. Babington’s practice has state of the art technology. It’s easy to see that his whole staff keeps up with ongoing education in the dental field. Not only are they happy to help you. They are EXCITED about the process. Thank you to the Legacy dental team!!

They have recently made over the entire office, and it is amazing! Beautiful. The staff is congenial, helpful and knowledgeable. Dr. William Babington had been my dentist for over 40 years, and he was absolutely the best. Upon his retirement, his son Dr. David Babington took over the practice. Like father, like son, Dr. David is absolutely the best. Knows exactly what he is doing. He is also very respectful of the patients’ time, and I am always seen on time. I couldn’t ask for anything more in a dentist.
Common Questions About Relieving Dental Anxiety
Can you help with relieving dental anxiety?
Yes, we would be more than happy to help you through your dental anxiety. Over the years, we’ve been able to help thousands of patients relax so they could receive much-needed dental care. Our staff is trained to be as calming and compassionate as possible, and they would love the chance to help you, too.
Are there steps I can take at home to relieve dental anxiety?
Before your appointment, we suggest visualizing a positive experience and practicing deep breathing exercises. You can also visit our office at a quiet time, when other patients may not be around. Ask us about this option when you call us to make your appointment. Share any concerns you have with us beforehand. We can even establish a signal for you to use to indicate if you need a break.
Why is relieving dental anxiety important?
If you experience severe fear of going to the dentist, it can lead you to avoid dental visits for years. Unfortunately, this fear not only impacts your oral health, but it can have negative effects on other areas of the body. That’s why it’s essential to find a dentist who can work with you, so you maintain good oral health throughout your life.
