What Our Clients Say About Us
"Dr. Sean Gore is very gentle. He also prides himself in his non-corporate demeanor and manner. He has never made me feel afraid nor has he ever made me feel ashamed of my teeth. He is very vigilant and pays attention to his patients and their gestures and immediately stops what he is doing when he sees any indication of discomfort. To me, this is quintessential evidence of the level and quality of care he provides. I have been his patient for 2 years or so, now."

"ASAP personnel are professional, courteous and kind. Dr. Gore is top-notch and has a passion for his patients and his profession. He and the staff walk in very high integrity and honor. Recently I had a chipped tooth and they went above and beyond to work me in and were exceptional in explaining the procedure - step-by-step. I highly recommend this local business"

"I have been a patient at Dr. Gore’s office for close to 30 years and I love the dad Dr. Gore and son Dr. Gore and their entire staff. They do a great job in keeping my teeth healthy. My dental assistant Debbie always does a great job on my cleanings. I always recommend anyone when they are looking for a good dentist office. This is the place to be."

The bacteria in plaque produce acids that erode tooth enamel, eventually creating a hole, or cavity, in the tooth surface. Left untreated, this decay can spread to the interior of the tooth, and might lead to the need for a crown, a root canal, or even extraction. When caught early, your dentist can ...
A dental veneer is a thin, durable porcelain shell that is custom-fabricated to cover the front of a tooth. Veneers can restore the appearance of teeth with chips, cracks, and stains, can close small gaps between the teeth, and can reshape misshapen or slightly misaligned teeth.
