As someone who avoided the dentist for nearly a decade because of massive anxiety, I can honestly say that my appointments with Gentle Dental have been a delight. The staff is extremely friendly and compassionate. On my first appointment, upon hearing how nervous I was, each staff member took the time to go over what we were going to do and the purpose behind each procedure. It was very educational, and it changed my whole attitude towards dentist appointments. The staff truly embody the name “Gentle Dental”, and I look forward to my next appointment.

THE GOOD: All of the staff here are wonderful but I need to say Dr. Kanter is exceptional. I have had many (bad) experiences in dentist offices over the years and was in fearful tears when I first met him. Dr. Kanter put my mind at ease and patiently worked with me always ensuring I was good and NUMB! Dr. Kanter gets 100 stars! THE NOT SO GOOD: The root canal procedure. I don't know the doctor's name but I will not have him work on me again if I can avoid it (especially after this review:) My biggest fear of dentists is having a sharp object poked into a bad tooth. (If you've ever had that done to you, you know what I am talking about.) So that's what he did. He was not very friendly either but in the end he did a good job on my tooth so mission accomplished.

Gentle Dental was amazing, staff all around was extremely nice and very happy to help any way they could. I have already given recommendation to my family and friends. Plus it’s easy to get to and snacks afterwards lol, please give them a try.

Super friendly, I was afraid to go to dentist until I went there. They are nice and informative. The doctor even called me 2 weeks later just to see how I'm doing. Already have my family in line to make a visit.

Dr. Sales is one of the best dentists I have ever had. As a child, I had the worst dentist a child could have. I was terrified of them to the point of shaking uncontrollably in the chair when I had to go due to unbearable pain. As a young adult, I maintained regular appointments, but I would have to take medicine to relax me prior to. Dr. Sales gave me a peace of mind and was sensitive to my issues. She is wonderful. Today I had to have a root canal done. The Endodontist, Dr. Harris Lakisic, was superb! He was able to do the root canal through an existing porcelain cap. It was quick and painless. I travel 30 minutes up the highway to get to the dentist, which is 25 minutes further than my past dentist. The quality of care is worth every minute.
Jan 26, 2019
Great customer service! So friendly. Very accommodating. I have a special needs son and they treated him like royalty. Dental hygienist was a pro and was so patient with him. It was his first cleaning so I had no idea how it would go. I would definitely recommend Gentle Dental.

This office always treats me with kindness and gentleness. They have fair prices even for those without dental 🦷 insurance. Always happy to visit the staff with a smile.

I'm 77 years old, I've had lots of Dental work done. My experience with this Dentist, is outstanding. One thing that bothers me, is the needle, I dident feel the needle at all, and i always feel that needel in the past. Plus the detail taken in the job.

I have nothing but good things to say about this place I actually went in 38 weeks pregnant and they took such great care of me so my process did take a little bit longer because of my pregnancy but everyone was so helpful and so accommodating. From when you get in the door, to all the staff they are so friendly. Dr. Sales does awesome work and I’m very happy with my procedure!

My daughter & I have been coming here for the last 3 years and They are the epitome of what it means to truly have gentle dental work done on your mouth! From the front to the back... the crew is top notch. Shout out to Robert for holding things down in the front with precise information for any and all of my questions/concerns. He is also phenomenal at making sure to follow up with you on appointments and what not. Also Marena (not sure if I spelled that right sorry) who joined the team recently is nice as well. Annette is a very solid performer when it comes to the dental hygienist side of things. Louann is by far the most hilarious dental assistant I've ever come across in my lifetime. She gives you a great laugh and keeps your spirits high all while doing great gentle work in the process. Then there is Hayley. She did my initial X-rays for some serious work that I just had performed. Very hard worker, eager to learn. She's been by my side through each & every one of my visits, rather it be a make up appointment or a big talk. Hayley is super dedicated and has your back all the way through & through. Lastly the dentist(s) whom perform all the "heavy lifting" so to speak. Dr. Kanter whom I've only engaged with once. Overall nice guy thus far and the Woman who has been blessed with the steady hands to help get the necessary work done that I came in for... Dr. Sales. I'm ever so GRATEFUL for her amazing patience and attention to detail. She is very Meticulous with her craft and damn good at it as well! Thank you so much doctor! Sincerely, Martell P. P.S. THANK YOU ALL SO SO MUCH GENTLE DENTAL MURRIETA!!! 😍🤗🤩😁
