Great place. Staff is friendly and comforting. I am very anxious and was very anxious about going, as I haven't been in years and a lot of dental places are usually a little rude and judge. Gentle dental was not like that at all and is the perfect place to go (especially if you have anxiety). I have already been recommending them to people.

Much like many, I was really not looking forward to my visit. However, the staff was friendly and welcoming. I was nervous and self conscious. They were professional, polite, straightforward, and courteous. I left feeling better about my teeth and their future in my mouth.

The Dentist (Manish Jimena DMD)was very conscientious about my comfort. That was extremely important to me. His assistant was very pleasant and equally conscientious about my comfort level. I would highly recommend Gentle Dental to my friends and family.

I had a great experience here at Gentle Dental. I came in looking for an appt after my crown of my tooth had fallen off. They got me an appt the same day which was great because I was not going out in public with a missing front tooth. Manish Juneja took care of me and just about and hour I had a new temporary crown which matched perfectly with the rest of my teeth. He was great friendly and funny. If your looking for a dentist this is one !

Dr. Manish Juneja and his assistant were very nice and helpful at calming me down during my wisdom tooth extraction. It was my first time getting a tooth extracted so I was very anxious. They kept me calm and comfortable by saying jokes here and there and asking if I was okay or needed a break each time they started a different step of the procedure. Even with a small complication once the full procedure was done, they were calm stayed with me until I was okay to leave. The check in staff was also very nice to me and the office has a great atmosphere. I usually hate going to dentist in general but they made it super smooth and simple!
