Let's be honest, nobody looks forward to going to the dentist but Grove Heath makes it a great experience. They get to know you on a personal level, and are very detailed with their work. I left my prior dentist because I saw the high turnover and it felt like the room was a holding cell. At Grove Health Dental I felt like I was at the spa, where they played music from my favorite artist throughout my time there. They spent more time with me and used much more modern equipment and practices than my other dentist. I'm very happy to have found them!

Google- you need more than 5 stars for Grove Health Dental. 2 years since my last review and the GHD team only impresses more. If you aren't going to GHD, I wouldn't even bother brushing because you have no idea what the standard of patient-centered dental care is until you visit them. Absolutely incredible. The entire team is friendly, super courteous, and uses technology to make booking and keeping appointments frictionless. The facilities and tools are modern and like new. Can't say enough good stuff about this place.

Everyone at Grove Health Dental is so wonderful. I've been going to them for a few years while living in the area. I recently moved further away than is convenient and haven't found a new dentist close by. Just had an urgent issue arise and they got me in next day without hesitation. They are down-to-earth, friendly, accommodating, and their office space is so nice and welcoming. Dr. Holmgren gave me a referral for a great dentist in my new area. I will miss these guys!! <3

I'm someone who absolutely loathes going to the dentist, but after my experience at Grove Health Dental, that dread has completely alleviated. From the moment I got there everyone was extremely kind, helpful, and they even played music I like (they ask you this on your registration paperwork). They took such great care of my teeth, walked me through everything, and just generally made me super comfortable. I am so thankful to have found such a great new dentist and recommend them to anyone :)

Amanda and Dr. Jana were AMAZING. I cannot stress enough how awesome my experience was. The front office staff was excellent and everyone is kind and has a wonderful sense of humor. Safe to say I love going to the dentist now that I have found this place. AND they know their stuff, not your run of the mill dentist office!

This was one of the friendliest and quickest dentist visits ever. I had a huge chip off my tooth and within 24 hours, my tooth was completely fixed and looks great. This will be my go to dentist office from here on out - the whole team was so kind and down to earth. So thankful for this place and the people they have working here.
