"Doctor Coston is honest, gentle and thurough. He doesn't try to upsell and push treatments like some area dentists that I've seen. The most positive and calm experience at a dentist I've ever had. His hygienists are knowledgeable and accurate in their cleaning. I also have had a filling done by Dr. Coston, which I'm usually very anxious about, but it was surprisingly comfortable and easy."
Becca D.

"I have been seeing Dr. Coston for at least 10 years. I could not ask for a more caring, knowledgeable dentist! I truly loathe going to the dentist, but Dr. Coston always ensures I am comfortable and pain free. I love all the hygienists and the front office staff! Just all around awesome!"
Erin R.
"I have been a patient of Dr. Coston for about 10 years. He is the best dentist I have ever been to! He is the epitome of professional, kind, and caring. He is an extreme perfectionist, the best kind of dentist anyone would want. I referred my friends and my family members and they have also been patients for years and have regular appointments with him. His staff is excellent. Yelp and other social media is a great source of feedback for us.....however....there are malevolent people out there, (such as scorned exes), who take unnecessary and reprehensible steps to defame and smear others. It is despicable for anyone to do so to an individual with an esteemed and highly respectable character."

"Dr Coston has been my dentist for over 20 years. I absolutely love him! He is such a great person and has an impeccable practice. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for the BEST dentist!"
