I have been a patient at Gentle Dental for more than five years now - after moving to the area - and I have always been more than happy with the care there. From the front office staff to the clinical staff everyone is top tier. I'm always greeted by name by always friendly team members and always get in and out for my appointment efficiently and on time. Highly recommend Gentle Dental for all of your dental care.

I had a great experience at Gentle Dental. Dr Birdsall was very patient & kind. My hygienist Stevie was very gentle & thorough. The dental assistant Ashley was excellent & made sure I was comfortable. I no longer fear going to the dentist since I went to Gentle Dental.

Lizette is the best hygienist. She is always on target with dental issues. She is thorough, gentle, explains and discusses issue if needed. She’s the absolute best. Always on time as well. Thank you Lizette. Your care is much appreciated. And ps I love the water pic!!

I absolutely love Gentle Dental. They are kind and caring. So knowledgeable and have so much experience! I went to Lalor Dental first and what a nightmare. If I had them do what they wanted it would have been a disaster. Gentle Dental Rachel and Dr. Sylvestri are the best!!

They are hands down the best dental place I’ve ever been to. They don’t pressure you to make decisions, they don’t scold you about the state of your teeth. From the front office staff to the dental hygiene to the dentist they were very kind. I had to have a full extraction of all my bottom teeth, they made sure I was comfortable the entire time and took my concerns very seriously. I would recommend them to everyone! I honestly can’t say enough good things about them.
