At Horton Family Dental, Dr. Ben Horton performed a root canal for me. I had no pain at all. I never even felt the needle for the anesthetic. Ben has very talented eyes and hands and a great personality. If you need dental work, you will not go wrong with Horton Family Dental. Thanks, Dr. Ben Horton. You and your dad, Dr. Doug Horton, are fantastic dentists. Your staff are wonderful folks.

I have been a patient of Dr. Horton since 1980. I felt completely at ease from the very first visit with Dr. Horton. His pleasant personality and his sense of humor helped put my fears to rest. He took the time to explain the procedures of what needed to be done. His staff is wonderful and very knowledgeable and very professional. I have complete confidence in Dr. Horton and staff.

When I was in 4th grade my dental process began. Every step of the way Horton Family Dental was there for me. Dr. Horton actually called me while he was off work just to see how I was doing after my surgery. Everyone at the office is helpful and has a great heart. If anyone was looking for a dentist, I would definitely recommend Dr. Horton.
