Gaston Dental is an office that I am so grateful for. They explained to me the situation and the procedure they had to complete for me. I am a person that has never even thought of going to the dentist. When my friend booked my appointment with Gaston Dental, I wasn't looking forward to it. Right now after my first and second visit with them, I am so very glad to be a patient there. The entire staff was friendly, professional, and so accommodating. Everything was explained in a manner that I could understand and I can't wait to get my dentures there. Thank you all so very much for treating me like family. Sincerely, Edward Tuft.
