I absolutely loved my trip to Bear River Dental. My hygienist Erinne was outstanding. She was so friendly and has a very gentle touch. Dr. Lester was also super friendly and welcoming. I can’t recommend they enough!

We love Bear River so much! They make my kids feel so comfortable and take all the time needed . They explain everything very well and are just super personable. Everything about our visit is always top notch! They don’t do things that are not necessary and they include you in everything and decisions about the treatment plan. Dr. Owens is great with kids! I’m sure the others are too but Dr. Owens is the only one we’ve seen and he is so patient and great w kids. The hygienists are all great too!

I’ve been going to Dr. Lester since I was little. I am always so blown away by how amazing everyone in that office is. Especially know that I’m older and can understand just how much they do for their customers. As long as I can help it, I’ll never go to a different dentist

My experience at Bear River Dental has always been excellent! The new hygienist, Erinne was kind, friendly, and efficient. Dr. Lester was warm, caring, and gentle as he has always been since he opened his practice.When my “twenty-something” kids were very young, they always had a pleasant experience with Dr. Lester, which was huge, as they had previously been to a pediatric dentist because they were both quite upset about dentistry in the beginning.The front office staff was also super cheerful and helpful.

Great dentist with lots of new technology! Very up on current research and new information. I have never had pain with any procedure, they are super aware of their patients’ comfort. My 8 year old son loves going and he’s had cavities, caps, and a tooth pulled. They have never hurt or scared him. We have been going here for years and will continue, we love them!

Our family has been going to Bear River Dental for over 3 years. The staff has always been very friendly, accommodating, and professional. Our children have never complained about going to the dentist and I relate that to their calm and caring atmosphere. Recently, we had an incident that needed immediate attention. Dr. Lester and his staff got us in right away and fixed the issue. I would highly recommend Bear River Dental to all.

Review №28

Dr Lester did an outstanding job today working on my daughter’s mouth. She went in for a cavity & she also had a very bad tooth ache on a different tooth that was actually an abscess tooth that will need a root canal. He was very caring & gentle with her. He drained part of the infection and filled her cavity and she was already feeling so much better within an hour of leaving. He was very thorough explaining everything to me and answered all my questions and concerns. I even got a follow up phone call from an assistant tonight checking up on my daughter & how she was feeling.Although she cried from the pain & hated what was being done she said that he was so nice & caring & very gentle. She loves seeing him & all the nice assistants too.Every one at Bear River Dental goes above & beyond what is expected for service and I would definitely recommend them to anyone, there isn’t another place I would take my girls they are excellent with kids. We absolutely love this place.

Oddly, I look forward to my appointments because it is more like visiting family then a visit to the doctor. Dr. Nate is always open to my preferences and accommodating, as is true for his entire staff.I guess the best way to sum it up is that only yesterday I was talking with a friend who had also just been to see his dentist. In the course of the conversation I recommended Bear River dental and relayed to him that Dr. Nate and his staff are the best I have ever been served by.

I appreciate all the good-natured staff at BRD and especially Dr. Lesters willingness to explain how he analyzes any possible problem I might have.I came back yesterday (6/21) with a minor complaint of pressure sensitivity in one tooth and Dr. Lester figured out I had a fractured tooth and bad filling. I was on my way in an hour with a new filling all on very short notice to their office. Very reasonable price too with my insurance plan.Wait till you need a crown and see their amazing technology. Unbelievable.

Everyone here cares very much about the comfort and experience for the patient. Anything you ask for they receive with the best care possible. Even if you do not want to speak up the dentists will constantly ask how you’re doing during their work and overall every single person here always has a positive attitude towards their job and the patients they are working for.

This dentist office was awesome! I was impressed with how they interacted with my 7 year old before and after she had her tooth pulled. They were so good with her. In the past she has been a nervous wreck going to the dentist, but here everything went smoothly! Everyone was super kind and the financial side of things was figured out and explained in full before anything was done, which I appreciated. I also really like that they use nitrous gas instead of doing more scary/ risky versions of anesthetics.

Saturday night and my son broke his tooth by hitting his mouth on the monkey bars. I contacted their after hours number and Dr. Lester met us out at the clinic at 9:30 at night. He got him fixed back up. Very great full for this clinic and Dr. Lester and the staff that came in to assist and the on call lady who got us taken care of can’t say enough positive things about this place!

Review №57

Dr. Lester has been our dentist since he began practicing in Evanston, Naturally weve not sought out any other dental professional since. We ran into hard times that prevented us from staying current on my daughters orthodontist visits at bear river dental which disqualified us from the insurance coverage. I canceled all further appointments because I could not afford to pay what the insurance denied. A month or so later I got a call from their office personnel and they had informed me they had found a way to complete my daughters dental plan and get the insurance to cover what I owed as well as the rest of the visits until her braces were removed which i could not even get a response from the insurance provider myself. Honestly I was shocked, never had any service provider Ive dealt with over the years ever gone out of their way to seek resolve to a financial debt thAt I OWED THEM in order to ensure my daughters best interest was prioritized over any financial obligation owed... Now my daughters dental work is being completed and I dont have a crippling dollar figure I have to rob a bank in order to cover it.. I dont know what made them go the extra mile in order to accommodate my budget but my family and I are extremely and sincerely grateful for everything they have done and I wouldnt recommend any other place to get honest, quality, professional dental work performed that you wont regret later.. to the whole Bear River Dental team my family and I would like to say Thank you!! A million times over!!

Being an out of town traveler for over half the year, it sometimes becomes necessary to address a medical emergency. Not being from the area I usually work in, it can be a challenge to select a provider. Thankfully I chose Bear River Dental with Dr Lester and his staff. Their professional and compassionate attention to a traveling patient was much appreciated.

Review №82

I’ve gone to this dentist my entire life and here’s what I have to say about it. The staff is very friendly and I personally think they do the best job at cleaning teeth. However, their fillings could use some work. I’ve never had problems with fillings up until recently. They filled in a cavity on the side of my tooth, and every now and then I have to go get it refilled because it doesn’t hold. I’m unsure if it’s because of the location of the filling or something else, but they can never seem to get it right.Secondly, they don’t tell you if your insurance will actually cover something. I needed a mouth guard really bad because of my TMJ and they were very insistent that my insurance wouldn’t pay for one. Well guess what? They do, and they did. I had to go to the hospital in order to find that out, so thanks Bear River! They also don’t tell you if there’s a change in what they’re doing. When I finally did get my mouth guard, it was a completely different one than the one they said they were going to give me. I didn’t mind at the time, but my teeth broke through the flimsy plastic in less than 6 months.Lastly, they absolutely REFUSE to work with you on payment plans. At my last appointment, I decided I would pay out of pocket for a better mouth guard. They suggested a payment plan that I couldn’t really afford. While I could pay it, it would be taking 95% of my paycheck, which wouldn’t leave me anything to pay my bills with. I explained this to them multiple times but they refused to change the plan, instead they would just take the money out a couple of days later, because that’s so much more helpful. I would also like to add that they didn’t explain any of the payment plan before taking my impressions despite me asking. They just told me the full cost and that “we’ll work something out”. If I had know they weren’t going to work with me before they took my impressions, I never would’ve done it.Update: I got my new mouth guard two month ago, the on I paid out of pocket for. It’s specifically meant for people with TMJ and it’s supposed to prevent grinding. I spent $500 on this mouth guard and my teeth have already started to break it, so it does NOT help at all with grinding. My teeth have started making craters in the hard bit that’s supposed to stop your teeth from hitting the plastic. I would also like to add that the hard bit doesn’t prevent my teeth from touching the plastic, they just touch it in different spots, closer to the front instead of along my molars. This mouth guard was honestly a waste of money, and I stand by my earlier point of getting one from WalmartHonestly, if you’re looking for a mouth guard, just get one of the $25 silicone ones from Walmart. It’s way cheaper and way more convenient than trying to work with these guys

Review №99

I have NEVER been to a place that dealt with scared children as well as this place did. My son is deathly afraid of doctors because a past experience and the nurse and dentist here were so amazing at getting him calm and cooperative that as a mother I wanted to cry happy tears. This place is amazing and can make a difference in how your child may view any type of doctor and to top it all off they didnt push me to have extra stuff done to have to pay more money for. In fact I wanted to get my kids teeth pulled and he advised me to just have my son wiggle his teeth to get them out naturally so I didnt have to spend the money to have it done. I am definitely going to be a loyal customer here now!!!!
