I'm so grateful for your dedication to your patient's care, listening to concerns/fears and your upmost professionalism. For me, a very dire situation turned into to an experience that is providing me with quality of life improvements through the highest level of dental procedures provided by Dr Olaru and his staff.

Do your research! Dr Olaru and his team (Bailey and Nissa) are the best you will find. Hands down! I have been in the dentist and oral surgeons chair many times throughout my life, starting with an accident I had when I was in fourth grade. Since then, I have had 3 front implants, gum grafts, root canals, teeth extractions, caps and much drilling. My mouth needed expert care with someone I could trust to be honest with me about what I needed. I had several consultations prior to going to Mountainside Oral. All of them said they would do whatever I wanted and provided me with an estimate of cost and zero education and consultation about the procedure or my specific concerns. When I first went to visit Dr. Olaru he thoroughly examined my mouth, took extensive pictures and X-rays. He consulted with a highly educated surgeon in California and he took his time to discuss my specific concerns and options. He showed me on a TV screen as he explained everything thoroughly. I knew after our meeting that I wanted him to be the one working in my mouth. My case was complicated and needed special care from someone who had integrity and would provide top quality! For over a year he worked on my mouth and he always made me feel secure and confidant. His entire team has been so nice, I actually liked going in for a visit. They did not hurry the procedure, the concern was longevity, assuring everything was secure and cosmetically uniform! I have 4 prosthetics, upper and lower back quadrant. I can eat anything I want now! They now feel like my own teeth. I am very happy with my entire experience and am so glad I chose Dr. Olaru and his team! Your mouth and teeth are so important to your health and confidence! Mountainside Oral listens to your needs and gives you top quality! Choose Dr. Olaru and you will not be disappointed. Don't waste your time with the surgeons or cooperate cash cows that tell you what you want to hear. When you choose Olaru and his team, you choose the best and they treat you like gold! Bailey and Nissa are wonderful additions to the team! I love them! (by the way ...I am a tough critic!)

I recently had an exceptional experience at Mountainside Oral Care, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! From the moment I walked in, Bailey, Nissa, and Dr. Olaru made me feel completely at ease. They took the time to thoroughly answer all my questions, ensuring I felt confident and informed before my procedure. The surgery itself was a breeze, thanks to Dr. Olaru’s expertise and the team’s seamless coordination. I was amazed at how little pain I experienced in the days following—practically none! The post-op care was outstanding, with the team checking in and providing clear, supportive guidance every step of the way. Their bedside manner is truly top-notch, blending professionalism with genuine warmth. A surprising bonus was the weight loss! After four weeks of blended food, I shed 13 pounds and feel like I’m glowing. It’s been a hidden gem of this journey, and I couldn’t be happier with how I look and feel. Mountainside Oral Care is a phenomenal practice, and Bailey, Nissa, and Dr. Olaru are an incredible team. If I could give them 10 stars, I would! I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional oral care.

I have complete confidence in Dr. Olaru . He is highly skilled and does beautiful work. I enjoy going to his office because it is such a positive atmosphere. I had a relatively new technique done on my receding gums and my teeth look wonderful. Dr Olaru is the best!

My experience at Mountainside was excellent! Coeur d’Alene is lucky to have Dr Olaru! He explains everything well, made me comfortable for my procedure, was gentle and caring and even followed up to make sure I was doing alright the following day! Truly a great team at Mountainside.
