What our patients are saying
Testimonial Mishawaka – Catherine
“I had severe pain in my wisdom teeth all weekend, so I used Afdent’s emergency care first thing Monday morning. My wait wasn’t very long and as soon as I was called back they diagnosed really quickly. Dr. Diedrich was wonderful, he had to extract both lower wisdom teeth and he did so in less than 5 minutes! It was the shortest time I’ve ever been in a dental chair! It was quick and pain free and I’ve felt absolutely no discomfort or pain in my mouth since the extraction.”
– Catherine
Testimonial Mishawaka – Kathy
“Today I went to afdent emergency and the care I received was excellent. Everyone I encountered was kind and very understanding of the pain I was in and actually took the time to listen to what I wanted done in the long term. I have had bad teeth my whole life and always have a hard time with insurances helping with my dental care. ”

Testimonial Mishawaka – David
“Yesterday, Dr. Deidrich and his technician performed a rather radical root canal on me. They were pleasant, professional and FAST. I hadn’t gone in expecting the procedure and had a following appointment I had to keep – but they got the job done. Root canals are never pleasant, this is not my first, but in this entire experience I felt NO PAIN, and 24 hours later with NO post-procedure meds I have no discomfort! My mouth feels perfectly normal, as if I’d had nothing done at all! Thanks Afdent, for consistently assurring excellent, on time, professional services – and for maintaining a GREAT staff!”

“Finally got my infected wisdom tooth out today! I have to say it was one of the best dentist experiences I’ve ever had, and I’ve had A LOT! Every employee there is SO nice and helpful. The lady was so gentle giving me all three novocaine shots, so they didn’t hurt at all. The doc came in once I was numb and literally had my tooth out in under 2 mins. He said everything went well and I didn’t need stitches! They made sure I was comfortable every step of the way and made sure they sent me home with the proper medicine to get through the healing process. As long as Afdent is around I’ll never go any place else. AMAZING place.”

“When I came in I expressed my fear of the dentist. So much so, that I had previously removed one of my teeth myself. The assistant that took care of me, she was AMAZING. She made sure I knew what was going on and was able to keep me as calm as possible. I thought I was going to be getting a tooth extracted and instead she assured me is be able to keep it. I had 2 teeth that needed root canals. Dr. Fletcher took great care of me. I’m going to start bringing my son for regular visits. Thank you so much for giving me a GREAT experience from the minute I walked in the door until I left!”

“I was born with cleft palate and have spent my life upset about my mouth. Last week I went in and thought my only option to ever be happy was dentures. I spent an hour talking to an amazing woman who helped me realize differently. I had a full mouth root cleaning, a removal, and 3 teeth bonded. The whole time the staff was so kind and thoughtful. For the first time ever I smiled today without covering my mouth. I’m beyond happy.”

I would recommend them to anyone!”
