I've been terrified of the dentist since I was little until I started going to Dr. Paul O'Malley! He is the most gentle and kind dentist, the whole staff is so friendly and never makes me feel scared or ashamed of any teeth problems. After years of dental issues, Dr. OMalley did my veneers. The process was so easy and painless, and now I feel very confident in my smile and want to take care of my teeth again. I highly recommend!!

Dr. O’Malley and his staff are wonderful. This office is peaceful and the information he provides in advance of treatments and even exams is extremely thorough. My orthodontist recommended him to save a tooth w/ biomimetic dentistry that almost needed a root canal… To quote that doctor - “ If it was anyone else, I’d say you’d be back seeing me for a root canal in a year, but I trust O’Malley’s work.” He was right! The handiwork is clean and the results look terrific. Highly recommend!

I had some pretty serious problems and because of past dental experiences was literally terrified of dentists. Which is why I let it go so long. I was looking for a holistic approach and was very fortunate to find Dr. O'Malley. Fortunately, although my issues were serious, he found a perfect solution. It was a long process, but he and his staff made me feel welcome and more importantly, they really care and show it. I am so happy to have found them and can only say how wonderful they are. Dr. O'Malley is the teeth master artist. I can't recommend him and his team enough.

I went to see Dr. O'Malley after bad experiences with numerous dentists. I had previously read about biomemetic dentistry and was very interested. My concern was to restore a tooth that was sensitive and beginning to hurt. My previous dentist said that tooth was no good and needed to come out. I was also interested in removing several Mercury fillings. From the first day I was very impressed with the atmosphere and level of care. After the x-rays and consultation with Dr. O'Malley, we agreed on proceeding with my care plan. The level of care was exceptional and beyond anything I had ever experienced with traditional dentistry.

I highly recommend Dr. O'Malley who is truly an expert in Biomemetic dentistry, he is honest, patient, and very methodical. He and his entire staff were very caring and made me feel very comfortable and at ease.

UNBELIEVABLY HAPPY!
I’ve but a lot of thought into what I wanted to say about Dr. O’Malley and his office. Before going to see him I had been researching and researching which holistic/natural dentist to see. After hours of studying up on Dr. O’Malley, I decided to go see him. I used to have a major phobia of going to the dentist— so much so that it put me off of doing it for years! But as soon as I met with Dr. O’Malley and his team that all changed!! The environment is designed to be completely soothing, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and Dr. O’Malley was exactly what I had been searching for. He took the time to make sure I understood what was needed every step of the way to restore my mouth and give me the smile I’d always wanted! There was genuine care and one-on-one assistance in making that happen from him and the entire team! Going to see Dr. O’Malley was the BEST INVESTMENT in myself I’ve ever made! He really is the OG in holistic dentistry!

I had the greatest experience with Dr. O’Malley. I had quite a few mercury fillings he removed and filled with biomimetic onlays. If you need natural cosmetic dental work or safe removal of mercury fillings, this is where you must go
