I love this place! They make me feel so welcome and are just awesome people. Dr. Tere Nelson rocks! Carrie, Carol and Ronda are absolutely wonderful as well. I feel comfortable and cared for every time I visit. I highly recommend them if you're looking to get your teeth healthy and looking great.

The most miserable and uncomfortable I have ever been in a dentist chair. I complained about my neck several times but nothing was done to make me more comfortable. I put them in never never land. Never call them again

5 gold stars for Dental Distinctions! This dental office has been great to me the past 7.5 years. They are professional, caring, witty and full of extra knowledge and wisdom that they are willing to share. Good information to help keep your teeth happy and healthy. Kudos to them all-Dr. Tere, Carol, Rhonda, and Carrie.

Wow!! I didn't think it would be possible to enjoy a trip to the dentist! I am new to the area and started looking for a dentist. I was blown away with how quickly they got me and my 2 girls scheduled and the amazing communication since. The staff is professional yet there is a casual energy in the office that makes you feel at home. It is clear that they are a team that truly cares about what they do and the patients they do it for. Oh, and my daughter loved that there was a dental-care dog, Wookie, in the office. :)

In the interest of full disclosure, I will first say that I generally love to go to the dentist. I've never had cavities, wisdom teeth or any unpleasant procedures at a dentist office. With that said, Dental Distinctions is my favorite dentist office ever. The staff is friendly, engaging and quite passionate about their work. That in itself is enough to make me happy, but in addition they have state of the art equipment to analyze the teeth and detect issues not only with the teeth and jaw, but also with the airways and tongue. They have helped me greatly with my sleeplessness and to eliminate my snoring. Dr. Nelson is knowledgeable on such a broad level of physical and mental well being she is a pleasure to be around and you feel like you are in the best hands. I wish I had more dental issues so I could visit them more often!
