Hearing them say “that wasn’t so bad” brings her joy. What she likes most though is seeing them smile when they look at themselves for the first time after treatment is completed. Renee says, “It’s amazing what confidence they show when they see how good they look.” She is glad she can help bring that feeling to them.

I needed emergency dental work done. They got me right in, took care of it, and was treated very professional yet kind. I highly recommend them!
- RL
Been going here for 30 years. Won't go anywhere else unless I have to for all of my dental work. The Dr. is awesome and an expert you can trust. I have had cleanings, cavities filled, and a crown. Highly recommend for people with teeth sensitivity issues and dental anxiety in general.

Dr. Fischman is the best!!! He's very gentle and explains everything in such detail! I have a fear of the dentist and he was very patient with me. I cannot recommend NDC enough!

Nebraska Dental Center is great! The staff is friendly, gentle, and knowledgeable. The dentist explains everything in a way that is easy to understand and is comforting. Would recommend it to anyone.
- Haley
After having a less than pleasant experience at another dental office, I decided to seek a second opinion from Nebraska Dental. The minute I walked in I felt so welcomed by the front desk and the whole dental team! They answered any questions/concerns I had and took the time to discuss the plan for my teeth with me with care and compassion. This team is outstanding, I would recommend them to anyone!
