I cannot thank Sani Dental enough for giving me a beautiful smile. I was here for a week for intense oral surgery. They gave me different options to choose.
The dentists were professional and made me feel confident. My treatment was like a breeze. Seriously can’t stop looking in the mirror and smiling!
And their shuttle to/from the airport, hotel, and clinic is very convenient. It shows up minutes after being called. I will recommend it to anyone seeking dental work.
