I needed a filling, which is never a fun experience, but the staff and Drs at Zent made it my best experience yet at the dentist. Dr. Sheena took the time to answer all my questions. She went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and relaxed!

Best dental experience I have ever had! The front desk was so welcoming and I was given the most in-depth checkup. The dental assistant and dentist took their time to talk me through everything.

I was terrified of the dentist for years. Dr. Sheena and the hygienists were so understanding and never made me feel judged. They worked with me at my pace. I'm no longer afraid to go!

From scheduling to checkout, everything runs smoothly here. No long waits, no surprises on the bill. They even submitted my insurance for me. This is how a dental practice should be run.

I drive from Mishawaka because Zent Family Dentistry is worth the trip. Dr. Stephen did my implant and it looks and feels completely natural. Can't say enough good things about this practice.
