Read Some of Our Emergency Patient Experiences

"I've been going to Millpond Dental for about 8 months. First seen for an emergency tooth pain, which they helped me right away. They have been very friendly and responsive to me and that shows they are interested in my care. I would recommend this practice for dental care."

Sue M.

"We've enjoyed our experience at Millpond Family Dental. Our daughter was having tooth pain from a filling done at another dentist office. Dr. Harward was able to assess the situation and clean up the filling to help alleviate the pain. They have always been as accommodating as possible with appointments."

Jonathan A.

"Dr. Harward is an excellent dentist and was able to fix a small chip in my front tooth that another practice said it wasn't worth doing since it may not stay. Dr. Harward filled it and have had no issues and love my smile."
