Selecting just the right dentist to meet your family’s needs can be a challenging task. Everyone has specific qualities and professional abilities they hope to find in a family dentist. The right dentist should be compassionate, professional, gentle, personable and skilled at providing conservative, yet cutting edge dentistry. The right dentist should also have a professional and courteous staff that strives to give personal attention to each patient. Dr. Artie Cooper and his staff exhibit all of these amazing qualities and that is why our family has been patients of his practice for many years. Jim has been a patient of Dr. Cooper since he began practicing in Gastonia many years ago. I started receiving my dental care Dr. Cooper’s practice over 25 years ago. I am a coward when it comes to the dentist, but Dr. Cooper and his staff put me at ease and always make me feel very comfortable. Our daughter, Hannah, has been a patient since childhood and she is now an adult. Dr. Cooper has the most gentle touch we have ever experienced with the dentist. As a child, our daughter argued with us about receiving numbing medication during a filling by Dr. Cooper. She told us that she did not get a shot and that she only had “sleepy juice” for her filling! What more is there to say about his gentle touch! The staff at Dr. Cooper’s office are very personable, caring and always helpful. The practice has a warm family feel that keeps us coming back. Dr. Cooper will always be the right dentist for our family and it is impossible to list all of the positive attributes that he and his staff exhibit.
