When I was younger, I wanted to go into something with the sciences, but I wasn’t really sure. My community had a dentist that I was a patient in their practice, and he loved his job. He loved everything about his work, so I spent a summer working in his practice, and I loved it.
I fell in love with it. His patients loved him, and he loved his patients, so it made me want to do dentistry, so that’s how I got here. So the most rewarding part for me in dentistry is patient care, so I love the opportunity to be able to help a patient to move through whatever fears or anxieties they have, and be happy about their smile at the end, the way their teeth look, and more importantly, the way they feel about the work that’s been done to them, that they’ve received ultimate care, and they feel as if this is a second home for them when it comes to taking care of their health, so that for me is the icing on the cake.

I can always expect exceptional service from Dr. Fulton and Rita, and somehow, they exceed my expectations. I can count on professionalism; personal, gentle, and caring service; and the latest of dental techniques. All of the support staff are friendly, efficient, and can get you in on time and out the door. This is the practice for you and your family! Updated, seen 5/24 and again care was great. New update. This time I made a desperate call on 3/23/26. A 24-year old cap on my front tooth came undone, and I was hoping for a quick repair. It may have loosened from general anesthesia during a very recent surgery. Dr. Newman saw me the same day and did an outstanding job. Prior to my arrival, he spent a lot of time researching my dental file, contacted my recent surgeon since procedures should be delayed especially for knee replacement, and obtained approval to perform the procedure. Dr. Newman’s background in infectious disease and immunology may have impressed my surgeon!

The tooth extraction went very well. The dentist provided a pain free experience. However when I called the week before and explained to the secretary it was an emergency, I had an abcessed tooth, had no medicine or antibiotic and could I speak to the dentist or get a call back, she did not pass on the message. I had to go to a walk in clinic and wait with the place filled with very sick people to get an antibiotic. My normally low blood pressure was 147 over whatever. The dentist said she would have called back. Other than that it is always a pleasant place.

We recently moved to the area and a friend referred us here. At my first visit, I had a comprehensive exam with Dr. Sargent that was extremely thorough, informative and helpful. I felt that I was valued as a person and as a patient by all of the staff. I am very grateful to them for their care and professionalism. I am very thankful to have a dentist who cares so much. The appointment took longer than I expected, but I didn’t feel like I was waiting an inordinate amount of time, it was just how long it took because of the extent of the exams. For those of us who don’t have dental insurance, their prices are very fair and they also offer a subscription that is tantamount to insurance and gives an annual savings over $100!
J. W. (Verified Patient)
The staff were great. Very welcoming and friendly. Dr. Newman was extremely thorough and takes a personalized approach by putting his patients first. He made me feel so comfortable and took much of his time to do a thorough examination. Then clearly explained treatment options, made recommendations, and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend this practice!
