NEW PATIENTSWhat Our Patients Say
I've been a patient since childhood, and the team is always friendly and caring. Dr. Lisa and the hygienists, especially Laurrel, provide fantastic care.- Had my first visit and must say I was very impressed in every way. Laurel did an amazing job with my cleaning, x-rays, scans, etc. She was super friendly and informative. Dr. Crafton was also really great, and should be so proud of her office. Front desk over the phone was super friendly and helpful as well. I was hesitant to go back to the dentist, and really have to say Crafton Dental is doing to top notch job keeping their patients safe and are clearly following CDC guidelines carefully. I truly felt safe in their office.
- Crafton Dental is the best dental practice in Howard County no question!
- Crafton Dental was truly fantastic to work with. We came in for an appointment for my daughter to "improve" her smile and left with just that and more.
- Our family has trusted Crafton Dental for years. They're friendly, attentive, and never pushy. Heather always takes such great care of my son's teeth. Highly recommend!
- My two children have had a wonderful experience at Crafton Dental, both for regular dental visits and orthodontics
- I have been going to Dr. Lisa Crafton for the last 5+ years. My children started at Crafton Dental with Dr. Casey Crafton about 20 years ago, and when it was time for me to look for a new dentist I was eager to meet his wife Dr. Lisa Crafton. She exceeded my expectations. Everything about Crafton Dental is top notch! The people who work there are all extremely friendly and professional. I can't speak highly enough of everyone in the office… including the front desk staff, the dental hygienists (especially Annie who is amazing) and of course Drs Casey and Lisa. If you are looking for a great experience at the dentist I would highly recommend Crafton Dental!
- I highly recommend Crafton Dental, I have been coming here for the past 15 years and always receive excellent care.
- Laurel was thorough and friendly during my cleaning, and Dr. Lisa is always so welcoming. My teeth feel great—Crafton Dental has been my go-to for years!
- I've seen Dr. Casey since I was a kid—he and Megan make visits easy and enjoyable every time.
- Laurel, Megan, and the entire team were so kind and attentive during my visit. Everyone made me feel comfortable and cared for.
- We love this place. Not only are they incredibly nice and great with the kids, but Dr. Crafton has recommended treatments that I believe has saved us further dental work later on! My daughter was 2 when she fell and hurt her front teeth. Another dentistwas going to pull her tooth. We went to Dr. Crafton and he was very reassuring and opted to see how the tooth grew. I'm SO glad we went to him and listened to him. He saved her tooth! We have been going there ever since! They are so friendly, have a great sense of humor, and are so great with the kids. I can not say enough good things about the staff there!
- Decided to change dentist after some disappointing experiences with my now previous provider. I read so many reviews on Crafton Dental. Although they were out-of-network, I decided to book based on my initial calls and interactions with the front desk staff, who were great. I was not disappointed! From the greeting all through the appointment, everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. Laurel was amazing. Answered all my questions (I had lots) and was very sweet. We laughed and I learned a lot. Bonus...they had technology I wasn't aware of which made my visit even better. The office was clean and I was impressed with their COVID procedures. Definitely looking forward to being apart of the Crafton family.
