"The team is always smiling and pleasant to talk to. Comfortable cleaning and thorough exam. I've already referred several friends to Dr. Skognes and I will continue to send more."

"I am now the owner of a beautiful smile. It took hours in the chair and multiple visits but each visit I was treated with respect, humor, and much care. I have had to recently move to the upstate of South Carolina and have set the appointment to drive back to Cumming for my cleaning in September. A better dentist would be very hard to find! -"
