Cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Anderson and his team. They got me in quickly, as I have TMJ issues, rapidly took casts of my mouth and had me fitted for an orthotic retainer. Dr. Anderson came in on Christmas Eve to deliver and fit my retainer. I am forever indebted to him and the folks at Gentle Dental.

I switched dentist to Dr. Anderson about a year ago. I absolutely love Kalee, his hygienist. She has been my hygienist where ever she goes, but I think she's settled in with Dr. Anderson now! I have had considerable work done in the last year and I've been happy with how efficient and caring Dr. Anderson is. His dental assistant, Tracy, is so concerned about my comfort and what I might need. She is definitely a wonderful assistant and works so well with Dr Anderson.

This dental practice is a scam! I went here a couple of months ago and they told me I had gum disease that was so severe they couldn’t clean my teeth that day, and that I also had an abnormal bacteria in my mouth that would lead to my teeth rotting out. They then said I needed to come in two different appointments, each two hours, for a “deep cleaning” that cost $1300 dollars. They used scare tactics to make me think my teeth were going to fall out! Growing up, my dad was a dentist and something didn’t feel right, so I got a second opinion in Montrose and my teeth are fine! I got a normal cleaning for a normal cost from an honest dentist. She said my teeth were excellent and she was impressed at how good they looked after not having a cleaning for two years (because there are no good honest dentists in the Gunnison valley!). Do not go here, and at the very least get a second opinion. These people are after your money only, not looking out for your dental health!

Another great check up. The staff a General Dental have been awesome. Use to avoid the Dentist until 30 years ago. Randomly went to see Scott and his staff an explained my negative experiences at the Dentist. After some reassurance he started me on a plan to repair my damaged teeth. He worked out a long range plan that wound up with a couple of implants along the way and fit my budget. Would highly recommend making an appointment, I’ve found my teeth were one of the best investments I’ve made going into retirement. Thanks 👍

Really enjoyed the woman up front and the dental assistant was sweet and caring. The dentist was amazing very professional when he started working on removing my wisdom tooth. Was very impressed with his work on my first tooth removal
