Im so happy I found Dr. Skenandore at westgrove dental care! I've been looking for a dentist to go to regularly for a while, but hadn't been able to find a good fit. I came here for an emergency fix when I broke a tooth and I had such a good experience. I came back for an exam and to get a few more things done and have had the best experience I've ever had with a dentist. Highly recommend to anyone looking for excellent care.

I changed dentists after 40 years and joined Dr. Skenandores practice. I could not be more happy! The entire staff made my transition easy and everyone in the office is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, kind, skillful, and most of all cheerful!
I would highly recommend Dr. Skenandore and his team without reservation whatsoever. And my personal bonus is the office is a short 4 minute walk from my home!

Staff always puts their best smiles forward when greeting you. The check up thorough & the cleaning was so gentle I began to doze off! Wonderful staff. You need dental care? Expect the best @ Westgrove!!

Still true! Best dental care ever. I love Dr. Brandon, and all the staff. They are the best. Something a bit off-putting was that insurance person in the front office asked for a deposit for root canal scheduled 7 months from now. I will pay it shortly, but this could have waited until my next scheduled cleaning in 5 months.

Warm staff and timely appointments. Dr. Brandon was very helpful in explaining best care approach for my molar. Thank you for your help and I look forward to having my future dental cleanings at Westgrove Dental. I will recommend my family for their upcoming cleanings too!

Im one of those people deathly afraid of the dentist and my teeth were in miserable shape. The minute I walked into the office, I was greeted by friendly staff. They walked me through the paperwork, (I had insurance), took me in right away and I was amazed at how easy everything was! Dr. Skenadore was AMAZING. He explained all my issues,(of which there are many), and then prioritized which should be addressed first. I cant say enough about this office. They are just wonderful.

I trust and respect the dental care provided at Westgrove Dental Care. My recent cleaning went well thanks to Sharidyn, nitrous gas, and Dr B., checking my teeth for her work and mine. My 6-mo old bridge is perfect. I recommended Westgrove to a neighbor.

I love Westgrove Dental! I am a dental scaredy cat, and each visit they treat me with such respect, patience and understanding! Today I had what I call a dental emergency, and they got me right in, fixed the problem actually quite easily and made sure all my concerns were addressed! From the front desk, to the entire dental staff, they truly care about their patients.

We have been dental patients at this office for close to forty years, and always received the best care. Drs. Gibson and Platt preceded Dr. Brandon Skenandore. They both took tremendous pride in selecting who would take the helm upon their stepping down.
Dr. Brandon has been extremely professional and answers all my concerns about how my oral health impacts my general health and well being. He brings impressive credentials to the practice. Chloe, my hygienist, does a wonderful and thorough job cleaning my teeth at each visit. Generally, a very good experience overall. You will enjoy the same Im certain. I give them

I had a great experience at the dentists office. Everyone was very pleasant, professional, and genuinely kind. What stood out most was how comfortable the staff made me feelfrom the warm welcome at the front desk to the gentle and reassuring care during my appointment. They took the time to explain everything and made sure I felt at ease throughout. It's not always easy to feel relaxed at the dentist, but they made it possible. I truly appreciate their care and would highly recommend this office.

I had been a loyal patron of Dr Platt for many years. Recently, Dr Platt retired to spend more time with his family. Bravo! I was nervous to be changing to a new dentist, but Dr Brandon Skenadore has been stepping into very large shoes while stay humble and kind. So far, he is a fantastic dentist who cares, and it shows.

The staff greet you with smiles the minute you walk through the door. Sharidyn is my hygienist, and she is incredibly positive and encouraging, and also very deliberate and gentle when she cleans the teeth. Dr. Brandon checked my teeth today after my cleaning. He also is so personable and thorough. Westgrove Dental is the best!! I highly recommend this group!!

Even though I was uncharacteristically late for my appointment by 10 minutes they took me straight back and the whole cleaning and x-rays only took 45mins. Ive waited twice that just to go back at other dentist offices. Also all the staff is incredibly friendly and kind. Nothing but good things to say about Westgrove Dental Care.

Dr. Skenandore saved my tooth!
I was chewing on something tough when I suddenly was crunching on that unmistakably unpleasant sandy and gritty sensationpart of one of my incisors had broken off! I searched around for a dentist close by and thankfully this office was able to squeeze me in for a last minute appointment.
The appointment was a breezepaperwork was quickly completed and Dr. Skenandore took the time to calm my nerves and answer any questions I had. The office is very clean and all staff were very friendly and professional. I was in and out in less than an hour and they never tried to pressure me into any extra procedures that werent needed. Highly recommend coming to Dr. Skenandore for any of your dental needs!

I was a patient of Dr. Platt's, but he retired. Fortunately, his replacement, Dr. Skenandore, is great! He has a flexible schedule, which is great for me since I am a busy person. He explained what he would do, and why, and he did a great job with my teeth. 5 stars!
Staff are all nice and becoming tech savvy. I highly recommend him to everyone.

Wow!!! I'm so grateful for Dr Brandon and Dr Iris!!! They are a great team!! I took my smile for granted before I chipped my tooth-I was so thankful, I was holding back grateful tears when I got such a quick response to be treated after hours on a holiday weekend!
My smile got not only restored but improved!
Cosmetic dentistry is an art form and I was impressed with the results and relieved to have my dignity back. Getting numbed didn't even hurt! It was a relaxing experience, I almost fell asleep, I felt confident I was getting the best care-It was fun to get a tour, they've put in a lot of work to improve the building and it was fun to hear the vision for the future, I highly recommend Dr Iris and Dr Brandon. You can count on kindness, sincerity, the most current knowledge in dentistry and beautiful results! My husband had a similar repair done years ago at a different dental office and he asked me,"Doesn't it feel rougher than your natural teeth? I said, "No, it feels smoother.." Then we learned the detailed process of how that result is achieved-it takes more work and product but the results are phenomenal.
Thank you Westgrove Dental Care!!! I wouldn't risk going anywhere else! See my yelp review for before/after pics-

My dentist retired and I was apprehensive about trying a new dentist. I made an appointment with Dr. Brandon who put me at ease right away! Hes an amazing, professional, and competent dentist. Did a great job on my crowns, and was very helpful and informative. He took lots of time to show me the work he was doing and why. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist.

This was my first visit. The office was larger than I expected and clean and well-maintained. Chloe was my hygienist, and she greeted me promptly. I really enjoyed the way she conversed with me during the appointment. She was careful to explain everything she was doing, and what she was finding. Dr. Skenandore thoroughly reviewed my dental history with me, and made some adjustments. Every aspect of my experience was great.

SOS!!! Stunning, Outstanding Service Alert!
I visited Dr. Brandon for a dental checkup and cleaning and was blown away by the professionalism and cleanliness of his practice. Dr. Brandon was kind, knowledgable, and mindful. I felt comfortable and immediately at ease when I entered his zen abode of a dental office. The waiting room was very calming and welcoming, and the assistants and staff were lovely, attentive, and joyous to communicate with! They all radiated such beautiful energy!
I was so impressed that I decided to pursue Invisalign treatment through Westgrove Dental Care as well. Again, the service was easy, enjoyable, and effective. I look forward to my next visit! I would recommend Dr. Brandon and Westgrove Dental Care to anyone who is looking for a caring dentist who advocates for the best interests of the patients!

Dr. Brandon and his staff were absolutely awesome. I went to my DDS office because of a very painful tooth, was told I needed a root canal. That DDS also told me I couldnt be scheduled for a root canal for 2 weeks. I then called Dr. Brandons practice, and he fit me in the same morning for an exam and xrays. He confirmed that I did indeed need a root canal, His staff scheduled the appointment with the endodonist for the root canal that same afternoon. Thats what I call great customer service. The root canal went well, and the follow up appointment with Dr. Brandon for the tooth crown went great also. I cant say enough good things about Dr. Brandon and his staff.

I visited Dr. Skenandore as a new patient for a check up and cleaning. I can happily say that I was blown away by how friendly and professional Dr. Skenandore and the staff were. He answered all my questions and even spent time going through my x-rays and photos to educate me about my teeth! He definitely made me feel comfortable and at ease, and was also very gentle during my cleaning (I have sensitive teeth so this was great)! I highly recommend Dr. Skenandore and am excited to continue seeing him for all my dental needs!

I am a new patient of Dr. Skenandore and this office and I just had my first cleaning. I recently moved and have been looking for a new dentist for a while. My appointment was quick and I was able to back to work quickly. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The hygienist was super nice and was very thorough with the cleaning and X-Rays. Both she and Dr Skenandore took the time to show me what was going on with my teeth, and answered all my questions. I hate shopping around for a new dentist so I am relieved to have found a great one!
