"I recently wanted to get my teeth back where they needed to be, and had a poor experience at another dentist, I was looking to get a second opinion, when I woke up with terrible tooth pain. I took the day off to to get the issue looked at, I couldn’t have been happier with the level of service and care at Daydream…all of the staff, and dr. Carlson were amazing and were able to refer me same day to an oral surgeon to get my issue resolved! If I could do more than 5 stars I would! Going to only go here in the future!"
"Dr. Carlston is the most gentle yet effective dentist I’ve had in my life! My first experience with him was when I had an infected wisdom tooth. He suggested I get them all extracted to avoid future infections. To say that I was dreading the appointment is an understatement! Once I got through it, though, it made me realize that I had hired the best dentist for the job because the procedures was relatively painless. Dr. Carlston personally followed up with me post extraction to make sure I was okay and no issues had come up! You want to start giving your teeth the best care they deserve?
