Holistic dentistry, also referred to as conservative dentistry and biological dentistry is a form of preventive dental care that prioritizes the health and healing of your natural smile.

the staff was extremely friendly and professional. they got me in the chair right on time, I appreciate that they realize that my time is valuable aswell! they got right to the point they made sure I knew my options and were willing to take any time necessary to go over any concerns I had. I also appreciate the fact that they didn't try to upsell me on services that weren't needed.

Second very deep cavity filled. I go there for the natural dentistry and I leave without any pain. How is that possible? It doesn't feel like I got a very deep cavity filled. At all!!! No pain after the numbness wears off. No mouth or jaw pain for days afterwards like other dentists. If I didn't live through it and if my tongue didn't noticed the different feel to the tooth, I'd have no clue it ever happened. These guys are awesome!!!

A compassionate and attuned human who is also a dentist?! What's not to love? I also appreciate his conservative philosophy on dental care.

Our experience was very positive. My daughter usually experiences extreme anxiety at the dentist. Dr. Z was very good at keeping her calm and listening to her when she needed to have adjustments. Everything went very smoothly.

Seriously the BEST experience! I was actually driving by on my way to a different dentist & saw "Natural Dentistry". I don't think my car could stop fast enough. I'll not bore you with all the details, but I was needing an extraction & implant-same day, if at possible. I felt like everyone went above & beyond to get me in as quick as possible & make it happen. Not only will I be back, but I will recommend to anyone who will give me the time of day! Love love love this place! Dr Z is incredible in his professionalism & his SO DOWN TO EARTH soul. He was made to do this! I felt relaxed & at ease the entire time. I feel incredibly blessed to have found this place!

This is a wonderful practice. Staff is great, both dentists are great. I have been a patient here for 7 years, had all the normal things done like fillings, had my mercury removed, and had a tooth removed and implant put in. Everything perfectly smooth.

I was looking forward to my appointment. However, I had the worst experience. Not with the dentist but with his office staff. If you are a few minutes late to your appointment they start calling and harassing you about being late. I was stuck in traffic no they told me if I didn't arrive in the next 5 minutes they were going to cancel my appointment. What? For being 10 minutes late? They also called my husband's number. So they start calling any other family members phone number they have on file. Kinda like Scientology. Then some desk worker started yelling at me when I arrived scolding me about being late and arriving on time and just "letting me know" they would be canceling my appointment. (Scientology) If you want to be harassed and scolded every time you see the dentist then this is the place for you. How many times have I sat in the lobby waiting for them?

If I could give them ten stars I would. I have never had such kind and friendly service getting my teeth worked on before. The office was clean and inviting. The front desk staff do not rush and really do not treat you like a number. The dentist himself was honest and insightful and had great knowledge for what I was needing. Best in town!

I absolutely love Northwest Natural Dentistry, there is nothing negative that I can say about my experience, this was my first time in and from the moment you walk in you feel very welcome! My Hygienist Kate was AMAZING I have never had my teeth feel so clean, she is so sweet and does an awesome job. There aren't enough good things to say about this office 10 out of 10 would recommend to all of my family and friends.

I'm sharing my experience with Northwest Natural Dentistry after one visit. We called to make an appointment because a broken tooth was causing pain. We had previously been patients at another dentist. And while we loved our previous dentist, we were looking for a dentist who was a little closer to where we currently live. They made room in their schedule for my emergency visit. The office was very nice and the staff very friendly and helpful. This is especially important to a guy who is a little bit "dentist nervous". Dr. Harker was very kind, did a great job explaining to me what was going on and was very open to questions. My first visit was a very good experience. This combined with the fact that my wife has had a great experience during her 3 previous visits had led us to choose Northwest Natural Dentistry to be our new family dentist.

I've been coming to Dr Cory Harker for dental work for a couple of years. They have always been courteous and done good work, but today I got an unexpected pleasant surprise. I went in to have a discolored tooth checked. Because they had forgotten to follow up with me on it, they did not charge me for the visit or x-ray, which they easily could have charged me for. I really appreciate their good care and straight dealing. If you are in need of a dental specialist who does white fillings, or want a kind Dr and a low stress experience, I highly recommend Dr. Cory and Dr. Z. You won't regret it!

Love this office. Dr Z is great and easy to talk to. His assistant Jennifer goes above and beyond as well and is FANTASTIC. The two front desk girls are also wonderful and accommodating. Glad I found this gem!
