The serious problem I thought I had with a tooth turned out to be an easy fix that was quick, painless and reasonable. Dr Kraft is the best.

Super friendly. If you like music he always has something playing in the background. He will often sing along as well. He has a machine in the office to shape crowns so if you need a crown you don't have to have a temp crown on while the permanent one is being made. He knows what he is doing and recognizes that people often don't like going to the dentist. He actually makes the experience good. Not going to say great only because I still don't like a person drilling holes in my teeth. He is by far the best dentist I have seen.

There's never a long wait to be seen and the staff is great to work with. Brian is very knowledgeable and is wonderful at making you feel like he cares, instead of just being another patient he's seeing that day. I would highly recommend him for any treatment you need.

Dr. Kraft has wonderful bedside manner and takes the time to ease my concerns and answer all my questions, even when I'm sure I've kept him too long. He has been very knowledgeable and open-minded. I am doing Vivos with him for me and my son, and it has been a great experience. I drive a good distance (SLC to Payson) to come see him because I wanted only the best. I'm 7 months into the appliance and I'm really feeling and seeing the progress now! I can't wait to see and feel even more progress on this health journey. P.s. I've been told he does good tongue ties releases too! (not just "clips")

I have gone from not smiling to being able to smile. With porcelain crowns and implants, that has been skillfully created by Dr. Kraft, I have permanent teeth to enjoy for the rest of my life. Thank you.

They are friendly, Kraft was good with my 11 year old as she had her tongue clipped. She said the music helped. She liked that he was comfortable around her.

Dr. Kraft did good dental work and was very kind and caring. I just didn't love the atmosphere - I had some cavities filled and a tooth pulled, and during the whole thing he was singing country songs along with the radio. And he was obviously close to my head as he was working on my teeth so it felt like he was singing right into my ear. I wish I had brought headphones to listen to something of my own choosing while having dental work done, so that's on me, but I just didn't enjoy having my dentist sing to me while fixing my teeth. There were also a couple of different people that walked by, and he started chatting with them while working on my teeth. I didn't know if they were other patients or employees or what, but it made me uncomfortable. Getting to know their patients and making sure they are comfortable could definitely be higher on their priority list.

Dr Kraft is a really good dentist. I brought my kids in for a check up and they were a bit nervous. In just a few minutes, he had them talking to him and showing him their teeth. My kids enjoy going to the dentist because of Dr Kraft.

Dr. Kraft and his staff are awesome! We always are treated as people and they are good about getting us in and out. Dr. Kraft knows his stuff and I am so grateful he uses Vivos appliances so my son gets straight teeth as his permanent teeth grow in so he doesn't have to have braces later! He is a fun and cheerful dentist too, so it makes going to the dentist a positive experience!

Dr krafts is the only office in which I trust the whole staff to make my visit better . Dr krafts is extremely generous with his Time and took a shorter hunting day to come take care of my toothache . He fits me In when I'm Having a problem and explains things so you understand. I would drive hours to see him and his office if I had to . I have never had a bad experience here for me and my family . He is the best Sherri oliver

I've been to several dentists in town, and I found one that I thought I liked, but I became dissatisfied with a few things they did, and went back on the market. This place has been the best dentist in town by far. Wonderful people, great service, they even gave me a toothbrush for my little boy, and I didn't ask for it. Would definitely recommend.
