Edit: Incredibly high priced (do not accept some well know, large insurance companies). They told me I had 10+ cavities (I know hard to believe right?) So I went and got a second opinion elsewhere. 1 cavity only. They were going to charge me for 10 fillings and in reality I only had one actual cavity. Plus they wanted to do other treatments that were unnecessary. Personally, I do not recommend and would go to any other dentist in the area.

My husband and I go here, and our kids do as well. Sara and McKenna were amazing with our 6 year old and 10 year old - they were very nervous going to a new dentist but quickly relaxed and were very comfortable. I'm so glad to have such patient hygienist with our kids - they are looking forward to coming back and having their teeth cleaned again!

I had neglected my dental health for several years &now I was in pain. As a disabled veteran I usually go to the V.A. for my health care, but I was tired of them canceling my appointment's & having to reschedule for months in the future. I called Fox Run and they got me in in DAYS, not months! They're very nice, explaining everything. My wife and children will probably be coming to Fox Run Dental now,too.

I'm so impressed by the staff at this office. They were all so friendly and personable. The building was very clean and the service was 10/10. Definitely the best new patient appointment I've ever been to. They even gave me a personalized card with a goodie bag! Phenomenal

I needed to find a new dentist and quick. I had a broken molar that had an abscess that was quite painful. I was able to schedule an appointment online then fill out and submit my paperwork online as well. The next day I was greeted, shown the offices brought to my room (on time no less). Once I was made comfortable, I was assessed, given a professional opinion and a price breakdown of the services and what my insurance would cover all within a half hour. The actual extraction and sutures went without a hitch and was done before I knew it. The staff are personable, professional and friendly and I scheduled my follow-up and my kids appointments all at the same time because I was so impressed with the entire staff and services.

Awesome people that work there, always kind. Sweet to my family and kids when I have to bring them along, they explain everything before proceeding, they take the time to listen. I've never felt rushed for them to get to the next patient. Dr Long is a really great dentist ,I feel he has a very sweet spirt, you can tell he cares about his patients. I have and will always recommend them as an amazing dentist office. Thank you!

Fox Dental has been my go-to dentist in Appleton for years. Recently they were conveniently able to get me x-rays, routine cleaning, and filling all in the same appointment. I strongly recommend this highly professional and friendly dental team for anyone looking for a dentist.

I cannot say enough positive things about Fox Run Dental. The staff are welcoming, knowledgeable and very empathetic. The services are well explained, you completely understand what is going on from a process and financial standpoint, and they help to make you feel very at ease during procedures. For the first time in my life, I do not dread going to the dentist.

Highly HIGHLY recommend the Fox Run team. You feel welcome the moment you walk through the door, everyone from the reception desk, to the hygienist, to the dentist are super helpful and unbelievably friendly. Most importantly - I had some preventative work done (fillings to replace worn enamel, replacing old fillings) which my old dentist never even suggested last year when I was there, but the work was completely painless and much faster than I've ever experienced. They do an amazing job and I wish I could give far more than 5 stars.

Amazing staff! I had an "emergency" appointment scheduled with a dental clinic local to me for my 9 year old, they called the morning of to cancel because he is a child. I was so very impressed with Fox run, I scheduled an appointment for him for Wednesday and they reached out the same day I scheduled and offered me to come that day as I had let them know my son was in pain. We will continue to make the hour drive for our dental needs based off the amazing treatment here!
