Such a thorough job cleaning my teeth. Spent as much time as necessary to win over some stubborn spots. Then convincing advice on how to increase the time between visits and avoid future problems. Dr. Shimizu followed up with a thorough examination. Feels good to be in the hands of such a capable team.
