I'm probably their target audience. I dread the dentist and selected Riverstone because their description reads like they will provide prescriptions for people like me who fear the pain. I just finished my 5th appointment. I've had 2 cleanings, a filling, a crown, and scaling done. A lot of work because I hadn't been to a dentist for 10 years. So far its been all positive experiences. They numb enough so I don't even wince, there no pain and I haven't had to ask for anything extra (no nitrous or anti anxiety meds) . The dental hygienists that have worked on me all seem sincere in their good moods and all have done great work. They explain all the technical BS if you're the type to ask questions. I can't comment about how they are with kids, but each chair has a TV and headphones so you can choose to zone out while they get work done (you can choose the movie/series).
In summary, I'd definitely recommend this clinic. I don't dread going there, which was my default mood for the dentist.

Had implants done here and couldn't have been more happy with the results, not to mention that it was also the most pain-free experience I've ever had at a doctor I could hardly feel it when I was getting the shots. I was dreading the appointment at first but after I left I knew that I would never go anywhere else when I need dental work done. Highly recommend and I'm very thankful

Professional staff and excellent dental care! I've had many dentists over the years and Riverstone Dental is the best by far. They've taken out the fear of going to the dentist for me. I highly recommend them!

I was nervous to go back to a dentist after years. All the staff i interacted with was amazing, kind & compassionate! The hygienist was very thorough, empathetic & made me feel in good hands. The Dr was nice although I didn't get to interact with him much yet, but I love it didn't feel like a 'smelly, stuffy get you in & out, now pay us' dentist office I've been used to. Happy to have found them and go back.

Meet the Doctors
RiverStone Dental is led by Dr. Craig C. Christian, DDS, and his son Dr. Ezra C. Christian, DDS. Dr. Craig founded the practice in 1981 and has a longstanding focus on the connection between oral health and whole body health, including biocompatible dentistry and mercury amalgam removal. Dr. Ezra has pursued training beyond his dental education in advanced procedures so that patients can receive services in one office that might otherwise be referred elsewhere, and the website notes that he will take over the practice when Dr. Craig chooses to retire. Both doctors direct the practice's implant cases at every stage.
