I'm only ever here when I have something catastrophic going on with my teeth (stating the obvious),…read moreand this last time it was a very infected tooth where the infection was taking out bone, affecting my sinuses, etc. I was a mess, because my teeth hate me. Dr. Swiderski told me that TWO teeth needed to be pulled, because the one next to Bad Tooth was loose (fine, just a little) and the infection had basically caused too much bone loss. As is my way, I tried to air a grievance about this (and yes, I actually said "I'd like to air a grievance!"), noting that my Googling was surely as good as Dr. Swiderski's several advanced degrees and his prestigious residency at the Mayo Clinic. Perhaps not surprisingly, I was shot down, albeit nicely considering I was of course talking nonsense. All of the assistants are wonderful too, as I kept warning them that "I'm a baby about this stuff" and "it takes a lot of novocaine to work" and making the sad face of dread. Oh, and the x-ray apparatus they have is very high-tech! Regular plates hurt my mouth because I have mandibular tori (which I didn't even know weren't normal until I was an adult), but here they have a whirring machine that rotates and magically takes x-rays. Also, because I have a lot of stuff going on with my teeth, I was happy that Dr. S. mentioned cost, as in "let's triage and get the most critical stuff taken care of first" - not because he knew anything about my financial situation, but because dental/medical stuff is expensive and most insurance (including mine) has ridiculously low caps on what they'll pay out in total for dentistry. So, the point. This was a complicated dental surgery because so much of the bone was eaten away and it involved two teeth and I'm a wimp about anything dental-related....but I'll have to go back for follow up and probably bone grafting, and I actually don't dread it. That's how nice everyone there is, and how hard they work to make sure this is as pain-free as possible, so much unlike the root canal sadistic nightmares of my youth. It's also nice of Dr. Swiderski to check in the evening after surgery to make sure we're doing okay. Overall, if you need dental surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Swiderski and crew!

So glad I found Dr. Young. Not only is it super convenient that he's in West Salem and so am I, but…read moreI also love the fact that his prices are reasonable, he doesn't try to up-sell you on things you don't need, and he does very good dental work. Everyone in the entire office is friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel right at home. This is the type of dentist who doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth and have you in fear of going back to the dentist for future visits. I can say without hesitation that Dr. Young is world's better than the last dentist I was seeing in Keizer (Shorview Dental). I also very much appreciate the fact that they can see me on short notice, whereas my dentist in Keizer told me it could be 3-4 months just for an appointment to get a cavity filled (ridiculous). I can't recommend Dr. Young highly enough! If you're looking for the best dentist in Salem, this is it!

With zero amounts of irony, Dr. Bateman has quite literally changed my life…read more I have been terrified of the dentist since I was eight. To the point where even as I child I was having panic attacks. Every dentist I had treated me like a scared little kid even up until adult hood. So I stopped going. My fillings needed replaced, I had a cracked tooth, I had a cavity or two, and I was letting my mouth go to hell all because of my fear. But then I found this office, and everything changed. Dr. Bateman and his staff treated my anxiety seriously. They offered sedation methods that calmed me down to the point of WANTING to get treatment done. They have been patient, kind, and extremely accommodating. Not only can I eat normally again, but my smile looks better than ever and I have a new confidence I lost for years. If any of this sounds like you and your experiences: don't hesitate. You won't regret your time with this team.
