gentle, caring & kind

"Best dentist ever!! I have anxiety about the dentist, especially anything involving shots. I’ve had cavities filled twice here now and I just love Dr. Rutledge and her staff :) they make it quick and almost completely painless. She’s always thorough during dental exams and the hygienists are lovely. I’ve moved to Detroit but still come back to Jackson for my appointments here! 10/10"

"I went to Springcrest to get Invisalign and let me tell you the experience was off the charts. I am so excited for my smile and how they made sure everything was perfect. Doctor Rutledge was very detailed and made sure everything was explained and perfect before I left. Thank you so much for everything!"
