I had a wonderful experience. From first entering the building the receptionist was kind and helpful. Then onto the dental chair the dentist and RDA were gentle, kind and not in a rush to get me out. I only wish they could do the root canal I need. I will definitely be back. Thank you ladies!

I’m a first time user and happy of my choice. I made an appointment just to have my teeth cleaned but they needed to perform an exam first. This meant two appointments need to be made. I went to my appointment for the exam but had to wait Almost an hour because a family of four came in right before me that had the same appointment time. Rather than have me come back to my second cleaning appointment they cleaned me on the spot. Staff was very professional yet lighthearted which I admire.

I'm someone who is petrified of the dentist. Just coming for xrays was a test of strength, especially because this was my first visit, but for the first time I finally feel comfortable with a dentist. This is something I've waited a long time for. The doctor actually consulted Me regarding what I wanted done with my teeth. All prior dentists had never given me a choice in care. She's the first! I am so happy to have found Gentle Dental and look forward to actually finishing the work I so desperately need. The staff are fantastic, friendly and welcoming. If only I had discovered them sooner I'd already have my perfect smile back already!

What an amazing team in this dental office. From discussing coverage and costs to getting an actual appointment, Kristen was so helpful. I got in quickly as an appointment just happened to be available. I saw their oral surgeon Dr. Deyhim. She was literally so gentle. It was an easy and painless extraction of a molar. If an oral surgeon is needed, I highly recommend Dr. Deyhim and the whole team at Gentle Dental.

The whole staff is amazing ! Dr V is by far the best dentist I’ve ever had. Like everyone I don’t enjoy getting work done on my teeth but seeing these lovely ladies puts me at ease. Also Stephanie the dental hygienist/assistant, is very funny and sweet , as well as professional. I don’t know what it is about Stephanie but I trust her, and that’s huge because getting work done on your teeth is a scary thing. I think this pair of ladies work really well together. Lastly the receptionist/front desk associate, is a pleasure to talk to her name is Tracy. She makes sure to put all the information down that you need in order to not only understand what’s being done but also how much it will cost. There was a little miscommunication with something I was billed with incorrectly, and Tracy took care of it right away. She is patient and kind, and you can tell she wants to make sure you are well taken cared of. Good job ladies keep up the good work!
