Raving Reviews from Our Patients

Exceptional only begins to scratch the surface of the type of service, one may receive from Dr. Ratner and his staff at Exceptional Dentistry.

Not only is their dental work of the highest order, the sheer kindness and bedside manner of the entire staff, is truly extraordinary.

As someone who neglected their oral health for years, resulting in daily physical discomfort and a deterioration of confidence, I can fully attest to the life-changing experience I had with Exceptional Dentistry. Life-changing is not an exaggeration, but a statement of fact.

I had an exceptional experience at Dr. Ratner’s office. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and informative. I had very minor gum recontouring done and the process was very carefully done and very quick. Whether it was a minor procedure or not, I am so happy I trusted Exceptional Dentistry and it has made a world of a difference to me.
Great place, great people, great work. Thank you!
