Since that time, he's helped restore almost every tooth I have. With at least 1 crown and 2 root canals, plus a dozen or more fillings. His work has always been flawless - and entirely pain free! So good, in fact, that my entire family are patients here. About the only service he couldn't provide for us was surgical extraction of my daughter's wisdom teeth. Otherwise, we've always been happy to come here, and are always comfortable in the chair with him.

I've been coming here since it was Frieder Dental and the transition since then has been seamless. There have been nice improvements to the waiting area and the office in general, too. For those who dont like TVs playing news in waiting areas, this place doesnt do that. I have a long history of dental care and I've spent many hours in a dentist chair since childhood, but I'm no longer apprehensive about coming for my visits since I've been coming here. I definitely recommend this practice if you are looking for a family run dentistry that knows what they're doing, and that cultivates a nice atmosphere.

Worrying that it might get worse I called & requested a visit. Katrina got me set to come in early today. THEN I OVERSLEPT! Arghhh!!!! 'Kind Carolyn' called me and I zipped into the office. Within min's "Dr Katy" BELL was gently and expertly evaluating and (with Ashley's superlative support) repairing it making it well & "Good to Go Again" as we would say in the Navy. This office is "an Honors" office, Phi Beta Great(a). They are experts! Caring, in a clean & comfortable setting. They are Gentle and calm with expertise at every level of service. Best yet, with Dr Katy BELL taking over for her retiring Mom, Dr Barbara BELL, we have a legacy of Excellence CONTINUING (for hopefully 25+ More years). They can Count on my family, to rely on them for all of our professional dental care over these coming years! Thank you Dr BELL & your top flight Team! L. & D. HILL

This office was the quickest to contact me and in place of the old veneer, I had a crown made and the two week wait was worth it! I am now sporting a nice looking set of teeth although the crown is in the front. I am also deaf myself and the staff is very accommodating. Came back for a dental cleaning although I have my regular dentist. This is now my go-to. The dentist is also nice and professional!

I'm not gonna lie, my visit did not start off on the best foot. I had an appointment for 8:20 AM…read moreand wasn't taken back until 8:45. I was not informed what the delay was. The hygienist Rae (?), was AMAZING. She was super friendly. She took a full set of x-rays since I was a new patient and then gave me a pair of sunglasses to put on before she started my cleaning. They had numerous flavor options for the polishing paste. I was offered cherry, vanilla, mint and cookie dough. She checked on my comfort numerous times while she was working and was very thorough. There is a large flat-screen TV hanging high in front of the chair so you can watch TV while they work on your teeth. Once she completed the cleaning, Dr. Thackenkary came in to do the final examination. He did a complete oral cancer screen and checked the condition of my jaw, teeth and bite. He also explained about the pH of my saliva and how it helped to prevent cavities, which was interesting. He did not try to "sell" me anything else, like tooth whitening. Every other dentist I've been to has always tried to get me to pay for something else. Dr. Thackenkary advised me to come back in 6 months for my next routine visit and gave me a goodie bag with a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss and mouthwash. Neither Dr. Thackenkary or Rae were condescending or rude. I've been to some dentists who get a bit nasty when they are telling you about your teeth and if there is any plaque or anything. Not these two! Rae just explained how to better floss my bottom molars to help prevent buildup in the future. Overall, I was extremely pleased with my visit. Friendly staff and straightforward dental care. I highly recommend others visit Opal Ridge Dental for their dental needs. You'll be pleased.

I have a mild case of PTSD from going to the dentist as a child. When I was a toddler, my top 4…read morebaby teeth rotted out from my mom putting honey on my pacifier (it was the 70s). My small town, rural dentist replaced the rotten baby teeth with fake silver ones until my adult teeth grew in, and the experience was traumatizing. During that procedure, I ended up biting the dentist (it hurt!) and he bit me back!! I always seemed to have cavities as a kid, and the sound of the drill can still send me into a panic. My parents wouldn't tell me until the day of my appointment that I was going because I would agonize for days leading up to the visit. As an adult, I still have trouble getting fully numb for fillings, and just the thought of going to the dentist triggers the fight/flight response. Dr. Edland is the first dentist who truly listened and worked with me on my trouble with Novocain. He is patient, and waits until the anesthetic fully takes hold. There has been one time where I could still feel pain after he started drilling - he stopped, injected more anesthetic, and waited for it to take effect. I can't tell you how grateful I am for his kind and gentle demeanor. He also fully explains everything he is doing, keeping you updated on how far he's gotten and how much work is left. He is pragmatic and doesn't push you into procedures that can wait. And his staff is just as wonderful! Receptionist Liz is an absolute delight. She always makes you feel like you're her favorite patient. Edie assists Dr. Edland during procedures and is attuned to your needs throughout. She always provides comfort and reassurance during stressful visits. Valerie is one of the dental hygienists who is so sweet and gentle. Everyone at this practice is amazing. I just could not recommend Dr. Edland and his staff more!!

She needed two people on staff to help her replace the filling (on a molar in the back). She left my tooth not filed down properly so my bite has to be corrected by a new dentist I need to find now. I typically don't leave bad reviews but this practice is incompetent. The back office doesn't manage accounting well and they don't return calls. I suggest you avoid this practice completely. If not, maybe this review will result in them getting things in better operational order.

No, they unilaterally cancelled it for their convenience. And we wonder why healthcare is so poor in this country when doctor's offices don't value the patrons or honor their commitments. As human beings, realize not everyone has the flexibility or bandwidth in their jobs to appease your reminders. The front desk was rude, unempathetic and made it clear that my time was expendable. The dentist and owner has always been nice to me so some stars but other staff leave something to be desired... especially the front desk. To the admin: you are interacting with people whom have responsibilities that you'll never know or understand so I'll tell you the advice I got when I was just 15 years old: treat everyone with respect.
