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!

Dr Adashek was amazing. He did a great job of reassuring me when I was nervous about the procedure. He made sure that I was comfortable and understood everything that was happening. I would definitely recommend him!

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!

BEST perio scaling and planing ever, from Sheila. Used numbing gel instead of injections, with her 40 years experience i was done in less than an hour all 4 quads! She made sure I was safe, comfortable and well educated. Best dental experience of my life.

I was pretty nervous to take my two girls and 8 week old to the dentist by myself. My girls and I needed our teeth cleaned and I didn't want to leave the baby home. I had an awesome experience. The staff treated my girls (6 and 4) so sweet, they are actually excited to go back. They made time after my teeth cleaning to not only get 2 fillings done but to find me a room to let me feed my baby in beforehand. At the end the receptionist even came and held my baby while they finished my filling because he was getting upset. They took a situation that could have been so hard and stressful and made it a breeze. So grateful for this office!! Thank you!

been there three times and was very pleased ever time. the staff is friendly and answered all my questions. Gave me my total before my next visit so there would not be any surprises. I was happy with the way my cleaning went. I have to have a tooth pulled and they staff and doctor walked me through the process. Explained what will be done and gave me the total of the surgery. There prices are very reasonable and will apply any discount they can that is offered by my insurance. I will def be back and will recommend them to everyone I know!!

I read a lot of reviews before going and, to be honest, was concerned based on what I had read. The good news is that I couldn't have been happier. I had to see the periodontist, Dr. Adashek. He and his assistant, Leslie, were the best I have ever encountered. They were professional, clean, straightforward and honest. The doctor performed the exam himself rather than having someone else do it (a first for me), and he spent an inordinate amount of time with me discussing my situation. The other folks at this office were also tremendously patient, professional and kind. Sam and Kristin were very helpful. Dr. Hamblin spent time with me as well, looking over everything and making recommendations. For someone that hates and fears the dentist, I couldn't have been happier. I hope to these doctors going forward. I've found a "dental home"!!

I have had several procedures done at Gentle Dental and am very pleased with their treatment. I have had my teeth cleaned several times, 2 cavities filled, 1 tooth pulled and 3 crowns and have had absolutely no problems. I do request the same dentist every time, Dr. Hamblin. He is very good at what he does, very gentle, explains everything in advance and is always very pleasant. The office staff is also very nice and quite knowledgeable. Cheryl Anderson Phoenix, AZ.
