I am a new resident to both Nevada & Reno. Gentle Dental was recommended to me by a close friend, and it turrned out to be a real find! I was able to request a next day appointment using their website; and on the day of service, I was able to receive both my intake exam AND my semi-annual teeth cleaning. Best of all, the entire staff from the desk adminstrators, dental hygentist, their assistant, and the Doctor were welcoming, professional, jovial and put me immediately at ease. I'd HIGHLY recommend them if you don't have a dental provider or if you want to change providers.

My experience here was amazing! I had Cigna HMO and the dentist who was supposedly in network couldn't do my root canal so I had to get referred. Gentle Dental Reno South got me in next day! I waited longer at a different office for crowns (took them over 3 weeks) than I did for the root canal. The staff was knowledgeable about my insurance and they made me feel so much better. They will now be my primary dentist office! I really won't go anywhere else. The whole staff has been awesome!

Gentle Dental South Reno is wonderful! ALWAYS there when I need something, and I'm a fairly needy patient :)! Always need a wire trimmed on my braces, and or something Ortho related! Corinne, Bernadette, Jeanette, everyone is Extremely accomodating, and kind. Dr. Nathan Lewis took excellent care of me when I needed an immediate root canal. Spotted the problem, within minutes I was taken care of, and out the door! I cant say enough great things about Gentle Dental South Reno!

Always "A+"! We've been coming here for several years. Two sets of braces, and cleanings. Always fast, friendly.... very friendly, professional care. All employees greet you like family, with a smile and pleasant demeanor. I've had to pop in on many occasions, to have a wire cut, or something else related to braces. They welcome me at anytime. They squeeze me right in, to take care of my issue. Even the receptionist, who is also a seasoned hygienist, paused her lunch break to take me back and clip a poking wire. So nice. I'm very appreciative, and would recommend GDRS.

I got my braces from this place about a year ago and every time I go for my appointments everyone is super nice and friendly. They also worked really well with my insurance I will probably keep coming here even after I get my braces off for cleanings.

Let me just start by saying that I have seen other dentists in the Reno/Sparks area and I have to say that this is the only practice I will ever go to. They work with your insurance without any issues, they will be honest when giving you an estimated price, and they are professional and caring. Dr. Lewis is very good about making sure that you are comfortable and he is extremely honest about your options. I had work done at Absolute Dental (AKA little shop of horrors) and my crown broke and my tooth did too, but Dr. Lewis got me in on an emergency basis, laid out my options, and got the procedure done quickly and painlessly. I will again say that I have been seen here a few times and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dentist who is knowledgeable and affordable. As far as price goes, I would say that their prices are about 30-50% less than other dentists I have seen.

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Lewis for about 6 years or so now. We both needed some pretty extensive work done because neither of us had seen a dentist in 30+ years. The work that Dr. Lewis and his staff have done for us initially was extensive and completed well over time and though expensive we were blessed that Dr. Lewis was able to save the teeth we had left from further damage. We both love going there regularly for our cleanings and checkups. Now that we go regularly, we have had no further problems with our teeth, i.e., no cavities or any further need for work to be done other than the cleanings. We are treated very well by every single person with whom we come in contact with there every time we go. The office staff and Dr. Lewis are all very professional and very friendly and very knowledgeable and certainly appear to us to care very much about our dental health. The facility is state of the art in our opinion, very clean and neat in appearance, and the service provided us was and continues to be excellent. Dr. Lewis is patient and very gentle with us, especially my husband who has always had super sensitive teeth/gums and for the first 6 years required numbing just to have his cleanings done; however, the sensitivity problem has finally been alleviated and he no longer has to be numbed up to have his teeth cleaned and I believe this is because of the doctor being able to return his teeth and gums to a healthy condition. To me, this is nothing short of a miracle. We would highly recommend Gentle Dental at 800 S. Meadows Pkwy #100 to anyone. I have recommended them to many of my own friends and my husband mentioned that he has recommended them to two of his friends. We are very happy patients of Dr. Lewis and his staff.

I had a bad experience with a dental practice back in 2005, so since then I've neglected to go to a dentist since. A few months ago I was experiencing some pain in one of my teeth (cavity) so I went in and got it checked out. I had my appointment scheduled for two weeks in advance. I had two cavities on my teeth that needed to get taken care of. Now, I HATE needles, with a passion. I've hated them since a child, and I was not looking forward to the shot, just seeing the needle makes my heart skip a beat, but the pain from my tooth needed to go away. I went in there, (this morning actually) and was in and out within 30 minutes. I was surprised! I didn't feel the needle at all, just a little pressure, then he let it sit for a few minutes, came back, did some drilling, filled it, and I was out. I also still have my wisdom teeth, and Dr.Lewis made an offhand remark about how they fit in my mouth and that I won't need to get them removed, and that my oral health was really good considering I hadn't gotten a cleaning in almost ten years. Best dental experience ever, 10/10 would come back again.

I've been going here for the last 7 years or so, since I moved to Reno. The dental hygenists that I've encountered have all been pretty pleasant, and the dentist that I've been seeing has been very nice and professional. I've only had to have one filling in the time I've seen them, and they were able to schedule me right away. I had to reschedule my last check up because I wasn't feeling too well, and the receptionist was extremely helpful in rescheduling me for the next week. My insurance is pretty good; I don't have to pay anything when I get my regular checkups done, and I only pay a portion of any additional work done. The office manager/check out staff has always been able to give me an accurate estimate of what additional services would cost. No one likes to pay for these things, but they will at least work with you. Several people that work with me also go to Gentle Dental and have had positive experiences as well.
