There's so much that can be done these days to improve the appearance of a person's smile - at any age. What a difference straight teeth can make! A great-looking smile can boost your self-confidence and have a positive impact on social and professional opportunities. Conscious sedation with nitrous oxide can help you lose that anxiety, and make the whole experience so stress-free that you may not even remember it when it's over. Before the development of dental implants, dentures were the only alternative to replacing a missing tooth or teeth.

Dr Proctor and his assistants are always so gentle when working on you. Enjoy seeing my hygienist Shelby who is also gentle and very thorough. Front office always makes sure my claims are sent and bill paid!

I've been a patient with Dr. Proctor for many years. Not only is he extremely professional, he is also compassionate, kind and makes you feel comfortable and welcomed. The staff is great as well and their new facility is amazing.

Seriously, what an amazing experience! I brought my mom here (who is terrified of any and all dental treatment due to past experiences), and she left with a newfound outlook on dentistry. Dr. Runyan was so kind and patient during the consult. Melissa presented a detailed treatment plan and was so sweet in explaining each procedure in detail, and even though my mom was nervous, she calmed her fears by assuring her that she was in great hands. My mom gave her a hug and she knew she was in the right place. Just WOW! I highly recommend this office, and our entire family will be switching here as well. A+++++

Dr. Proctor and his team are awesome! My son's recent experiences with other dentist have not been great, but Dr. Proctor was very patient with him and after we left my son said, "This is the best place!"

My son and I had our first visit yesterday and it was a pleasant experience. Our appointments started on time. Since it was our first time here, it was a longer appointment due to x-rays. So, budget your time for about 90 minutes if it's your first time. I was told appointments will go much faster moving forward. Shelby was our dental hygienist, and she was GREAT.

She explained everything she was doing, was friendly, and gave a thorough cleaning without any discomfort. Dr. Proctor was very friendly, too. Compared to Abilene Pediatric Dental Associates, where we went prior with my son, Southwest Dental was much friendlier, hands-on, and provided more information. The only downside we experienced: the x-rays at Southwest Dental aren't small enough for little kids, so we will need to wait for our son to grow a bit more before he can have x-rays done. We will be back in 6 months!

Such a wonderful experience! Dr. Finley was so gentle and his dental assistant Ashley was extremely caring. 10 out of 10 would recommend Southwest Dental Group, especially Dr. Finley and Ashley! My temporary teeth are absolutely beautiful and I can't wait for my new smile! Thank you so much Dr. Finley and Ashley!

Dr. Proctor and his staff are fantastic! I am a patient with lots of anxiety about going to the Dentist, and Dr. Proctor was able to tell me step by step what was happening in my mouth as he worked! Going forward I will not be as anxious to see Dr. Proctor! What a blessing!

This is a wonderful practice. I am personally thankful for all the work Doctor Proctor has put into my teeth since 2014. His staff has always been very kind to me. Now they have moved to the state of the art facility. I love it.
