Traveling in the Alpine area and began to experience tooth pain. Dr. Linford and his staff were excellent. They worked me in and made an X-ray and got me antibiotic to take care of abscesses tooth and a much swollen cheek. I highly recommend this dental clinic. They definitely deserve the 5 stars.

It's always concerning when moving to a new location, and having to find a new dentist. Someone referred me to Dr. Linfords office in Alpine. From the moment I walked in to his office, I couldn't have felt more welcome. From the receptionist Erin, to Amber and Dr Linford himself. I've always felt that they go out of their way to make certain that you are not just a number, but rather, a person that they give the utmost attention to. I just left his office again today, and I was extremely pleased with the work that Dr. Linford did. I have probably written 3 to 4 reviews in my lifetime, but for what it's worth, I wanted to say thanks to everyone in the office for making my transition extremely pleasant. Rick Foster

Dr. Linford and his team of dental superstars have been the BEST dental experience that I have had in a very long time, if ever! I have had dental bridges for the past 10-12 years and they needed a makeover. After our first consultation, Dr. Linford helped me weigh out the pros and cons of getting all new bridge work or moving toward implants. I chose to do a whole new set of bridges, and after installing them this morning, I couldn't be happier. He took the time to ensure that not only were they functional, but also beautiful. He and his team treated my finished chiclets like a work of art and I am so grateful for their attention to detail, professionalism and emphasis on my comfort in the dental chair during our countless hours together over the last three weeks. I highly recommend Alpine Dental- please help support this growing practice. We need more dentists and hygienists like Dr. Linford and his team here in Star Valley! P.S. Amber cleaned my teeth today and they are so pearly white. Go to them! Stop wasting time and money on mediocre dental work from other providers!!
