Knowledgeable, professional and courteous service from the moment I walked in the door. My Hygienist, Bridget and Dr. Salava are the best!

Jonathon S.

Dr. Salava and his staff are some of the most compassionate and friendly people I’ve worked with in the medical field. Every experience I have at the office is an excellent one.

Liv F.

Dr.Salava, is the best dentist I’ve ever had!! He’s kind, caring, and compassionate. I’ve been seeing him for my implant “process,” and he’s been nothing short of amazing!! He has kept me informed of every detail of the process, and is always concerned if you call with any issue. Everyone in his office is amazing, and I honestly wouldn’t want to go anywhere else. I decided on him out of 1000+ Drs. I could have seen from Topeka to Kc. Dr.Salava’s office and staff are knowledgeable, efficient, and willing to do what it took for me to be proud of the teeth in my mouth. He explained every step and process to a T, and eliminated a lot of my anxiety committing to the process. If you’re in need of dental work of any kind, I’d strongly suggest Dr. Salava.

Tinh M.

Everyone there is super friendly and professional! Recently Dr. Salava did an implant and a bridge for me. Both look absolutely amazing!!! My hygienist, Jackie, always does an outstanding job in cleaning my teeth.

Denise B.

I am grateful for the excellent care I received for my problem tooth. From the endodontic referral, getting me in for care when Dr. Salava was unavailable, to scheduling around my travel plans. The entire staff was caring, kind and helpful.
