Dr. Bingham is by far the kindest and most gentlest dentist I have ever seen! I have PTSD and am terrified of the dentist and he was so understanding and made sure I was doing ok several times during the procedure. Dr. Bingham THANK YOU so much!! Oh and I didn't feel a thing!

I’ve been going to this location for several years now and I love this office. I always see Dr Hamblin but this last time I saw Dr Bingham and he is every bit as good and professional as Dr Hamblin. I had to have the injection in the roof of my mouth and I swear to God, I hardly felt it. WOW is all I can say, that’s a first. And Melissa, his assistant, is just as awesome, very friendly, very detailed and very professional.

I’ve been coming to this office for two years now. They’re not a perfectly oiled machine, but everyone who works there gives 110%. Sometimes I wait longer than I want, sometimes they run out of water and you have to wait. Really these are minimal issues in relation to the amazing attitudes and personalities of the staff. I usually just get my teeth cleaned by Nedra, because her Dental is so Gentle. I recently got to work with Melissa, who really made me feel loved. She must be an awesome mom, because I felt like she cared about my comfort and experience. I don’t like dental work done on myself, I really am coming for the people here and how they make me feel.

I had a very good experience at Gentle Dental. The hygienist Nedra is very knowledgeable and VERY gentle. She did a very good job at making me feel comfortable and kept checking on me periodically to make sure that I was not in pain. Dr. Bingham is also a very good dentist and I was impressed at how fast and painless the procedure was. I am happy to say that I have found my new dental home. Thank you all!

I am so grateful because I thought I was lose this tooth but he was able to save it and for that I am so grateful. I have found a good dentist and i would recommend it to anyone and i will be returning for my follow ups!

I have had numerous procedures performed at this place. Every single visit I’ve had has been pleasant and pain free both in the chair and out. This most recent visit I had was actually fun. Never have I had fun at the dentist, but Melissa lightened up the whole situation and everyone here has a great sense of humor and very courteous and polite. Billing and payment has always exceeded my expectations and no surprises when I’m walking out the door. I will continue to give this location my business and recommend anyone I know. Thanks

This morning I had a temporary crown put in. I went home and had lunch. Afterword, I flossed my teeth...including the temporary crown! Of course, it came out. I drove back to the office and they got me right in - within 15 minutes. Melissa took care of me and was very efficient, pleasant, and friendly. Another person at this office who does a very good job is Alycia or Alicia. (Sorry, not sure of spelling) She is very organized and accurate with the billing for services rendered that day. ALL of the staff at this office are friendly, helpful, and professional. I have been going to this dental office for at least 15 years. This is the best assembly of staff I've seen.
