I have always love coming to gentle dental. My daughter has braces through them as well. As someone who has always feared the dentist, they have always made us comfortable and listened to our concerns. They are always happy and pleasant and make us feel welcome. Maria in the front office is someone I interact with on each visit and she always greets us with a smile and helps us work out any issues.

As a new patient, I was very impressed with the facility and staff. From the moment I walked in, the receptionist made sure I had all the paperwork needed to start the visit, very streamed lined process; no wasted time. During X-rays, cleaning and filling, Dr and assistants were very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Office manager Lorena, provided me with a list of services provided by her office in addition to what I was getting done, although I did not get anything not covered by my insurance, she answered every question I had. I will be coming back to this office for all my dental needs.

When I first moved out to the high desert I had a real bad experience at a dentist office that made me feel humiliated amongst other things.i didnt see another dentist out here for 10 plus years. My teeth were in real bad shape by then. I heard about gentle dentle from a friend. They were so good and so friendly at gentle dental very professional I wish I would have heard about them soon er.even while giving me the shots to make me numb everytime the dentist told me I was doing really good it would calm me down...gentle dentle apple valley scary experience into something pleasant. Imagine that. I would recommend their services anytime to everyone

I had a great experience! Ive had a toothache for a couple weeks already and my own dentist wasn’t able to get me in until the end of June. Gentle Dental was able to get me in sooner and took care of my toothache situation. The staff was all polite and took their time explaining everything. I definitely recommend and will be returning.

I give this place 10 stars! I absolutely recommend coming here. DR. FU has got to be the most gentle dentist i think Ive ever encountered. He explains everything before he does it, he is awesome! His assistants, MELISSA & CALEB are excellent and very knowledgeable which helps make everything go smoothly. And the staff... I cant say enough positive things about them - JIMENA has given me first rate service from day one. She is professional, yet personable and always respectful - all the staff are amazing! I just cant say anything but positive about this place. There is no negative! These are wonderful, caring people and I sincerely recommend them to everyone!

Service was exceptional, began with a welcoming greet from the receptionist Jimena, made my visit very pleasant and efficient. Jimena always makes sure all my billing is in order and my appointments are met on time. The times she’s off during my visits are not as welcoming when I walk in the office. Happy patient overall!

Review №47

Had to deal with some of the most incompetent people here. Went to get x-rays done back in July and have been waiting to get a call back regarding my wisdom teeth removal. I didnt get a single call back and decided to call finally. I got a letter from my insurance saying it was denied because of lack of information. When I called, I let them know that it was denied for lack of information, and now theyre telling me that I have to pay out of pocket $1000+ because they dont know what information theyre missing to get an approval from the insurance. Going to get my wisdom teeth removed elsewhere on Wednesday. I just finished a 4 month process in a week. I hate this place, dont go here.

Took my daughter to an appointment here and had a scarf on for a mask. Never have had anyone complain about it ANYWHERE else I have been in the last year of Covid. I having breathing issues and it is something I can wear and feel like it doesnt cause issues. They brought me a mask and said they would rather me wear one of theirs...informed them that I am not able to where that kind of mask. I am wearing what I am able to! After seeing I was getting upset because it something beyond my control the manager offered a face shield! I asked her how is that possibly going to be any better than what I have on?...cant the virus go around the shield under the shield!?...at least what I have on is actually covering my mouth...so tired of being discriminated against! Also I went out to ask a question while my daughter was waiting before this came up and one of the ladys behind the desk didnt even have a mask on. She had it dangling from on ear hanging down!?...if this is for safety of everyone why does it not apply to them also? How is a shield safer than a scarf that actually covers my face...ridiculous! My other daughter wore the same scarf to the previous appointment and nothing was ever said to her...why did they wait for us to be there for 20-30 mins before deciding this today?...didnt in 20-30 minutes time before anything was said germs could have been spread!?...

We moved during orthodontic treatment due to the military, now we have to pay twice what we paid to fix what they did to my childs mouth. Weve been waiting on their pro-rated refund for over 3 months. Phone calls dont get returned and hold times on the phones are 20+ min. Would not recommend. Wish I could give a negative star review.

If I can give 0 stars I would please don’t go here don’t waste your time it’s a horrible place and they are overpriced they try to get money out of you every way possible it’s sad how much money my husband and I paid for their poor work! Extremely disappointed I had recommended this place to my whole family but after I told them about my experience they are no longer going here don’t want them to be treated the same way I was! Remember they don’t care about the patient they only look for excuses to make money!

Made me fill out paperwork outside in 100 degree heat, was waiting for half hour past my appointment before I just left. The lady on the phone said no mask required, then when i get there without a mask they said i couldnt go back without a mask on. They need to give out the correct information on the phone.

The front desk team was amazing in helping me get to the dentist I needed to talk to with me being overseas. however the dentist in question is the reason for this one star my wife came in trying to get a screening done and the dentist wasnt hearing her on her attempts to clarify the information that he did not understand. what then become of that was he talked to my wife in such a way no one should be talked and with my daughter present. He owes my wife and daughter an apology, it my sincere hope that the owner will contact me after writing this review.

This dentist office is DISGUSTING. They tried to give gauze without the proper sanitary measures, their work stations are repulsive, and not only that but they cant even do their jobs right. Theyve messed up my sisters crown from her root canal and now has to get it COMPLETELY redone. Their dentists are mean and dont listen to the patient when they say they are in pain. I am NEVER coming back here and you shouldnt either.

Office staff is amazing. Very nice and are straight forward no complaints about them. If I could give just the staff a 5 star I would. The Dentist on the other hand I feel is very unprofessional. I signed in at 2 and didn’t leave till 5 due to the dentist was on the phone the whole time (I have a lot of patience). He came in for a total of maybe 5 minutes was very short and talked to the back of my head the whole time. Hopefully when I go back I can see a different provider.

I am thoroughly impressed with my last visit for a cleaning. This wasnt the case with me previous visit. The dentist who treated me this time was meticulous and thorough--thorough to the point of including a threader for the flossing tape I use, along with other little items. I think this visit is probably the best treatment Ive ever had from a dentist. I hope Im treated by her from now on.

Review №86

I came because my child had a cracked tooth and they did not take x rays and the dentist looked at it for about two seconds and recommended a root canal. They did not clean his teeth, they are not sure how to deal with children. Outdated equipment and a strangely large waiting room with old and run down childrens area. We went to My Kids Dentist where they have modern equipment and are amazing with kids. We got x rays and correctly diagnosed his cracked tooth and the right treatment which was pulling the tooth not a root canal. They are not good with kids at Gentle Dental and diagnose without even finding the problem. Will not return.

Outrageous hidden charges. Have been to this dental outlet, owed nothing in charges as I pay my charges on site before I leave the facility. All of a sudden started getting outrageous fraudulent bills that I owe, I called and was told it didn’t show from their system that they were gonna rectified that with their accounts and get back to me but never did. I continued calling but they started avoiding me all for them to send me threats to send my billing to collections which can affect my credit score. This was a clear ripoff and a rogue charges. Will never recommend them as they will never be sincere with their payments and charges.

My mother went in and they broke her tooth and told her they were not going to fix it unless she pays. This dentist is a horrible dentist. So bad that I dont even feel safe to go in and get my infected tooth fixed I am paying cash to go somewhere else. They will most likely be hearing from my family lawyer. I know accidents happen in the medical field being that Im in it but the way it was handled was completely wrong.
