Efficient service and a friendly environment.

"My child was so scared and admittedly so was I to for her first dentist appointment. What an amazing experience. Dr Amanda Marais was super friendly and took her time explaining every step as she went. Her assistant went out of her way to make us comfortable and ofcourse Mauzie was the star of the show every time my daughter started to feel a little nervous he was there to be rubbed and patted. My daughter can't wait for her follow up."

A hidden gem for urgent care.

Dr Amanda and staff members are extremely helpful, and they all have such warm personalities. They assisted with a lip tie release on my 6-week-old, they worked very gentle with her, and they are very caring. They are professional in what they do and put you at ease and you know your little one is in safe hands. I will definitely visit them again and if someone asks, I will refer them to all.

Painless process and friendly staff.

We had an amazing experience with Dr Weakley! She was incredibly patient and made sure my daughter felt comfortable throughout her visit. She took the time to answer all my questions with kindness and care, which I truly appreciated. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about her little patients and their well-being. I highly recommend her to any parent looking for a compassionate and skilled pediatric dentist! The receptionist Rachel is also extremely compassionate and understanding.

Compassionate care when I needed it most.
Dr Amanda turned our kids dental visits into a pleasure. Our kids are now tweens/teens and have beautiful teeth, helped by her positive encouragement and engagement with them. Issues with their teeth were identified when they were younger and both children don't need any work done anymore. We can highly recommend DinoDent.
