Comfortable Dentistry
Report
For many patients, visiting the dentist is an anxiety-ridden experience, whether due to past experiences or stories shared by others. However, in the long run, avoiding visiting a dentist causes more harm than good. Without regular preventative dental care, cavities, gingivitis, and other oral health-related issues can arise and become severe conditions without proper treatment.

Got me in for an appt the day after I called. Went to get a tooth pulled that was causing me a lot of pain. Girl who gave the shots was very good at it and the Dentist had my tooth out in 1 piece in about 2 min.

My entire family, 2 adults & 3 children, is taken care of here. The team remembers us by name making check-in super easy. The hygienists are very good about explaining everything before it happens, especially regarding my kids.

Brianna was my dental hygienist for my cleaning and x-rays. She is pleasant, professional, and very through and informative. It makes coming to the dentist a more enjoyable experience.

I hadn't seen a dentist in over 7 years so my anxiety level was high. Fortunately all of that changed when I got to University Place Dental! Everyone I interacted with today was professional, friendly, courteous and caring! Thank you so much to the support staff and dental staff, you're a great group of people!

Friendly, professional staff, thorough exam and plan of treatment. Everything explained clearly. My only criticism is that there were two people in the waiting room who weren't wearing masks, despite signs stating that masks were required, and no effort made to gain compliance.

Very nice, clean office with friendly staff. Good place to get cleanings done. Not good for other services. I kept choking on the water filling up at the back of my throat as the Dentist worked. I think placement and use of the suction tube is wrong. The dentist dosen't periodically stop to let the patient spit or check to be sure you're okay. The dentist also pressed down so firmly on my lower jaw while working, that he kept cutting off my airway.

I have had MANY dental procedures done over 40 years, by Dentists all over the country. I have never had these situations happen before. I will be finding someone else for my dental care.
