⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had an excellent experience at Gentle Family Dental Care and am so glad I found this office. I’ve been specifically looking for a dentist with long-term, knowledgeable, and polite staff, and this practice truly delivers.
My dental hygienist, Alyssa, was outstanding. She spent over an hour thoroughly cleaning my teeth and was extremely professional, pleasant, and attentive. What meant a lot to me was how kind and patient she was with my daughter, who was with me during the visit—that level of care really stands out.
The front desk staff were friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about insurance and procedures, making everything easy and stress-free. The dentist was quick, polite, and spot-on—efficient yet thorough.
It’s rare to find a dental office where every interaction is this positive. I highly recommend Gentle Family Dental Care to anyone seeking a trustworthy, high-quality dentist with an experienced, caring team.

Every one in building was extremely patient and kind. I went in for a cleaning and walked out with a couple bonus fillings because they had a cancelation and I needed them. They really do cater to cowards, lol. I identify as a coward for the record and felt very comfortable with the entire experience. They explained every step and checked on me often to make sure I was comfortable. Highly recommend for all dental needs!

I normally have horrible anxiety going to the Dentist, but everyone made me feel welcome and comfortable. Talked me through everything before they did anything to me. I would give them 10☆`s if that was available. I recommend, that if you're reading this compliment for Gently Family Dentistry go there, you will not be disappointed. Even the atmosphere is very relaxing. Top notch care from all the staff!

This morning they got me right in and took care of me. Mason was awesome. He was polite and courteous. He made my daughter and I very comfortable and he helped me tremendously with the best cost effective measures to help me. Thank you Mason. I have been with this office for over ten years and I will continue to be with them because they always help me and the Gentile staff is always super kind to me. Thank you so much. You guys are the best

They have been very understanding and non-judgmental. They have a few payment options they offer and don't seem to get annoyed if you ask 100 questions.
Super great find for me and my anxiety. As my husband was finishing his appointment they asked if i wanted to go ahead and get checked out too as they had an opening. I'd mentioned making an appointment earlier. I decided to go ahead and be seen not realizing they were closing within an hour.
Pretty sure one of the staff noticed my anxiety flaring up as she was doing my basic exam. At the end of my appointment she made sure I was scheduled with her personally for my next appointment. We left 30 minutes after close and only realized after we got home.
