Hands down the best dental experience I’ve ever had. The hygienist was kind, funny, and warm. She spent more time with me than anyone in my 30+ years of getting my teeth cleaned twice a year. And the doctor visit is something else entirely. At most practices, the dentist pops in at the end of your cleaning for 60 seconds, says “yep, looks good,” and walks out. Here, you get a full, separate 30-minute appointment dedicated just to time with the doctor. Nobody feels rushed. They’re present, genuinely kind people who treat you like a person, not a number. It feels like an old-school patient-provider relationship, not a transaction.
The office has a warm, small, mom-and-pop feel, and I’d recommend them to anyone.
Some constructive feedback though: the receptionists are pretty withdrawn and unfriendly. Being acknowledged when you come in the door would help the office feel more friendly. But everyone in the back is genuinely awesome. 10/10

Dr. Owens and the entire staff at Animas Dental are exceptional. In 60+ years of cleanings, Debbie is the best Dental Hygienist I have ever visited. A good listener, she is friendly, compassionate, and extremely thorough with efficient cleaning techniques. In addition, she takes the extra time to help me with my home care regimen which has made a positive difference in the health of my teeth and gums. I highly recommend Animas Dental Associates.

I was treated very poorly by the staff. The story starts with the temp crown falling out twice before the permanent crown was put in. It was difficult and unpleasant for them to accommodate me for putting the temp back in. Then, an issue with the insurance co and their contracted amount. They made me pay for the service upfront then get refunded post claim. I choose care credit to pay. Upon agreeing to a full refund, they shorted me $207 due to some fee. I called care credit and there’s no such fee. Apparently now that I’ve made a stink they are paying in full not without making me feel beat up. Then I was accused of being rude to the staff.
Not nice to have experienced such distain. I will never set foot in that office again. Besides, I’m not welcome there again Miss Carla told me . I’m hoping the permanent crown doesn’t fall out, for I only have a 30 day emergency grace now that they fired me as a patient.

The dentist is great. The receptionist is rated under one star. She never checked with my insurance provider after two phones from me. She didn't act like she cared and said she was too busy.

The staff at Animas Dental is understanding, considerate and kind. They take time to listen and understand their patients. They are patient and take the time to explain and educate their patients. Dr Owens is equally kind, patient, understanding and takes time to listen. They are the absolute best with children. They meet kids where they are and provide education at their level of understanding. They are personable and I highly recommend this dental group. The way the injections are animated before procedures are the least uncomfortable I have experienced in dental care. These oral injections are nearly pain free.
