Welcoming & Friendly!

Dr. Clawson is extremely welcoming and friendly. From what I can assess from being a patient at Comfort Dental, Dr. Clawson takes great pride in making sure his patients are satisfied with their treatment. He was more than willing to explain how things worked and answer any questions that I had for him!I’ve been coming here for almost a year now. I started treatment the same day as my consultation. The staff is truly incredible—very knowledgeable and always helpful with any concerns or scheduling issues. I appreciate everything they do.

A Fantastic & Professional Place!

This facility was a fantastic and professional place where I felt that my teeth were getting the best treatment possible!! I was always given expert advice and Dr. Steve had a very cohesive and thorough plan for my orthodontic work. I am in love with how my teeth turned out, as they were a total mess before I came here!
