I highly recommend Dr. Thum at Associates. He’s very kind, honest, with quality care. I had dental anxiety so bad before him. He never rushes you and will do what’s best/necessary. Explanations are clear and lets you ask all your questions. If you want a quality local dentist, this is the one I recommend! 10/10!

This dentist office was the only one in my area that took me right in when I had an emergency. That was when I was 23 years old, and 36 years later I am still going here. My whole family has gone here, and none of us have ever had a bad experience. I highly recommend Associates in Dentistry in Canton!

I really like the people in this office! I am a very nervous dental patient and they all are calming and soothing. Dr. Burton is very good with Nervous Nellys like me. I feel that after consulting with Dr. Burton, I feel I understand my situation and my treatment options.

After my previous dentist retired, I have spent a few years to find a new one. Finally, I am excited to have Dr. Horst as my new dentist. She was highly recommended to my family by a colleague. After four visits (2 for my wife, 2 for me), we are glad to say we got a great one!
