I'm excited for once to go to the dentist! The entire staff is very friendly and Dr. Pulver is awesome! They explained everything, answered all my questions and eased my anxiety about the appointment. Highly recommend them especially if you have a fear of going to the dentist. Very clean office as well which is awesome.

BEWARE!!! Don't go here unless you plan on wasting money! I called to schedule an appointment for a cleaning and to have a problem I'd been having with my tooth addressed. I should of seen the red flags when payment was collected before any type of work was performed! I had some x-rays done and that was all for $284, no cleaning done! I was told they do things different there..LOL. I left with a long list of things that I'd have to come back for that totaled $6,500... Unreal. I hope this review will save others from the hard lesson I had to learn of spending $284 for a few x-rays!!! Oh, and the receipt has no explanation of what I paid for.

My experience was not fun or cheap. Had pain in a lower molar, said i needed a root canal and a cap. Had procedure done but pain was still there. Cost $6000. Wait, it gets better. Went to another dentist that said that tooth had a bad abscess. Had to pull my $6000 tooth. Do not recommend at all!!!

Family owned dental care. All the employees have been there a long time and really know their business. Very professional. I recently had a crown, two fillings and a deep cleaning. All went well. Recommend highly.

DO NOT GO HERE! Long story short, I was looking for a new dentist because I due for a cleaning and got new insurance. I also had a slight discomfort in my wisdom tooth that I wanted them to check out, but I had many issues with my experience here: 1. During my cleaning, he found 7 cavities. That is more than I've had in my lifetime. I was not provided X-Rays, and I took him for his word. He also had 4 cavities for my pregnant wife, who he laid flat on her back and on an angle, with her head lower than her shoulders and hips. 2. He wanted to pull my wisdom tooth due to the pain. Turns out, I just had a popcorn kernel lodged in between my teeth, and I was thankfully able to get it out and cancel my procedure beforehand. If not, I would be missing a tooth for no reason. 3. He filled all the cavities in one sitting. I was so numb that the lady at the front desk laughed at me because I couldn't even talk. 4. I was hit with the large bill at the office, immediately after the procedure. I wasn't notified of this policy. 5. The cavity work led to TMJ, the first, worst pain I've ever felt in my life until the second issue came later, which was even worse yet. I went to a different dentist to resolve the TMJ because I didn't trust Pulver to be able to fix it. It took several months, and a few visits to resolve, but there were a lot of prescriptions and sleepless nights due to the extreme pain I was in for weeks. 6. It eventually led to a root canal. The pain leading up to the root canal was indescribable. Years later and many, many bills later, I've wondered how much of that was even necessary. A "cavity" that led to TMJ and eventually to a root canal. Pulver is a young doctor, and I'm convinced that these problems were created unnecessarily. I don't know if students are taught to treat everything now, or if they are just more ambitious to pay off their loan. Whatever the case, I'm eternally grateful for my new dentist for helping me through the problems that Pulver created. My teeth are fine now, and finally back to how they were before my visit. I would never wish this experience on anyone and I would not recommend they go here.

EVERYONE here is amazing and kind! I usually hate going to the dentist, but the entire staff made me feel comfortable. I had some work done, had zero pain or discomfort. I am glad I made the switch to come here. Going to the dentist isn't so bad after all. Just had to find the right doctors!

I went to Pulver a few weeks ago for the first time because I recently moved to the area and they had good reviews. I was told I had 8 cavities that needed to be filled after having never had a cavity in my life. Luckily, I decided to get a 2nd opinion and that dentist (who was my previous trusted dentist but a long drive away) said I had one cavity and no sign of any others. I'm very glad I listened to my gut and didn't just trust Pulver. Additionally, I made the original appointment with Pulver for a cleaning and when I got there, they said the first appointment is a consultation and I'd have to come in another day to get my teeth cleaned. That seemed like a red flag to me because I've never been to a dentist that couldn't clean my teeth that day. I would not have gone in the first place if I had known they wouldn't clean my teeth. I later found out that some other people had similar issues with Pulver, being told that they have a large amount of cavities. If you are planning on going here, trust your gut. If something doesn't sound right, get a 2nd opinion.

When I first call for a consultation I was nervous. All the ladies who worked there made me feel very comfortable. Meet one of the dentist and went over my teeth and all possible work. We made a game plan. We all decided dentures was the way to go which I agreed with. I actually had all my teeth removed and 2 implants put in by a oral surgeon after that visit. After my surgery, both Pulvers and their staff were always there for me. Whenever I needed a adjustment or had questions they were there. The atmosphere is great there. Everyone is so helpful. I've always been nervous with dentists but not with them. They have helped me want to smile more

Took my daughter here for multiple issues with her teeth unfortunately I gave them the benefit of the doubt and after a couple botched dental procedures and a mistreated abcess I figured I'd leave this review...they are very unsure about their work and when confronted about it they will just refer you to some other dental practice on top of arguing with you about the concerns you have and make excuses about their botched work!!

I do not like going to dentists ever but I ended up having bad mouth pain and called Pulver's office to have them take a look at my teeth. They were very nice and professional. Any questions I had, they were able to answer. After options were discussed, I chose to go with the root canal option. Mouth is still a little numb since was done today but I'm looking forward to not having the pain that was being caused by the tooth. Will definitely be going back to them.

Great family owned practice. My husband, kids, and I have had such a great experience here. Recently, they fixed up my front teeth to look white again. They were stained and I needed front fillings. Now my teeth look brand new. I have had two crowns put in as well. They always ask how I am doing and if I'm in pain. They are such a family oriented practice and want to help you in the least painful experience as possible.
