Testimonials

What Patients Say About Us.

Dr. Pierce is fantastic. I had been suffering with a filling that I got almost 2 years ago, but didn’t want to get it fixed because it was so painful. He was able to calm my nerves and fix the filling. I can now chew on both sides of my mouth. I won’t be going anywhere else.

Venyce S.

The dentist and his team are wonderful! They are very gentle and really listen to the patient's concerns. The cleanings, dental work and the whole dental experience are excellent and made very comfortable for the patient. I'm glad that I made the switch from my previous dental group to Richmond Heights Dental Arts!

Nicole S.

The Richmond Heights Dental Arts team was wonderful! I'm not a fan of going to the dentist, but with a team like this, it was a breeze! Thanks again!

Ryan K.

Very friendly office staff. Had a toothache and I was able to be seen the same day. Will definitely be using them going forward.
