    Love this place! From Heather at the front desk keeping me informed of the procedures and insurance info to the hygienist Mari making a deep cleaning easy (for the patient!). Dr. keeps you informed and does what is necessary without upselling at all!

    So in the last month we have twice been scheduled only to be told one visit that the Dentist is not in our location today then the second visit that the Dentist was on Vacation and they forgot after sending me confirmation messages. After I left you then sent me a message that I missed the appointment. Now today I show up and waiting over a hour to be seen Ironic how the service plummet after we paid everything off wouldn't I be charged if I canceled twice without warning?

    The call center that schedules appointments doesn't have their calendar so I had an appointment with the orthodontist and when I got there they said that he was on vacation. I rescheduled and when I came back I waited over 30 minutes to be seen before giving up and leaving. On a separate occasion, I was seen by the dentist when I came in for a cleaning. It had been only 3 months since my last cleaning and was told I had 10 cavities somehow. They also told me I would need to pay $26 for fluoride and it wasn't until I told them fluoride was covered by insurance that they removed the charge. Overall not impressed, however my cleaning was fine.

    I really enjoyed my new patient exam! The team was kind and friendly. They even made me laugh at certain points during the exam. They were able to curate a plan to fit my needs and breakdown a thorough explanation of the treatment and cost. I appreciated their sincerity and will most definitely be returning to keep my smile bright!

    Awesome staff everyone makes you feel comfortable as they give you a clear understanding of your procedure that's going to be done. Now came time to check out had an issue with my insurance. Didn't fully understand it...but THANKS to Tyler he took the time to explain what the issue was and how it could be resolved. Got that resolved and was on my way in a matter of minutes.

    I must admit an aversion to Dental work. Having said that the experience at Gentle Dental was swift, cost effective and relatively painless. The staff and Drs are excellent. Very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend their service to all. I have never had a more pleasant Dental Experience!

    So far so good. Best experience at a dentist office in quite a few years. They listen and are ready and willing to work with me, rather than just focus on upselling.

    This is a great Dentist office. You will get services offered to you that you NEED. There are several Dentist offices in this area. I left one office and came here the next day. The office I left said I needed ALOT of work. As of this writing (2 years ago) THAT work hasn't been done... because it was never needed. The Doctors are as Honest as they come. The hygienist Alyssa does a great job cleaning your teeth. She tells you if there's issues and offers pointers how to improve. Just a very pleasant young lady. You can't go wrong choosing this Dentist office.

    Scheduled a visit for a lower left pain I have on one tooth. After X-Ray showed a possible root canal, turns out this office does not have an Endodontist available. You have to go to another office around the valley. I'll be going to another dentist office that offers all services. Other than that all was great, staff is nice and friendly.

    I had a great experience with Gental Dental! Although, there was a little misunderstanding on the scheduling portion of my visit, Gental Dental was able to squeeze me in and got almost half of what I needed done that day! They also got me in for a consultation the same day and I booked an appointment to get braces!! Gental Dental had such welcoming people. I got to meet a Hygienist, Orthodontist, and a few of the dental assistants as well as an intern(which I new!!! :D) and everyone was so welcoming. They made me feel really comfortable, they explained everything in detail and were very thorough! They made small talk which was also very comforting and made me feel like they weren't just out for the money! They took their time but also got the job done in a timely manner! I'm so happy i found this dental clinic... I had attempted services at 3 different clinics before this so the amount of relief it brought me once I realized this was my place, maaaan, this place is 9/10! I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone that happens to ask if I know anyplace! YOU GUYS WERE AWESOME! THANK YOU!
