Love this place, and I don't enjoy going to the dentist. But Dr. Samuelson and his team have made it more comfortable for me then I've ever been at a dentist. Sandy is our hygienist and me and my daughter absolutely love her. I've never had a bad experience here and always feel taken care as well as not pushed into anything if I'm uncomfortable. They're also amazing with kids. They've done better with my toddler than any pediatric dentist we've been too.

I have been going to this office for a few years now, and I love it! I went from needing full periodontal work to a complete turn around of minimal cleanings. Very thankful for the team at Black Hills Area Dental!

Horribly incompetent office staff!! Just thieves!!! Can't make an appointment early than a month out, took 110$ copay before work even done, now refused to give me the x-rays that are already paid in full!!! Took over 2 weeks to return the undeserved money with a nasty letter for the soul sucking owner!

Moved to the Black Hills of South Dakota a year ago and found Black Hills Area Dental and never in my life have I been so happy about the work the entire office provides. The attention to details is amazing along with the special care they give you to make sure you know you are in good hands. Everything is done with quality and focus. I lived all across our great country and this is by far the very best dental office. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Dr. Samuelson!

I tried a few dentists in Rapid City before giving up and not seeing a dentist for I'm ashamed to say how many years. When it was time to see someone co-workers encouraged me to see the team at Black Hills Area Dental and I'm so glad I did. For years I have been unhappy with my smile, needing some cosmetic work done I was afraid I would be told I needed so much more than I wanted like I had in the past, but the whole team made me feel comfortable. I was never pushed to do more work than I wanted or made to feel uncomfortable in anyway. Being a patient at Black Hills Area Dental you know they truly have your best interest at heart. From a simple cleaning to some of the more major work I have had done I was have always felt comfortable with ever step of the process. In the last year I have gone from being afraid to smile in picture's to showing off my smile every chance I get. I cannot express how happy I am with my new smile and all the work Dr. Samuelson and his team did to make it happen. I look forward to me and my family to being patients for years to come.

Our family has been patients at Black Hills Area Dental for twenty years because of the exceptional dental care we have always received. At one time a sign in the office alerted patients to the focus of this dental practice: "We treat your family as we would treat our family." Specifically, we appreciate the dental team--Dr. Bart Samuelson and Sandy--as well as the administrative team--Tara and Jodi.

Dr. Samuelson is unbelievably talented. I subjected my teeth to a 12-pack of soda a day for at least a couple of decades. He saved most of my teeth (I thought for certain, I'd be in dentures) and now I'm a proud new owner of a bright new smile. During covid, I figured what's the point of getting my teeth done if I'm just going to cover them up with a mask; however, pain is a great motivator and it came with a great epiphany: Smiling during a pandemic is a must, even if the only person that sees it, is looking in the mirror. Thank you Dr. Samuelson!

Full disclosure..... I work for an seo company which has no relationship or is doing business for Black Hills Area Dental. I've been a patient of Dr. Samuelson for several years. I can't tell you how caring this office is...from routine cleanings to emergency care they always make me feel like my comfort is they're top priority. I also believe I'm a challenging patient for them at times too, from not taking good care of my teeth all these years to waiting until last minute for emergency visits to fix a painful tooth, they always make me feel welcome and treat me with respect. Dr. Samuelson's the best. Thank you for making me feel important and have answers to my concerns before any procedure. Bad news... I've got a few crowns and a bridge coming this summer...good news is I'm going back to BHAD where I know I'll get good care. Patient for life.......Robert Sharp

Very rude receptionist. Pushing me to get multiple x-rays even though I had them recently taken at another dentist. They are trying to maximize profits and will likely push people towards unnecessary treatments to make more money. Seems like a scam to me.
