Report
Dental assistants at this office are really gentle during the scraping & cleaning, very professional. A few years back, I made a special appointment because of a sharp, persistent tooth pain. The dentist (Ellenbecker) probed & prodded, did x-rays, but said he could absolutely not find any problem, said to come back in a week or so if the pain still didn't subside. A few days later the pain went away. The dentist had a free golden ticket to do anything he wanted, but choses honesty over $$$. Very happy with this organization! Thanks!

I only came in for a consult. I can't speak for the dental treatment but can Say Dr Hansen is a consciensious person who seems to care she does a good and right job and treats people right. Only 4 stars not reflecting her just some basic miscommunication on office end.

We've been very happy with South Western Dental's care for our family. Drs Hanson and Hartman have been there for us in both routine and emergency dental care, and we are so grateful. The hygienists do great work and everyone is calm, pleasant and encouraging, which is so nice when dental anxiety flares. We've recommended the practice to many friends and family members.

Report
Cleaning was excellent but no oral exam of teeth was done by the dentist although I was charged for an exam. Dentist just looked at X-rays. Called office about this practice and both dentist and hygienist denied my accusation. Surprised by the unethical conduct associated with this practice.

My family and I have gone to South Western Dental for years. All the staff are courteous and professional. Our kids (7 & 11 at the time I write this) have had their checkups with absolutely no issue. I highly recommend!
