“I’ve had jaw pain for the last 10 years, and I didn’t know what it was from. I found out it was from previous dentists who had done some crowns and fillings that were a bit too tall, so when I shut my mouth, it was very uncomfortable and caused a lot of pain. No dentist ever believed that I had high crowns until this one. Dental Nook dentists helped me and filed everything down so I can finally shut my mouth comfortably. I just wish I had found them sooner.”

“They let loved ones go back with you if you’re uncomfortable. Since we’ve had very poor dental experiences in the past, that was a huge help to both of us.”

“I don’t have insurance, but they have a plan so you don’t have to pay full price, which makes it easier.”
- Dental Nook Patient
“I have health issues that make invasive procedures very difficult, if not, pretty much impossible for me [without anesthesia]. The fact that they were able to accommodate that and on such short notice was a very big help for me.”
- Dental Nook Patient
I have been going to Dental Nook since it opened and I don’t want to go anywhere else. Every person I have interacted with there is kind and welcoming. It's always very clean and on time. I trust Dr. Cantua completely, he is so passionate about dentistry and I know he only wants what’s best for my teeth.
- Shane P.
The staff is always professional and I enjoy going to the dentist now because it is such a good experience. I am no longer afraid of going to the dentist. The doctors listen to my fears. I also appreciate all the new technology. I know I am in good hands when I am going to Dental Nook.

I never leave reviews, but the care I have received at Dental Nook has been amazing. I have anxiety when it comes to dental work, and the staff here has done a great job of making me feel comfortable. They communicate well, are reasonably priced, and do great work. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new dentist!
- Tracy V.

Words can not express how amazing everyone truly is in the office. Dr. Castillo is a genuinely caring person. The way he trains his staff with open arms and no judgment to how he treats all patients with love. Thank you so much for going above and beyond for my entire family.
